As is always the case with any Marvel Cinematic Universe film, fans have been looking out for and talking about all of the Easter eggs that appear in Spider-Man: Brand New Day.
Under normal circumstances, Marvel movie fans would have to wait until they can watch the film in the privacy of their home to figure them all out. However, Will Dixon, who is credited as a graphics assistant on Spider-Man: Brand New Day, has already been sharing several of the little Easter eggs that he snuck into the film.
The items Dixon has been sharing are certainly not things the average filmgoer would ever notice while watching Spider-Man: Brand New Day in a theater. In fact, most of them would probably have gone unnoticed by even the most rabid fan, even after watching it and being able to pause it or slow it down on digital or DVD.
‘Spider-Man: Brand New Day’ Easter eggs were in the little details
“I was disappointed when I found out that the Daily Bugle and J. Jonah Jameson weren’t going to be in Brand New Day, so I squeezed in some Daily Bugle articles onto Ned’s Spider-Man conspiracy wall,” Dixon wrote on X.
“One morning I was asked to very quickly create a pickle jar label as Peter knocks one off his kitchen cupboard,” he explained in another post. “I decided to use the same words from one of Giacchino’s No Way Home soundtracks. Will anyone see this in the film? No. Did it make me happy? Yes.”
“I designed the chili can label that Frank holds. Sadly you never see the front of it, but I named the brand after Punisher co-creator Gerry Conway. Such a shame Gerry passed before he could see Brand New Day,” he wrote in another post.
“For Bruce Banner’s lecture, I had to create some stickers for some of the student’s [sic] laptops,” Dixon revealed in another set of images. “Not sure if you can see any in the film, but I made stickers of some Spider-Man villains and a sticker of the Ultimate Spider-Man comic logo. Even if they’re not seen, I had fun.”
Dixon also shared some inside news on his Letterboxd account
Also, Gizmodo reports that over on Dixon’s Letterboxd he revealed that the kids’ drawings we see in the film were actually his, drawn when he was a child. Go figure.
“During that scene, all I could think about was that little child version of myself, sitting at the kitchen table happily making up his own Spider-Man adventures. He never would’ve imagined in a million years that he’d grow up and get to work on a Spider-Man film,” Dixon wrote. “I hope I made him proud.”
He also added on X, “Don’t worry, more exciting Easter Eggs are yet to be revealed!” It’s been three days, but he hasn’t shared any more, so hopefully he keeps his word.
