Insomniac Games, the developer behind PlayStation’s beloved Spider-Man games and the upcoming Wolverine<\/a>, just dropped a teasing hint at another Marvel hero who fans now think is likely to appear.<\/p>\n

In a post<\/a> on Twitter\/X, Insomniac Games shared an image of Wolverine extending his claws and turning to face… someone, alongside the caption: “‘Claws?’ What’s that, some kind of fancy lawyer lingo?”<\/p>\n

The line is a fun pun on Wolverine’s blades, and the kind of clause a lawyer might include in a legal contract \u2014 but which lawyer? Well, Marvel fans will know there’s only one legal representative who’d likely seek out Wolverine when he’s in another one of his moods.<\/p>\n

Of course, fans have immediately taken the tease to be a nod at the appearance of Daredevil, otherwise known as Matt Murdock, as played by Charlie Cox in the Daredevil TV series and a swathe of other projects in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. <\/p>\n

Fans have long been expecting Daredevil to make an appearance in one of Insomniac’s Marvel games, too, after numerous references to the character in the developer’s Spider-Man titles. <\/p>\n

A sign outside Nelson & Murdock’s office appeared in Spider-Man 1, and was noted by fans as having been removed in Spider-Man 2 and replaced by an eviction notice. A post-launch Spider-Man 2 patch then re-added the Nelson & Murdock sign, hinting at some kind of story for the character being in the offing \u2014 something the game’s director Bryan Intihar even commented<\/a> on in late 2023, teasing: “Stay tuned.”<\/p>\n

Further references to the character have teased Murdock and Jennifer Walters apparently starting a legal firm together, and included other Daredevil-themed locations such as Josie’s Bar and Fogwell’s Gym. Clearly, the character has been on Insomniac’s mind for some time \u2014 perhaps Wolverine is where we’ll finally see him?<\/p>\n

As you would expect, replies to Insomniac’s latest post have immediately picked up on the studio’s apparent Daredevil hint, and responded with numerous gifs of Charlie Cox in his iconic red suit. Well, why not.<\/p>\n

Due for release this during the latter half of 2026, Marvel’s Wolverine remains somewhat under-wraps \u2014 though we finally got a decent look at the game during last September’s State of Play broadcast<\/a>. In late 2023, leaked footage and other development details hit the internet following a high-profile hack of Insomniac data<\/a>, which also included details of an array of future and canceled projects.<\/p>\n
