Morbius is supposed to be the second entry in Sony's all-new cinematic universe after 2018's Venom outing, and the debut trailer for the film planned to release this summer dropped earlier today. That's cool and all, but did you spot the Marvel's Spider-Man easter egg hidden away in the footage? Exactly two minutes and four seconds into the trailer, you'll get a glimpse of the friendly neighbourhood super-hero in a pose which may look distinctly familiar.
It's an image of Spider-Man wearing the classic Sam Raimi suit, but what's interesting is that Peter Parker isn't holding a pose sourced from those original three films. The trailer appears to use a modified version of an official Marvel's Spider-Man screenshot, as seen below.
The image has clearly been flipped, but that's the exact same capture, isn't it? To further confirm the easter egg, the vice president and head of creative at Marvel Games Bill Rosemann chimed in on Twitter saying: "Hmm...where have I seen that sweet Spidey suit before...?" Therefore, this is quite clearly a nice little nod to Spider-Man's web-swinging adventures on PlayStation 4.
What did you think of the new Morbius trailer? Did you catch the Spider-Man PS4 easter egg straight away? Swing into the comments below.

I was thinking the same thing when I saw the image on Twitter.
I was not expecting Morbius to look quite as good as it does.
I especially wasn't too sure of Leto's casting (possibly because I'd love to see more of his Joker), but it does look pretty good.
I did hope that it wouldn't stray in to MCU Spider-Man territory, but I suppose Keaton being there puts pay to that.
Was surprised to see Keaton in there. Wonder if part of Sony's deal with Marvel means Tom Holland will be making an appearance at some point then
@Rob_230 Probably not, given that this was filmed before they signed that new deal (which may also explain the use of the Raimi suit despite that art being a reference to Far From Home's ending). Venom 2, however... maybe Tom will pop up in that one, since it was filmed in November.
The trailer took me by surprise. Looks pretty good, hope they have learnt their lessons from Venom.
@Orpheus79V excellent points. Hadn't thought about that!
My problem with the Morbius trailer is that it makes the movie look like "The Passage". Heck, the girl in the bed looks like the girl from The Passage.
The Passage trailer doesn't look like this trailer as much as the show did, but you get the idea.
I do like Mobius, was a big fan of Midnight Sons, but I'm not sold on the movie yet.
Don't know much about this character but I do hope it's better than that Venom movie.
Interesting... Based on the graffiti, this movie takes place after the events in Spider-man: Far From Home.
