According to director Jon Watts and writer Christopher Ford, there's still one undiscovered easter egg in Tom Holland's third solo MCU movie. Spider-Man: No Way Home was packed with references to previous Marvel movies and the source material. After all, the Phase 4 multiversal movie is a love letter to Spider-Man's twenty-year movie history. As such, it offers plenty of details that die-hard fans can pick up on every rewatch.

More than three years after its release, Spider-Man: No Way Home still offers one more mystery to crack. During an interview with ScreenRant about their 2025 Star Wars show Skeleton Crew, . Watts drops a clue, saying, "there's some very, very deep-cut references to dumb videos that Ford and I made on YouTube a long time ago." Read Watts and Ford's full comments below:

I will preface this by saying there is an Easter egg in No Way Home that no one has found.

It's a hard one, but people found a lot of our intentionally placed Easter eggs. There was also a thing where people find Easter eggs that we didn't put there. We're like, "Yeah, great." And then there's some very, very deep-cut references to dumb videos that Ford and I made on YouTube a long time ago.

Yeah, it's like people pick up the ones that are from super famous movies. And then the ones that are references to our own short films, somehow people don't know those ones.

Spider-Man: No Way Home's easter eggs were some of the movie's most anticipated reveals in 2021. Naturally, fans have examined every frame to find every possible reference to MCU and non-MCU movies and shows. However, the reason the reference hasn't been found may be that it isn't a nod to any Marvel property. Instead, as Jon Watts and Christopher Ford suggest, .

It's easy to get carried away in the search for Marvel easter eggs and nods every time an MCU title comes out. But many MCU movies and shows have included subtle nods to other properties.

Like , other hidden details like Guardians of the Galaxy's long-undiscovered easter eggs, are so contrived that they take many years to find.
