Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 is full of recognizable names and faces throughout an action-packed story, but the cameo of a character called Delilah has raised some question marks.
While other cameos in the game will have lead to “Oh my God” moments, there are a couple that may leave you scratching your head—and Delilah is undoubtedly among them.
Be warned, there are spoilers ahead in this article for players who still need to complete all side missions available in New York City.
Who is Delilah in Spider-Man 2?
In the comics, Delilah is a well-versed assassin. In Marvel’s Spider-Man 2, the Delilah character was a finished character from the Across the Spider-Verse movie. The plan was for Delilah to serve as the bartender at the Bath with No Name, an interdimensional bar for supervillains.
Players will only encounter Delilah and the big tease she provides by collecting all Spider-Bots from across New York, resulting in a final destination being triggered where you must head to see a cut scene.
In the scene, Delilah takes all of the collected Spider-Bots away. She tells Spider-Man to inform Miguel that it is “finder’s keepers”—a considerable tease for Miguel O’Hara, also known as Spider-Man 2099.
Spider-Man 2099 was a significant character in the Across the Spider-Verse movie, and the art style of the scene, and Delilah herself, matches up with that movie perfectly—and there’s an excellent reason for this.
While that means she won’t stand out as a recognizable face, it does confirm that Insomniac’s Spider-Man series is set in the multiverse shown in Across the Spider-Verse and could also be part of the MCU’s universe.
Whether these links will be explored further remains to be seen, but it’s almost sure that Insomniac has something up its sleeves, having also revealed Cindy Moon at the end of the game.
