The Marvel fans are known for having Hawkeye’s vision when it comes to spotting small easter eggs and details. It looks like they have not leftInvincibleas well. In the latest and theseventh episodetitled “I’m Not Going Anywhere“, a specific action by Rex Splode has sparked a buzz among fans. In a specific scene, the character imitates Spider-Man’s web-throwing hand motion.
The buzz was even more elevated when Invincible’sofficial X handlealso acknowledged the reference and tweeted-“With great power comes great energy blasts using this hand motion for no particular reason at all”. The reference in the 7th episode, soon after Josh Keaton’s announcement of featuring in one of the episodes of the series hinted to the fans that something’s cooking.

Despite being interesting, it must be noted that the reference is very subtle and still does not confirm anything about Josh Keaton’s potential appearance in theSteven Yeunseries. With only one episode left, it will be interesting to see if they are planning for a mega-crossover finale.

Josh Keaton has added in anothertweetthat he did not even get the full script to read. There is“NSA level security”to the whole plan. Several fans are also skeptical about the entire crossover thing due to the issues of rights to the characters. The Spider-Man rights have been one of the most confusing things to exist in Marvel.
However, on the other hand, Amazon Prime is also making two Spider-Man series-Silk: Spider SocietyandSpider-Man Noir. So it will be interesting to find out if Josh Keaton is indeed recreating one of the iconic comic book crossovers between the web-crawler and Mark Grayson or if it is just a mere marketing stunt to increase the hype for the season finale.
Invincible Season 2 Episode 8will be streamed on Amazon Prime on August 10, 2025.
