Insomniac teases Daredevil appearance in Marvel's Wolverine with cryptic social post
Insomniac's latest social media post drops a "lawyer lingo" joke that has Marvel fans convinced Daredevil will appear in Wolverine. The cryptic tease follows years of Nelson & Murdock hints in Spider-Man games, suggesting Matt Murdock's gaming debut is coming.
Insomniac Games has dropped a cryptic social media tease that fans believe strongly hints at Daredevil's appearance in the upcoming Marvel's Wolverine game. The developer posted an image of Wolverine extending his claws with the caption: "'Claws?' What's that, some kind of fancy lawyer lingo?" — a pun that immediately sparked speculation about Matt Murdock's involvement.
The lawyer connection fans spotted
The "lawyer lingo" reference in Insomniac's post has fans convinced it points directly to Daredevil, also known as attorney Matt Murdock. Charlie Cox's portrayal of the character in the Daredevil TV series and various Marvel Cinematic Universe projects has made him a fan favourite, and the legal profession connection seems too specific to be coincidental.
Marvel fans immediately flooded the replies with gifs of Cox in his iconic red suit, interpreting the tease as confirmation that the Hell's Kitchen hero will finally make his full debut in Insomniac's Marvel gaming universe.

Years of Spider-Man game hints
This isn't the first time Insomniac has teased Daredevil's involvement. The developer has been dropping hints throughout its Spider-Man series, most notably with references to Nelson & Murdock's law office. The firm's sign appeared in the first Spider-Man game, was replaced by an eviction notice in Spider-Man 2, then mysteriously restored in a post-launch patch.
Game director Bryan Intihar even addressed the Nelson & Murdock sign changes in late 2023, telling fans to "stay tuned" when asked about the character's potential future. The games also featured other Daredevil-themed locations including Josie's Bar and Fogwell's Gym, plus references to Matt Murdock and Jennifer Walters starting a legal firm together.
What we know about Wolverine
Marvel's Wolverine is scheduled for release in the second half of 2026, exclusively for PlayStation consoles. The game received its most substantial showing during the September State of Play broadcast, though many details remain under wraps following Insomniac's preference for secrecy.
The project gained unwanted attention in late 2023 when leaked footage and development details surfaced following a hack of Insomniac's systems. Those leaks also revealed the studio's broader plans, including details about Wolverine's 2026 timeline and other upcoming projects.
