While Marvel Cinematic Universe is owned by The Walt Disney Company, not one recent Disney movie has mentioned Spider-Man until Chip n’ Dale: Rescue Rangers (2022). But it’s not Tom Holland’s web-slinger.

Chip n’ Dale: Rescue Rangers is a smash-hit on Disney+ that not many fans expected to be filled with countless easter eggs and even nods to other franchises, including Zack Snyder’s Batman from Warner Bros. and Paul Rudd’s “Aunt-Man” in the MCU.

Now, fans have found another Marvel reference, this time with Spider-Man. But it’s not Disney’s Spider-Man:

Out of all the Spider-Man actors and characters to pay tribute to in Rescue Rangers, Disney chooses Miles Morales.

Undoubtedly one of the most beloved versions of this superhero, fans were blown away to find Miles’ infamous graffiti piece spray-painted behind Chip (John Mulaney) and Date (Andy Samberg) in the streaming movie.

It can be hard to spot, but upon pausing the film, Twitter user @AlliterAndy spotted Miles Morales’ masterpiece from Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse (2018).

With this Spider-Man insignia present in the film, does that mean Miles Morales lives in this universe? Or perhaps this is the Multiverse, and fans are watching the world of Who Framed Roger Rabbit (1988) unfold in an unofficial sequel to the revolutionary live-action/animated movie?

Nonetheless, it’s fascinating that Disney went with a Miles Morales Spider-Man reference rather than a Tom Holland Spidey nod, given that Morales is mainly out of their ballpark with Sony Animation Studios overseeing the production and direction of Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse (2023) and Spider-Man: Beyond the Spider-Verse (2024). Of course, Marvel Studios has some oversight with Miles Morales, but Tom Holland’s Spider-Man is much more in their control.

More about Chip ‘n Dale: Rescue Rangers

In Chip ‘n Dale: Rescue Rangers, Chip and Dale are living amongst cartoons and humans in modern-day Los Angeles, but their lives are quite different now. It has been decades since their successful television series was canceled, and Chip (voice of Mulaney) has succumbed to a life of suburban domesticity as an insurance salesman. Dale (voice of Sandberg), meanwhile, has had CGI surgery and works the nostalgia convention circuit, desperate to relive his glory days. When a former castmate mysteriously disappears, Chip and Dale must repair their broken friendship and take on their Rescue Rangers detective personas once again to save their friend’s life.
