Spider-Man: Into The Spider-Verse Spin-Off: Everything You Need To Know

7. Silk Has Already Featured In The MCU

It might have been more of a nod to comic book fans than it was trying to anchor her in the MCU’s lore, but it’s worth noting nonetheless. With Donald Glover's Aaron Davis referencing his nephew, we know Miles exists in the MCU too, and that had no bearing on the first Into The Spider-Verse whatsoever.

However, with so much Spidey coming next year, there’s plenty of reasons to rewatch. Into The Spider-Verse will be out on DVD, Endgame and Far From Home will be in theatres and the PS4 hit game will likely see a sequel announced. This reference is just one to keep an eye open for.

Tiffany Espensen plays ‘Cindy’ in Spider-Man: Homecoming, one of Peter Parker’s regular classmates. She’s part of the mathletes, but other than that doesn’t particularly get much screentime. Even her name of Cindy might have been a coincidence rather than a nod.

However, there are some longer term plans for live action Silk too, covered a little later in the list. And tied to that is confirmation that Cindy’s last name is indeed Moon, and that Cindy in Homecoming is therefore Silk.
