The Fly in a couple of scenes


Never read the comics so I do not know if both scenes with the fly were deliberate for some kind of easter egg clue for a later reveal or they simply did not cut/edit them out.

I didn't as much see the fly, as hear the fly, so if they went to the trouble of adding a sound effect I think it's a set up for a later reveal.

My speculation is that it's either a tiny robot fly, or someone with powers turned into a fly, and whatever it is it's spying on them. But I didn't read the comics either sooo I might be wrong.

Yes, the sound was the most obvious of the two since there are movies filmed in places like Australia where the flies are constantly in the actors faces without the added sound effect.

I saw and heard it at least twice, maybe a third time, and kept wondering when they would reveal who or what it is. The first time I rewound to make sure it was a part of the show and not a fly that had flown in front of my television!

You can't keep out Marvel no matter how hard you try. It was Ant-Man and Wasp spying on the set. (jk!)

reply

Noticed this too. Not once but twice, and the actors just ignore it not even a swat. However it seems ridiculous if the reveal is not in the same season -- how did they know it would be renewed.

reply

Yes i thought i was the only one that noticed this!
At least 2-3 scenes the fly was seen and heard and i was waiting for the big reveal that is was supe that could turn onto fly and was being a 'bug' in both senses of the word.

According to Eric Kripke the flies were real and he left them in for realism, because no one does that.
