Michael Weatherly loves to keep fans guessing. Earlier this year, the actor posted throwbacks from his NCIS days, and low and behold he ended up in David McCallum's tribute episode.
Next, he tweeted photos of Cote de Pablo and then announced that they'd teamed up on the spin-off series, Tony & Ziva, so it's safe to say that Michael has a habit of teasing spoilers on social media.
And now, in a new development, Michael has shared two posts back to back on X, sparking rumors of a potential reunion with Mark Harmon. After tweeting a snap of a car with the number plate 'Spy', which he captioned "European intrigue", the TV star followed up with a GIF of Tony DiNozzo and Leroy Jethro Gibbs.
A coincidence that got fans talking, Michael was instantly hit with questions. "Are you feeling nostalgic, or is there something you're trying to tell us, Michael?" quipped one.
"I so needed this! I miss the Gibbs slap! Is this a hint Gibbs may make a cameo in the Tony & Ziva show?" added another.
Meanwhile, a third penned: "You are definitely giving us some clues today. Spies + Europe + Gibbs. Some of this persecution of Tony, Ziva and Tali for Europe, [could it be] related to when Gibbs was undercover in Paris maybe?"

Currently, Mark Harmon isn't billed to star, although he has marked his return to the NCIS universe, after signing on as a narrator in the prequel series, Origins.
Set to premiere in 2025, Tony & Ziva will air on Paramount+, with fans treated to 10 new episodes.

"Since then – and where we find them in the new Paramount+ original series – Tony and Ziva have been raising their daughter, Tali, together.

Mark may not be on the cast list, but it's known that Downton Abbey star Julian Ovenden and Oppenheimer's James D'Arcy have signed on.
