A leak suggests that Venom could be a third playable character in the upcoming Marvel’s Spider-Man 2, at least in certain missions. Insomniac teased the arrival of Spider-Man’s notorious foe in its previous two Marvel’s Spider-Man games, with the added twist of Peter Parker’s longtime best friend Harry Osborn being the host of the deadly alien Symbiote instead of the usual Eddie Brock. Sure enough, the reveal trailer for Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 saw Venom emerge from the shadows to terrorize Peter and rookie web-slinger Miles Morales, with horror icon Tony Todd providing the voice of the symbiotic monster in his latest video game appearance.
A popular theory is that both Peter Parker and Miles Morales will be playable in Marvel’s Spider-Man 2, but fans have speculated that players will be able to control Venom as well due to his similar abilities and apparent importance to the game’s plot. Venom previously served as an alternate playable character in 2005’s Ultimate Spider-Man game, but the idea of controlling the fan-favorite supervillain with the level of polish and intensity that Insomniac has given to Peter and Miles in its previous Spider-Man titles remains an exciting prospect to gamers and Marvel enthusiasts alike.
