Dark Marvel's Spider-Man 2 Fan Art Shows Peter At Venom's Mercy
A fanmade concept poster for Marvel's Spider-Man 2 depicts a brutal showdown between Peter Parker's webhead and the title's main antagonist, Venom. Although fans have already been introduced to Insomniac's version of Peter Parker's Spider-Man and his white-spidered Advanced Suit redesign in the 2018 game, a teaser trailer for the upcoming sequel showed a glimpse at a more traditional design for Venom.
Insomniac's take on the Spider-Man mythos has been highly praised, with many deeming 2018's Marvel's Spider-Man and 2020's Marvel's Spider-Man: Miles Morales the best Spider-Man games to date. The series has also been hugely successful, as Sony announced that it had sold over 33 million copies globally as of May 2022. Marvel's Spider-Man offered a more mature take on Peter Parker as he navigates life as a young adult, rather than the more common depictions of him as a high schooler, resulting in a title that ventured into darker territory. Marvel's Spider-Man 2 will be darker than the first game, according to Marvel, with the arrival of Venom posing a new threat to Peter and Miles.

Because of these darker themes, Redditor The_Living_Paradox's poster concept for the upcoming sequel is not out of place for the series. The fan poster features Venom looming over a beaten Peter Parker, trapped in a black web with the symbiote's bloodied claws approaching for the kill. Venom has always been one of Spider-Man's darker antagonists, and many fans are looking forward to seeing how Insomniac chooses to depict the Alien Costume Saga in Marvel's Spider-Man 2.
