[The Indirect] Spider-Man 3 PS5 Star Confirms What We All Suspected About the New Game's Story

Identifies as young
Insomniac Games' Peter Parker actor Yuri Lowenthal spoke exclusively with The Direct on February 22 at MultiCon, a benefit held for the L.A. wildfire recovery, and the topic of Spider-Man 3, of course, came up.

Spider-Man 2 ended with Peter Parker setting down his web-slinging mantle (for now) and leaving Miles Morales to take care of New York. Peter will seemingly be putting his personal life first for some time while continuing the Emily-May Foundation from his garage and remaining a mentor to Miles.

During the interview, The Direct's Russ Milheim asked Lowenthal what Spider-Man 2's ending means for Peter's future in the next game. The actor confirmed, as expected, that Peter "won't be relegated to the couch" and will instead have a key role in Spider-Man 3's plot:

"There are very few things that I can say about this game, but you have somehow landed on the one thing that I can answer, and that's that, yes, Peter is not gone. He will be a part of the next game and he won't be relegated to the couch, I promise."

The news will come as no surprise to most Spider-Man gamers, as Peter's step back from heroism was always implied to be temporary. While Spider-Man 3 will likely open with Miles Morales as New York's only wall-crawler, perhaps some new mystery or terrifying villain will pull him back into action.

At the end of Spider-Man 2, Norman Osborn orders someone to "get the G-serum ready ASAP" while his son Harry lies in dire condition. As this may be setting up Green Goblin to be among the villains of Spider-Man 3, Peter's ties to the Osborn family should be enough to thrust him back into action to stop Norman's plans.

Spider-Man 2's post-credit scene introduced Cindy Moon to the Insomniac Games universe as the daughter of Rio Morales' boyfriend Albert. Fans of Marvel Comics will be well aware that Cindy will one day become Silk, another spidery superhero who was bitten by the same radioactive arachnid that gave Peter his powers.

Many have speculated Cindy will become Silk and be playable in Spider-Man 3, standing alongside Peter and Miles. Dialing the heroics up to three heroes would open the doors to more gameplay variety, especially as Silk would presumably boast her own set of abilities, upgrades, and side characters.



The couch? No no.....Mary Jane has important work for him to do....

Well, Sony is actively getting rid of any white heterosexual male protagonists.

So makes total sense that unless Sony makes a U turn with their wokism, pretty likely Morales and Silk will lead the next game, with Peter -if something- taking a very secondary support role, mostly NPC, maybe as retired, enemy or killed.

"Won't be relegated"

Dude, I reafirm that this is the era of brainrot people. Who the fuck would have though that Spider-man would be relegated from his own Spider-man game?

Oh yeah right. The Woke-man 2, that made it looks like Peter Parker is old and white and a new one, better and black should arise to hold the mantle.

But bro will we at least get to sample pigeon chatter and construction workers hitting stuff with a sledgehammer to make our sick mix tape?

Shit games, won’t be wasting my time on the next one.

Miles kills Peter with a golf club in the end.
Miles discovers deep down in himself he feels like a Millie, then after he is done with the transition he discovers true evil behind everything is that nasty cis-male peter parker, then we go to the golf club conclusion and neil cuckman as a cameo giving Millie a trophy for most beatiful woman of the year, and every1 live happily ever after :messenger_ok:

Ya know what? No.
I'm not buying Spider-Man 3 where Miles is the main character. It was already shaky with Insomniac's rehashing of gameplay and even worse, the HORRENDOUS writing. But this seals it.

I can spend my money and time on better things whenever this comes out.
unless I find out that Spiderman 2 has a whole new writing staff and Insomniac regrets the way they handled SM2, and they make Mary Jane and Black Cat insanely hot, I think I feel the same way. Spiderman 2 was a real letdown outside of the mostly solid story missions and set pieces.

What a mess both this franchise and Insomniac have become.

Said it many times already and i’ll say it again, the second game is my biggest gaming disappointment ever. Broken, rushed, awful story, and so many other bad things.

Which is a huge shame because the first is one of my favourite games ever.

Couldn’t care less about this third game now.

not that it was broken/rushed, but this's otherwise close to exactly how i feel about the last of us & it's sequel. sony's overseen the release of some seriously inferior sequels of late...

Is so bizarre a company that have the IP rights of Spider-Man downplaying so much the importance of 'Peter Parker' as a Spider-Man. And they don't even have the guts to remove Peter entirely from the game because Mire Molares is very impopular.

I can only thing that famouns scene from the Pixar 'The Incredibles' when the villain say 'when everyone is super, no one will be'


Anyone here still have doubts about how Wolverine will be?
