Is Peter Parker going to get killed off in Marvel’s Spider-Man 3? That could actually happen, as Insomniac Games has revealed that Miles Morales, the biracial Spider-Man that originally debuted in Marvel Comics in 2011 as part of the Ultimate Universe and got his own standalone game nearly a decade later, is now the “main” Spider-Man for the developer. Brittney Morris, one of Insomniac’s writers, shared the news with Gizmodo as part of a recent interview, explaining that the switch from Parker to Morales was something that was bound to happen. Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 is now available to play exclusively on the PS5 for $69.99.
io9: You said earlier you basically knew right away that you wanted playable Venom. Does that also apply to ending this game with Miles as the “main” Spider-Man from now on?
Morris: It always felt very natural, and I think we all collectively thought it would happen. To me, it shows a great deal of evolution from Miles; at the beginning of the game, we see him struggling to figure out what he wants to do with his life. By the end, we had Miles carrying the burden of saving the city, and also carrying Pete when Pete wasn’t strong enough to carry himself at various points.
That’s what’s been so cool about writing a story about two Spider-Men: they’re both strong, and one of them can be strong when the other is not. By the end, Miles is more confident and he’s like, “Yeah, I got this. How much worse can things get after what we just went through?”
They’re gonna k*ll off Peter in the next game aren’t they… https://t.co/JICo4JNFeR pic.twitter.com/0DtfUsb9Yy
