2023 is another huge year for comic book properties. Not just on the big screen, but in the video game industry as well. On the Marvel side of the equation the biggest thing on comic book fans’ radar is the PlayStation 5 exclusive game from Insomniac Games,Spider-Man 2. The sequel to the hit 2018 game and its spin-offSpider-Man: Miles Morales, will once again continue the adventures ofYuri Lowenthal’s Peter Parker andNadji Jeter’s Miles Morales. Now, to hype up this web slinging sequel even more,Hasbrohas announced their newSpider-Man 2Miles Marvel Legend figure.
The six-inch figure sees Miles in his classic black in red outfit that he wore in his self-titled spin-off and the upcoming sequel. Unlike with Peter’s Spidey suit which features a unique layer of white throughout his iconic red and blue color scheme, Miles looks very much like how he appears in the comics in this game universe. The figure also comes with seven accessories including interchangeable hands. Of course, you have the web shooting variety, but Miles also has unique powers of his own that Peter doesn’t have. Mainly “Venom Blast” which is an electroshock that gives Milesan edge in combat. Venom Blast effects pieces will be included with the figure. However, the best part of the accessories isSpider-Catwhich was introduced in Mile’s spin-off game. This famous feline crime fighter doesn’t come with their Spidey mask, but they’re still as cute as ever. One of the best parts of the spin-off was Mile’s unlockable costume that let you swing around New York with Spider-Cat in your backpack.
What We Know AboutSpider-Man 2So Far
While there’s still a lot of unknowns aboutSpider-Man 2’s plot at this time, the sequel will be paying off thespin-off’s post credit scenein a big way by introducing Venom who’s voiced by horror legendTony Todd. While the original teaser trailer for the sequel had both Spider-Men fighting together, this will be a single player focused game just like its predecessor. However, the reason why the first game worked so well is that, besides the amazing open world gameplay, it featured a wonderful and emotional character driven story. It’s one of the best Spider-Man stories ever written and Mile’s spin-off also packed a lot of satisfying dramatic punch. IfSpider-Man 2can do for Venom what Insomniac did for Doc Ock and The Tinkerer, Marvel fans are in for another epic superhero treat. With Miles’ cinematic return right around the corner inSpider-Man: Across the Spider-Versethis June, it’s an amazing time to be a Spider-Man fan.
