The actor who plays Peter Parker inMarvel’s Spider-Man 2has reflected on the game’s ending, teasing that he doesn’t think we’ve seen the last of his character.
In an interview withVariety, Yuri Lowenthal, who has played Peter Parker in all ofInsomniac’s Spider-Man games, spoke about his experience working on the sequel, as well as its ending - which suggests thatMiles Morales is now Insomniac’s lead Spider-Man.
“There have been some comments recently that were picked up to infer that Peter’s out and Miles is in,” the actor explains. “While I think that Peter would love to believe that he can just turn it off and not be Spider-Man anymore and live a completely normal life, I don’t think that’s what’s going to happen now.”
You should skip this paragraph to avoidMarvel’s Spider-Man 2 spoilersbut what the actor is referring to here is the ending scene that essentially has Peter handing over the Spider-Man reigns to Miles. This part is left a little open, with Peter taking a slight step back, but there’s always a chance Peter could suit up as Spidey again.
Talking about this scene, Lowenthal adds: “I think 100% he trusts Miles. Miles has really stepped up and he’s like, ‘Oh, maybe I can get a little break.’ And Ididget a vacation to Symkaria during the Miles game. Not much of vacation, but at least at least MJ got to learn to ride a motorcycle, which is awesome.”
Ahead of Marvel’s Spider-Man 2’s release, the actor revealedhe wants to play Peter Parker “forever,“that is, if Insomniac let him. We haven’t got official confirmation on whether a Marvel’s Spider-Man 3 is in development yet, but we do know that the studio’s upcomingMarvel’s Wolverinegamewill take place in the same universe as the Spider-Man gamesand that aVenom spin-off gamecould be in development.

After studying Film Studies and Creative Writing at university, I was lucky enough to land a job as an intern at Player Two PR where I helped to release a number of indie titles. I then got even luckier when I became a Trainee News Writer at GamesRadar+ before being promoted to a fully-fledged News Writer after a year and a half of training. My expertise lies in Animal Crossing: New Horizons, cozy indies, and The Last of Us, but especially in the Kingdom Hearts series. I’m also known to write about the odd Korean drama for the Entertainment team every now and then.
