One ofMarvel’s Spider-Man 2’s actors thinks their series' villains are second only to Batman’s.
Yuri Lowenthal, the voice of Peter Parker in both ofInsomniac’s Spider-Man games, has compared the villains in Marvel’s long-running superhero series to DC’s Batman’s - revealing that he believes Spider-Man’s rogue gallery villains are “second to” or maybe even “on par” with Batman’s villains aka The Joker, Riddler, Scarecrow, and Penguin.
In an interview withCollider, Lowenthal was asked if there are any villains he’d personally like to see in a potential third Marvel’s Spider-Man game, to which the actor responded: “It’s tough, and I certainly don’t wanna spoil things for people who are just getting started playing this game or who haven’t played it yet. I will just comment by saying that, second to maybe Batman or maybe on par with Batman, Spider-Man has the greatest rogues gallery villains.”
So far, In Insomniac’s universe, we’ve seen Peter Parker come up against a number of Marvel villains including Vulture, Electro, Rhino, Kingpin, Mister Negative, and many more. As revealed in the trailers for Marvel’s Spider-Man 2, we’re about to come face to face with even more of these recognizable bad guys such as Venom, Kraven the Hunter, and The Sandman. It’ll be interesting to see if we get any more surprise appearances when the game launches later this week.
In a different interview, theMarvel’s Spider-Man 2 actor said they want to play Peter Parker “forever” - if Insomniac let them.

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.
