Summary
Only so many suits carried over fromMarvel’s Spider-ManandMiles MoralestoMarvel’s Spider-Man 2. Knowing how many would be in the sequel it was never expected thatMarvel’s Spider-Man 2would feature all of its predecessors’ suits, and seeing which ones made the cut is likely a good indicator of which skins Insomniac deemed most popular. Insomniac has clearly always wanted to make players’ Spider-Man dreams come true, and for a lot of players those dreams seem to be donning Spider-Man suits adapted from Sam Raimi’sSpider-Mantrilogy as well as Marc Webb’sThe Amazing Spider-Manduology.
The RaimiSpider-Man 2suit, dubbed the Webbed suit inMarvel’s Spider-Man, was added to the game following a period where the community had harassed Insomniac. But whether Insomniac chose to add the suit in response to that or of its own accord, it was then part ofMarvel’s Spider-Man 2’s costume catalog as well alongside the debut of its black symbiote variant, or the Webbed Black suit. Lately there have been rumors that Raimi will finally get to see his fourthSpider-Manmovie come to fruition, and if so it will have been fortuitous that Insomniac took the time to render these suits with such care and skill.
Insomniac Got Out in Front of Raimi Spider-Man Suits at the Perfect Time
Sony is putting allSpider-Manmoviesback into theaters to celebrate Columbia Pictures’ 100th anniversary. This is obviously a profitable endeavor for Sony and speculation suggests that its outcome could spell a green light on aSpider-Man 4if successful enough.
This is supported by the fact that Sam Raimi has now commented quite a few times on the possibility of aSpider-Man 4following his directorial role on the latestDoctor Strangemovie for the MCU, with his responses all being fairly hopeful rather than dismissive. Of course, until anything legitimate is announced there’s no telling whether aSpider-Man 4will ever happen.
Still, though, Insomniac has already established itsMarvel’s Spider-Manfranchise as the perfect outlet for anyone eager to see Tobey Maguire suiting up in red and blue tights again.Marvel’s Spider-Man 2’s New Game Plus update came with an improved Webbed suitand players haven’t been able to stop sharing how photorealistic the costume looks, with each screenshot being difficult to tell apart from that of aSpider-Man 2movie still and reigniting demand for a remaster or remake of the licensedSpider-Man 2game.
A Spider-Man 4 Could Be a Gold Mine for Marvel’s Spider-Man 3
Assuming that Insomniac will carry over the Raimi suits once more toMarvel’s Spider-Man 3, it would be phenomenal if aSpider-Man 4was announced.Marvel’s Spider-Manis already a celebratory hub that honors live-actionSpider-Maniterationsand having another Raimi movie added to that confluence would be a wonderful excuse for players to revisit the games while role-playing as Tobey Maguire’s Peter Parker.
Many iconic moments can even be recreated inMarvel’s Spider-Mannow with the immersive aid of these Webbed suits: Spider-Man attempting to halt a runaway train, for instance, much less battling the likes of Doctor Octopus, Sandman, or Venom. It would be terrific if aSpider-Man 4wasreleased and gave even more reason to enjoyMarvel’s Spider-Man, especially ifthe events ofMarvel’s Spider-Man 3created even more parallels for the games and the movies to cherish.
