Peter Parker and Miles Morales had a heck of a time tackling Venom in Marvel's Spider-Man 2, but judging by cut content that's recently come to light, they got off lightly.

You'd think considering the length of time Marvel has been a massive success - both before the MCU was even a thing and after it launched the franchise into the stratosphere - that pretty much every toy and collectible on the market would have teamed up with the creators of Earth's Mightiest Heroes by now, but no. Well, not until now. Youtooz, collectible figures modeled after countless iconic characters, previously didn't have any Marvel characters on its roster, but that changes today.
Youtooz revealed it has teamed up with Marvel to create five Spider-Man figures, and now those figures are available to buy. The quintet of webslingers was shown off in a very cool video you can check out below, bringing the Youtooz to life and detailing the comic books each of the Spideys comes from. The two Amazing Spider-Man figures are the ones most synonymous with the character, the first figure listed based on the hero's design from his very first appearance.
Peter Parker's Spider-Man isn't the only variant to have received the Youtooz treatment. Miles Morales is getting a Youtooz figure too. Morales's figure is perched on a stack of CRT TV sets, his eyes designed to look like the screens on which he's sitting. Also a part of the collection is Spider-Man 2099. Gaining more notoriety since his appearance in Across The Spider-Verse, odds are this one will be just as popular as the Peter and Miles figures considering the success of the sequel and anticipation for the third movie.
Last but not least is the Web of Spider-Man Youtooz figure. Perhaps the most relevant figure of the five right now since, even though it isn't directly connected to Marvel's Spider-Man 2, the figure looks a lot like Insomniac's Spidey when he is struggling to tear himself away from the symbiote bonded to him. Pre-orders for all five Youtooz are live, both through the Youtooz site and Entertainment Earth, but figures won't ship until May 2024.
At $39.99 each, it will also cost you quite a bit should you want to own all five. Each of them is listed as "limited edition" too, so no telling how long they will actually be available. Hopefully, this is just the beginning of a fruitful partnership between Marvel and Youtooz, though. It seems likely these figures will sell well, and I'd hazard to guess there are already plans for more characters to get the Youtooz treatment in the future. Why should Funko have all the fun after all?
Peter Parker and Miles Morales had a heck of a time tackling Venom in Marvel's Spider-Man 2, but judging by cut content that's recently come to light, they got off lightly.
There’s no Spider-Man movie like No Way Home, which is probably why it’s taking so long for Spider-Man 4 to get off the ground.
According to new leaks, Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 originally had several symbiote bosses and even some plot points that were cut from the game before its release last year. The sequel to Insomniac Games’ hit superhero game launched to rave reviews and massive support from fans in October and players are still enjoying the title and discussing the franchise. Observers are already speculating about possible Peter Parker storylines for Spider-Man 3, and plenty of gamers are already waiting for DLC for the current entry.
An unofficial Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 PC port derived from materials leaked in the recent Insomniac data breach is being scrapped. After two years of hype and eager anticipation, Spider-Man 2 finally launched on the PlayStation 5 to rave reviews in October. While it didn’t take home any honors at The Game Awards 2023, Spider-Man 2 was still well-regarded for updating the open-world gameplay formula of its predecessors and quickly became one of Insomniac’s highest-selling video games.
You know the phrase, “This is why we can’t have anything nice?” Well, that’s the feeling many game developers have felt over the last several years because hackers have come in and tried to ruin things for them in one form or another. You might recall when Rockstar Games was hacked, and alpha-based videos of their upcoming title hit the internet, causing all sorts of backlash when it did. Then, late last year, Insomniac Games was the latest victim of a hack, where a whole bunch of data was revealed about Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 and future games they might be producing.
Marvel’s Spider-Man is one of the big heavy hitters for the Sony PlayStation platforms. PlayStation 4 saw the release of the first installment from Insomniac Games. It was such a big hit that it didn’t take long before they released Marvel’s Spider-Man: Miles Morales. Then, fast forward a bit, and we saw the official Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 launch into the marketplace. That had quite a few fans eager to pick up a PlayStation 5 console alone to experience this game. Unfortunately, the famed development studio that brought these games out was recently hit with a ransomware attack.
With multiple rumors that the MCU’s event is coming our way, fans wish to unearth every detail about its potential development. Will Phase 5 or 6 feature another movie like Captain America: Civil War? Is the event going to be in? Here’s all you need to know.
An unofficial PC port for Marvel's Spider-Man 2 has been shared online, well, it was until it quickly got removed.
One Spider-Man villain who hasn't been seen in a few years may be about to make a flashy re-entrance with What If...? season 3. Nobody's ever truly gone in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, which is sure to make life insurance complicated. But it also allows for some surprise returns like (potentially) this, much to the delight of fans.
The development of the unofficial Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 PC port has ceased for the foreseeable future, and it is very unlikely ever to see the light of day.
The final movie of Sony's animated Spider-Verse trilogy, Spider-Man: Beyond the Spider-Verse is still majorly under wraps with no official plotline or cast list, so much so star Jake Johnson is uncertain whether or not his character Peter B. Parker will even appear in the third installment.
Warning: Spoilers ahead for Marvel's Spider-Man 2.Spider-Man 2 fans would love for Marvel’s Venom to have a traversal feature involving Venom’s wings. It’s a feature that would be unlike anything players have seen in Insomniac’s Spider-Man series thus far, as even web wings could not compete with actual flight.
