Marvel Spider-Man 2's Venom actor gets the Tom Hardy seal of approval: "Legend"

As the clock struck one minute past midnight on Thursday November 9, the 118-day SAG-AFTRA strike officially ended, meaning films such as Deadpool 3, Gladiator 2, and Beetlejuice 2 will all now head back into production.

Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 is a hit with players. Insomniac Games did an exceptional job making the sequel as good, if not better, than the previous game. The design of New York’s surroundings is immersive and great swing and glide through. There are great new characters and an exciting storyline. Players, however, noticed a peculiar omission in a game scene.

The Bikeriders director Jeff Nichols didn't take much convincing to cast Austin Butler in his '60s-set motorcycle gang drama – in fact, the trailer for Elvis was all he needed to make up his mind. 

When it comes to cinematic cool, it’s hard to beat a leather jacket and a motorcycle. Think Marlon Brando in The Wild One. Arnie in Terminator 2: Judgment Day. Lisbeth Salander in The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo.

Marvel's Spider-Man 2 is full of easter eggs, though one in particular stood out for fans. A plaque mentioning the Nelson and Murdock law firm was found in the first installment somewhere in Hell's Kitchen; in this sequel, the plaque is still there, but the Nelson and Murdock text is gone, hinting at a possible relocation of their office.

The developer of , CD Projekt RED, announced that the recently released DLC will be the game's only expansion, and the studio is now directing their attention towards a full-length sequel, tentatively known as. While and the DLC did feature a few A-list cast members, the vast majority of the game's vocal talents were provided by dedicated voice actors. Though this is a refreshing change from the incredible over-saturation of celebrities in media being employed over voice actors, there are a few incredibly well-known names that would make for perfect additions to a sequel.

Having finished Marvel's Spider-Man 2, Tamoor and Lucy sit down with the game's senior creative director to discuss how the story came together and dissect everything about the ending.

Marvel's Spider-Man 2 is now available on PS5, and the game's Venom-centric story puts the symbiote in the spotlight with a brand new host who's never been Venom in comics. And now, Insomniac narrative director Ben Arfmann has opened up about why they went with a new Venom host, and why they picked the character who bonds with the symbiote in the game.

Despite passionate romances, a little bit of body horror, and plenty of scares (Doc Ock’s surgery scene in Raimi’s Spider-Man 2, anyone?), Spider-Man has generally been a family-friendly superhero franchise. Peter Parker certainly has an “Aw, shucks” energy to him, and the Spider gang is usually made up of young people trying to make their way in the world (or high school, or college). The games also go to great lengths to show you the goons you fight are ultimately unharmed — throw (or kick) someone off a building, and they will automatically get webbed to a nearby surface on their way down.

Insomniac Games has apologized for a Marvel's Spider-Man 2 mix-up that saw a Cuban flag hung up in Miles Morales's room instead of a Puerto Rican one.

Tom Hardy is a household name – but it wasn’t always that way. The fresh-faced actor appeared opposite Patrick Stewart in 2002’s much-maligned Star Trek: Nemesis and, according to Stewart’s latest memoir, rubbed the Picard actor up the wrong way.
