At the top of Peter Parker's personal accomplishments I can only imagine are: Saving the world a bunch of times from various supervillains and, in Marvel's Spider-Man 2, solving a Rubik's Cube faster than anyone else.

With Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 just a week away from launch, fans are naturally excited to see what’s in store for the sequel. In a recent interview with Marvel, Insomniac creative director and game director on Spider-Man 2 Bryan Intihar talked about the many challenges that the two Spideys will be facing in their personal lives.
Intihar talked at length about these challenges, which range from Miles struggling to write the perfect application for getting into college and Peter struggling with the death of Aunt May and trying to balance a teaching gig with his full-time superhero work. Intihar says that it is these problems that make Spider-Man one of the most relatable superheroes of all time, and that players will be able to see shades of themselves through the personal struggles of the two superheroes.
“We all talked about: why do we love Spider-Man? I think the thing that we said right from the bat was: he’s probably the most relatable Super Hero out there. He’s not a soldier, like Captain America. He isn’t a god, like Thor. He isn’t a billionaire, like Tony Stark. He’s a kid from Queens and Miles is a kid from Brooklyn. They have good days and bad days and strengths and weaknesses and real problems that we can all identify with and have struggles that we’ve all had in our lives.”
“I think that we try to inject that into every story that we do. So, for example, probably most people in their lives can identify with when I have to apply for college. That’s what Miles is going [through], like, ‘Okay, I’ve got to write this essay, this college essay,’ and he’s struggling with it. Peter, he’s trying to figure out, ‘Okay, I’m going to start this new teaching gig, and I’m trying to figure out living out and I’m taking over Aunt May’s house. How am I going to do it?’ And then taking that next step with—you know, now him and Mary Jane are back together, and what’s their next step in their relationship? Where’s that going?” he added.
“We probably all have those stories. And then not only that, Peter now has his best friend coming back into his life with Harry, and he has his best friend who he grew up with, but then he has Miles. What’s that like? And then with MJ, she’s trying to establish herself and she has a boss who has a very different philosophy.”
“So it’s finding those situations that, ‘Oh, I remember when I went through that!’ or ‘I know somebody close to me that went through that!’ I think that’s where we kind of start,” he explained. “So yeah, we’re going to have crazy characters and Kraven and Lizard and Venom, but what’s the part when they’re not out there? What’s that part?”
“I think that’s the thing, to me, actually, is the thing I… talk about first. If we can get that down, the other stuff is

Marvel's Spider-Man 2's director has addressed the Sandman plothole and there isn't really any reason as to why the villain appeared in both games.
The director of Marvel's Spider-Man 2 has teased something Daredevil-related by telling fans to "stay tuned" when asked about the missing Nelson and Murdock sign.
Spider-Man 2's director, Bryan Intihar, has acknowledged that Sandman's inclusion in the sequel is a bit of a plothole thanks to a collectible that could be found in the first game.
NOTE: There are some spoilers ahead for Marvel’s Spider-Man 2.
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.
Marvel comics, TV shows, and especially movies seem to have a requirement to emphasize the “what’s next” of it all, where the end of everything is also a tease for something else. Well, folks, Insomniac Games took that assignment, ran with it, and took a few extra laps just for good measure.
The Spider-Man IP has shot Insomniac Games into the stratosphere, bringing the studio (and Sony in turn) incredible critical and commercial success. The developer is, of course, far from done with Marvel, because not only will it inevitably make a Marvel’s Spider-Man 3 and potentially even a Venom spinoff, it’s also confirmed to be working on Marvel’s Wolverine.
Insomniac has now confirmed that the upcoming Marvel's Wolverine will take place in the same universe as the studio's Spider-Man games.
Between Peter and Miles, has no shortage of costumes for its heroes to wear. When including the content from its Digital Deluxe Edition and pre-order bonuses, Insomniac's superhero sequel had 39 suits for each hero, with a variety of additional color variations for many of them. While this collection sees some fan-favorite suits from past games returning, many are missing to make way for newer designs.
Tony Todd, the voice actor behind Venom in Marvel's Spider-Man 2, has gotten the Tom Hardy seal of approval.
Spider-Man 2 fans are wondering where the heck Taskmaster is during the events of the campaign, as he can be spotted on Kraven's hunting list but isn't seen or mentioned anywhere else.
