Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 Ending Explained, And How It Sets up Marvel’s Spider-Man 3

Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 tells a packed, eventful, and dramatic story across its runtime of 20-plus hours, and by the time it comes to a close, things has shifted radically for the status quo in Insomniac’s Spider-Man universe.

Key characters have unexpected futures set up for the future, others seem to be gearing up for prominent roles in unexpected ways. Add to that plenty of other teases for what the future might hold, and things are looking quite exciting for Insomniac’s Spider-Man series, and where it might go from here. As such, in this feature, we’re going to talk about Marvel’s Spider-Man 2’s ending and where it leaves the series’ story and world, and how it sets things up for the future.

From a technical standpoint, I can’t believe how well they pulled off a third playable character, even though it was only one small section of the game. I’m all for seeing Venom like that again.

[TheMarine]

I keep seeing this being said but I didn’t read that scene as Peter retired from being spider-man, he’s taking a much needed break to focus on the rest of his life like the foundation & MJ but he’s not done being spider-man permanently, even miles said “go be peter Parker for a while” obviously he’s gonna be spider-man in part 3 with what the after credit scene teases, also venom isn’t an anti hero in any way he’s a villain.

Kraven was Also such a great villain. The man actually got results, and went out fighting fricking VENOM. And that theme😢 godamn. This is my game of the year

I love that Norman wears green in the ending cutscenes, a simple hint. They didn’t even need the G-Serum to be mentioned

[roonilwazlib]

I’m guessing Norman will test the G Serum on himself and then break Otto out of prison after finding that it needs more work or something to give to Harry and that will maybe lead the two of them to work together again. I think Norman will convince Otto that the serum can help him as well. And they’re probably going to need Peter’s blood or something to make it.
I’m pretty sure Carnage and Chameleon are going to end up being DLC.
I also feel that Silk will be the next game similar to Miles Morales and that they’ll set her game up in the dlc they’ll likely be releasing.

[MilkANDMagic]

I'm guessing Silk is most likely going to be introduced more in DLC's and will get her own standalone spin-off game like what Miles got. With Green Goblin pretty much being the next antagonist of the 3rd game. This has me particular worried about Mary Jane. If Norman finds out who Spiderman is from Doc Ock, he will most likely be targeting MJ to make Peter suffer and with Gwen not being around then maybe it might be MJ who dies instead or gravely injured.

[EricMiddleton-vc]

If they do a venom game it will probably be agent venom game playing as flash. He’s the one character they have mentioned in both games and have never showed.

[ThatFont]

Norman knows Miles is a Spider-Man, so I don’t know what that really means for the end of the game. In my game I postponed the final mission and Norman Osborn called Miles and made him promise not to hurt Harry, and ended the call by calling him Spider-Man.

[syednaqvi]

Another insane plot point everyone seems to be missing, is the ending of the spider bot side missions. It directly hints at Miguel and the spider multiverse, and perhaps even the Spider-Man coalition from all the multiverses. If they add that to the final game, it would actually be completely insane! All villains vs all Spider-Man’s!

[WolfMoon]

1:55 if you remember in a point in the game, Dr. Conors did tell Petter even though the Symbiote is off of Peter he said there were some still left inside of Peter and this explains the Anti-Venom suit.
Also explain why Harry is still alive and still hanging on.
Who knows maybe that part of Venom is in Harry but not strong enough to take over and Harry won’t lose control as Venom.

And Kasadey is still out there with his own Symbiote becoming Carnage.
This opens the door for a Venom spin off.

[she-venom]

I wonder if Venom game will be based off Absolute Carnage and King in Black storyline now he got wings he could return to redeem himself he still showed he still saw Peter as friend and he fight God Carnage and stop him from waking Knull up

[TheGreatEmerorMu]

I hope they change Miles' suit....

[chrisbrussell]

Playing as Venom was the highlight of the game for me. I would love a spin off game for him and I really hope they do it

[BloodRobert]

So after the game when u play as Peter, he says "thats enough of a break" so hes not retired, hes just focusing on getting his life together

[atomic-fox]

Part of Silk's canon is the feral / hormonal attraction between her and Peter. They had a blistering physical romance because of it. Not sure how they would handle that aspect now that Miles is in love, and Peter solid with MJ. But yeah, Insomniac, keep Peter and MJ together PLEASE. I'm sick of Marvel's inability to just let them be committed to each other.

[almightysaber]

I Dont think Peter is retiring just a lunch needed break. They are probably coming out with a second mile morales game and they need a reason for Peter to be on the sideline so miles can get his spotlight. The post credit scene for that game will probably set up the main villain for Spider man 3 which could be the green goblin or carnage. (I think carnage is to big of a villain to be dlc.) along with doc ock. Then Peter will join the fight again.

[randomguy]

I really thought they were going to have it that Peter tries to give his anti venom suit to Harry and part of the venom symbiote still left inside of Harry would leave and try to find a new host, and maybe in a weakened state it can’t do all the stuff it did in this game, it’s more single focused instead of being able to infect others and stuff

[ethanwintersseveredhand]

I'd love to see both silk and venom spin offs. I got very excited when I saw silk in the post credits. But I hope silk will be the third playable character rather than replacing peter.

[isaiahgriffith]

Amazing video GamingBolt! I wasn’t quite sure who Cindy Moon was at first but, I recognized the the name. 😅

[nathanbrownlee]

Controversial thought but I think the next game will be the Clone Saga, or at least some weird amalgamation of different versions of the Clone Saga. That the diary Otto has at the end actually details his plan to make clones of Peter.

I think this is the next step in Peter’s story.

The first game firmly establishes him and his role as Spider-Man, the story culminates in him making the ultimate sacrifice, not saving Aunt May to save everyone else.

The second game kinda breaks Peter, the symbiote taking advantage of Peter’s pain. Even going as far as to show that the root of that pain is the loss of Aunt May.

And with how the game ends, I can imagine Peter questioning his role as Spider-Man or even resenting the role, probably thinking that the world doesn’t need him anymore especially because Miles (and maybe even Silk) is around.

I think this will be Peter’s “No More” moment.

Then this all culminates in some good old fashioned Clone nonsense. At the height of Peter feeling like he’s replaceable, his fear and anxiety of being replaceable will be brought to life with a wave of Peter Parker clones raiding the city.

Then boom, he’s back as Spider-Man. He realizes that the world still needs him, and he swings off into the sunset.
