In the recently released story trailer for the upcoming Marvel's Spider-Man 2, fans have noticed an endearing aspect. Peter Parker and Mary Jane Watson can be seen wearing matching outfits, indicating that their relationship is thriving. Despite experiencing difficulties in the previous Marvel's Spider-Man game, Peter and MJ reconciled by the game's conclusion. This dynamic duo, beloved in the world of comic books, has successfully transitioned into movies, video games, and TV adaptations. Although Peter has had diverse romantic interests in the comics and the 2018 game portrayed Black Cat as a former love interest, the connection between MJ and Peter remains a favorite among fans. With their story continuing in Spider-Man 2, an observant fan has recognized a delightful detail about the couple in the recently released story trailer.
The trailer, spotted by Reddit user Massive-Ad3457, showcases a moment where Peter and MJ introduce Harry Osborn to Miles Morales while seemingly wearing matching outfits. This further confirms that their relationship is thriving, as both Peter and MJ are seen sporting white T-shirts, blue jeans, and brown jackets. Although this detail appears only briefly in the trailer, players found it adorable, and many fans appreciate the continuation of Peter and MJ’s relationship in Spider-Man 2.
While the community enjoyed this endearing detail, some fans expressed dissatisfaction with MJ’s character model shown in the trailer and claimed that Insomniac had made changes. This reminded fans of the controversy surrounding the alteration of Peter’s character model in the PS5’s Spider-Man Remastered edition. However, Insomniac refuted these claims, stating that MJ has the same voice actress and character model in Spider-Man 2. The developer emphasized that any differences in the character’s appearance were a result of improved face-scanning technology and MJ’s new hairstyle.
Spider-Man 2 will finally introduce Harry Osborn to the story. With the confirmation of Venom as a villain in the sequel, fans speculated that Harry could potentially be the character. This speculation was seemingly confirmed through a recent event where the theme for Spider-Man 2 was released, featuring a video showing Harry with Symbiote tendrils on his arms. Marvel's Spider-Man 2 will be launching exclusively for PlayStation 5 on October 20.
