Exclusive: Unveiling the Star-studded Cast of Marvel's Spider-Man 2

2023 has been an extraordinary year for the gaming industry. Highly anticipated titles such as Dead Space Remake, Resident Evil 4 Remake, Hogwarts Legacy, Diablo 4, Street Fighter 6, and Star Wars Jedi: Survivor have not only met but surpassed expectations in numerous ways. Additionally, The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom may have even received Game Awards trophies well before nominations have been announced. However, this is just the beginning, and after a jam-packed September, Marvel's Spider-Man 2 is about to make a significant impact.

Initially revealed during PlayStation's September 2021 Showcase, Marvel's Spider-Man 2 is the highly anticipated sequel to Insomniac's acclaimed 2018 original game, as well as its semi-sequel/spinoff, Miles Morales. The game once again follows the adventures of both Spider-Men as they confront an array of new threats in the vast landscape of New York City. Despite the limited information available, including only a few confirmed cast members, the excitement among fans for Marvel's Spider-Man 2 has reached an all-time high, especially after an exhilarating deep-dive into the gameplay a few months ago.

Marvel's Spider-Man 2 Complete Cast List So Far

Yuri Lowenthal - Peter Parker/Spider-Man

Nadji Jeter - Miles Morales/Spider-Man

Tony Todd - Venom

Jim Pirri - Kraven the Hunter

Griffin Puatu - Ganke Lee

Andrew Lee - Henry

Krishna Kumar - Vijay

Nathaniel Kweku - Additional Voices

The list for Marvel's Spider-Man 2 currently consists of just eight names. While more actors are expected to join the cast, considering the first game had a massive 91 voice actors, the current roster is more than enough to explore. Yuri Lowenthal is set to reprise his role as Peter Parker/Spider-Man, and his performance in the first game was highly praised for skillfully balancing Spidey's humor with Peter's vulnerability. With the introduction of the Symbiote suit, Lowenthal has the opportunity to showcase his versatility once again.

Joining Lowenthal is Nadji Jeter, returning as Miles Morales/Spider-Man. Jeter's portrayal of Miles in Spider-Man: Miles Morales earned him a BAFTA nomination, making him a perfect choice for the role. He skillfully captures the innocence and strength of a young Spider-Man-in-training, and his previous experience playing Miles in the Disney animated Spider-Man show adds to his expertise. As a result, Jeter is expected to be one of the standout performances in Marvel's Spider-Man 2. Additionally, Griffin Puatu will reprise his role as Ganke, serving as Miles' trusted friend and advisor.

In Marvel's Spider-Man 2, two primary villains have been confirmed. The first is Kraven the Hunter, portrayed by Jim Pirri, a well-known voice actor who has lent his voice to various popular game franchises such as Call of Duty, Diablo, God of War, World of Warcraft, and more. However, the most significant antagonist in the game is Venom, voiced by Tony Todd. Todd, recognized for his portrayal of Candyman in the 1992 film of the same name, is adept at playing intimidating villains, making him a fitting choice for Venom's menacing voice.

Two names on the cast list for Marvel's Spider-Man 2, Henry (played by Andrew Lee) and Vijay (played by Krishna Kumar), remain a mystery for fans as no information about these characters has been revealed yet. It is also uncertain whether Laura Bailey, Mark Rolston, or Darin de Paul will return to reprise their roles as MJ, Norman Osborn, and J. Jonah Jameson respectively, but it is highly likely.

Marvel's Spider-Man 2 launches on October 20 for PlayStation 5.
