Please be aware that this article contains significant spoilers for Spider-Man 2. It is recommended to return and read it after completing the game.

After completing the main story of Spider-Man 2, players will be treated to a range of scenes that set the stage for Spider-Man 3. Some scenes directly hint at the villains to be featured in the next game, while others subtly indicate future developments in Insomniac's Spider-Man game universe.

In the final scene, players witness Miles Morales preparing for a dinner with his mother and her new partner, Albert Moon. Interestingly, Albert Moon brings along his daughter, Cindy, whose face remains unseen. However, the significance of her presence is implied, as it is the last scene in the game. Despite this, it is likely that individuals who have completed the main story of Spider-Man 2 may be unfamiliar with Cindy Moon.

Spider-Man 2 Cindy Explained

Cindy Moon, also known as Silk, is a superhero recognized by die-hard Spider-Man comic book fans. Like Peter Parker, she gained her spider-based superpowers after being bitten by a radioactive spider. However, Silk's powers surpass Peter's Spider-Sense with a more potent Silk-Sense. Additionally, she possesses organic webs that shoot out naturally from her fingertips, similar to Tobey Maguire's portrayal of Spider-Man in the movies, rather than using lab-made webs.

While Silk has been a prominent figure in Marvel comic books for approximately ten years and has made appearances in various video games, she has not received much attention in mainstream media. Although a version of Cindy without her spider powers appeared in the films Spider-Man: Homecoming and Avengers: Infinity War, her future involvement and potential transformation into Silk in the Marvel Cinematic Universe remains uncertain.

To make Silk more recognizable to casual fans, future film projects will feature her in her own TV series called Silk: Spider Society. Additionally, she will also appear in an upcoming animated Spider-Man movie alongside Spider Woman and Gwen Stacy. Given the increased popularity of Silk, this should greatly benefit the eventual Spider-Man 3. It is evident from the post-credit scene in Spider-Man 2 that Silk is being set up to have a significant role in the next game.

If Silk does appear in Spider-Man 3 as anticipated, it will be intriguing to see the specific role she assumes in the new game. One logical approach would be to make Silk a new playable character. The inclusion of the ability to switch between Peter Parker and Miles Morales in Spider-Man 2 was highly acclaimed, therefore introducing a third character would enhance that concept even further in the next game.

Spider-Man 2 is out now, exclusively for PS5.
