Spider-Man 3 Could Include a Major Spider-Verse Character
While official announcements about Marvel’s Spider-Man 3 are still limited, rumors circulating behind the scenes are already generating excitement among fans. Rumors that a surprise character from the Spider-Verse will appear in the game have further fueled anticipation.
Spider-Man 3: Spider-Verse Rumors
One of the most notable rumors about Marvel’s Spider-Man 3 is that the game will feature Miguel O’Hara, known as Spider-Man 2099. This character, who first appeared in comics in the 1990s, has recently seen a resurgence in popularity thanks to the Spider-Verse animated films. Reportedly, Insomniac Games plans to bring this character to the third installment, adding a unique dimension to the series.
A report by MP1st suggests that Spider-Man 2099 is more likely to appear directly in Spider-Man 3, rather than in the Venom game. It’s not yet clear what his role will be, but whether the character will be incorporated into the main story or a side-quest remains to be seen. It’s rumored that a broader story universe could be established, particularly with the inclusion of Silk, a character hinted at in the second game.
Given that the Spider-Verse side-quest in Spider-Man 2 concluded without much depth, it seems likely that this theme will be explored more extensively in the third game. The inclusion of Miguel O’Hara could be a significant step in expanding the multiverse theme and offering fans a unique experience. This suggests that the series will not only be a classic sequel, but also one that expands its universe.
However, it’s important to note that these claims have not yet received official confirmation. There’s always the possibility that Insomniac Games could change its plans. However, Spider-Man 2099’s past playability in games like Shattered Dimensions and Edge of Time reinforces the idea that the character could make a cameo appearance in the third installment. This possibility is further bolstered by the fact that he will play a prominent role in the 2027 film Beyond the Spider-Verse.
