WhileMarvel’s Spider-Man 2fans still have a fair bit of waiting to do before the game is in their hands, and before promotional material is releasing frequently, some gamers have made a poster for the sequel. Not only is theirMarvel’s Spider-Man 2creation well-made, but it is also crafted in the style ofUltimate Spider-Man.
Ultimate Spider-Manis one of the most beloved titlesstarring the webslinger. The game was based on the comic series of the same name, which featured a popular, younger version of Peter Parker. It had a unique cel shaded art style that helped it stand out from the many other games based on Spidey, with the title holding up relatively well today because of its unique aesthetic. It also featured Venom in a prominent role, with the Symbiote monster serving as a boss fight and playable character that boasted an entirely different moveset from Peter’s.

While there are plenty of reasons to be excited about the nextMarvel’s Spider-Mangame, it isVenom’s rolethat has significantly added to the hype. With Venom being one of Spidey’s most iconic comic book villains, and the character growing in popularity due to his recent live action movies, it is the perfect time for him to make his debut in the Insomniac series. While it is unclear how similar he will be to theUltimate Spider-Manversion, the fact that he has such a big role inspired Instagram users @vigilantespider and @thespideybugle to create a poster merging the games.
The poster in question perfectly copies a promotional poster forUltimate Spider-Manthat released over 15 years ago. The first adjustment can be seen at the top of the image, as the game’s tagline has been adjusted.Ultimate Spider-Man’s was “be legendary, be predatory, be both,” a nod to Venom’s role as a playable character. The new catchphrase incorporates “be greater” and “be yourself,” the taglines fromMarvel’s Spider-ManandSpider-Man: Miles Moralesrespectively. BothSpider-Man and Venomare swapped out with their PS5 models.
The new poster also features some images from theMarvel’s Spider-Man 2reveal trailer, such as Peter and Miles side by side and the Iron Spider legs being used. A nice touch sees the platforms swapped to feature only the PS5 logo, highlighting the game’s exclusivity, while the Insomniac Games and PlayStation Studios logos replace Activision’s. The release date has also been swapped from 2005 to “coming soon,” showing that theMarvel’s Spider-Manfans behind the poster were careful to think of every possible detail.
With other fan art including acustom cover forMarvel’s Spider-Man 2, creative gamers are clearly doing their best to keep busy. For those that lovedUltimate Spider-Man, though, this clever piece is particularly special.
