With all the complications surrounding Harry and the Symbiote, Oscorp’s failures in Marvel’s Spider-Man, and that game itself having included more than a few not-so-subtle Green Goblin secrets, all the pieces are in place for Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 to bring Green Goblin into the fray. And as one of the biggest and most important villains in Spider-Man history, Green Goblin just has to show up at some point in Insomniac’s universe as well. Even so, in Insomniac’s universe, he still hasn’t become the Green Goblin yet, even though Peter has been Spider-Man for over eight years at this point. Norman Osborn was a crucial part of Marvel’s Spider-Man’s story, and he was a pretty shady guy in the game, to say the very least. Seeing Venom in action will be amazing, of course, but we also hope to see Harry in the flesh and interact with Peter and MJ, and reveal some of the many, many mysteries that his past is shrouded in even now. Regardless of whether or not that’s the case though, we’re really curious to learn more about Harry himself.

And once you’ve made the obvious conclusion, the first assumption you arrive at is that Harry Osborn, not Eddie Brock, is going to be Venom in Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 (which has actually happened in the Spider-Man universe before, so it wouldn’t be the first time). The post-credits scenes in both games so far have shown that Norman Osborne used the Symbiote to keep Harry alive, who, contrary to what Peter and MJ believed, was never in Europe at all. Let’s start with the most obvious choice. And here, we’re going to do a little bit of theorizing and speculating and talk about some other major characters that might have a role to play in the game. That, of course, means that even though Insomniac have revealed that Kraven the Hunter and Venom are in the game, they’ve only just started scratching the surface. Those are two huge names, of course, and any Spidey fan is going to be over the moon about their inclusion in the upcoming sequel, but Spider-Man as a property has a long, rich, and deep history full of excellent villains and characters, and if Marvel’s Spider-Man and Marvel’s Spider-Man: Miles Morales were any indication, Insomniac absolutely loves diving into that goldmine and using those characters in their own stories in really interesting ways.

Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 is still at least a couple of years away, but the game’s brief reveal trailer still revealed a surprising amount, with major villains such as Kraven the Hunter and Venom both being confirmed for the game.
