Fans of both the Spider-Man video game series and the animated film Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse were in for a pleasant surprise recently. Reports have emerged that gameplay footage from Insomniac’s highly anticipated game, Spider-Man 2, was featured in a brief scene during the movie.
The scene in question takes place early in the film when the protagonist, Miles Morales, returns to his dorm room after a confrontation with the villain known as The Spot. Upon entering the room, Miles finds his friend Ganke engrossed in playing a PlayStation 5 game, Marvel’s Spider-Man 2.
