Spider-Man 2 has already sold 2.5 million copies in its first 24 hours, and the game’s Creative Director is already teasing the potential for Marvel’s Spider-Man 3. During an interview on the Friends Per Second podcast, Bryan Intihar referred to the potential story for Spider-Man 3 as “epic” and likened it to a certain immensely popular MCU film.
While the entire podcast is nearly three hours long, Okami Games on Twitter was kind enough to clip out the specific part of the podcast where Senior Creative Director Bryan Intihar responds to a question about Spider-Man 3:
Spider-Man 2 Creative Director Bryan Intihar teases Spider-Man 3. 👀
"If Spider-Man 1 was like our Iron Man, and Spider-Man 2 was like a Civil War.. where logically do we go from there? I think it would be pretty epic."

When asked about the story potential for Spider-Man 3, Intihar hesitated for a long time before choosing his words very carefully:
If Spider-Man 1 and Miles Morales were like our Iron Man, and Spider-Man 2 was like a Civil War… where logically do we go from there? I think it’d be pretty epic. But, y’know, we’ll see.
Clearly, he’s not at liberty to say much on the topic of a potential sequel, especially given that Spider-Man 2 is still incredibly fresh. That being said, Intihar seems to be implying that Marvel’s Spider-Man 3 could elevate Spider-Man’s story in the same way the stakes were raised in MCU’s Avengers: Infinity War. It wouldn’t be a surprise to see the next game deal with potentially world-ending foes.

In other Spider-Man 2 news, the game will be receiving a New Game Plus sometime before the end of the year. You can check out the nitty gritty details on that here.
Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 is available now exclusively on PS5.
I don’t see why their adding NG+ when nothing is missable and everything can be completed during the post game.
