For context, Venom began as the former in the original comics, but his popularity with fans saw him become more sympathetic, just fighting crime in a more violent fashion than other heroes.īased on what little dialogue he’s had so far, it’s likely that Venom will be trying to achieve Harry’s goals of helping the world, but in such an extreme way that it forces Peter and Miles to fight him. There’s also the matter of whether Venom will be a straight-up villain or an anti-hero. After all, in the first game, the room Harry was contained in also had a radioactive spider, which went on to bite Miles and give him superpowers. Venom’s spider powers and symbol could then be a result of further experimentation with spiders. Perhaps Venom isn’t the only symbiote around or the symbiote used to cure Harry split itself in half, allowing a portion of it to infect Peter while the rest remains with Harry. Spider-Man 2 – some had theorised Peter and Venom would be one and the same, but this key artwork seems to disprove that (Picture: Sony) This would explain why Venom would have the white spider symbol and Spider-Man’s powers since that’s how it happened in the comics. If he’s running around wearing it, then how can Harry, or anyone else for that matter, be Venom at the same time?Īn obvious answer is that the black suit is temporary, and Peter will lose or get rid of it, leading to it infecting Harry and turning him into Venom.

Or perhaps things won’t be that simple.Īfter all, a core part of the sequel’s gameplay will be Peter’s symbiote suit, which grants him new abilities.

It’s possible they want to leave some room for doubt, especially for any new players who haven’t touched either the first game or the Miles Morales one. Despite how obvious it is, though, Insomniac has yet to officially confirm who is the human host for Venom. Harry was bonded to the symbiote and as he looks out over the night-time city, Venom is heard repeating Harry’s ‘We’re going to heal the world’ line. The most pressing question about the game’s story is whether Harry will turn into Venom, who is seen at the end of the trailer attacking what seems to be one of Kraven’s copters.Īt the moment, all signs point to yes.

Whether his plans also involve the symbiote is another question entirely.

One shot sees Peter and Norman talking while the symbiote floats behind him, but it’s not clear whether Harry already knew about it or if this is during a scene where he learns of its existence.Īt the very least, his friendship with Peter looks to play an important part, as he talks about wanting to ‘heal the world,’ something he needs Peter’s help with. Then again, it’s not entirely clear how much he knows about his cure and it’s possible Norman has kept him in the dark regarding the symbiote’s involvement. While we very much doubt he’ll come clean about everything to Peter, his ‘It’s a miracle I’m even sitting here’ line and talk of a ‘second chance’ suggests he’ll at least admit to Peter he was ill and has been successfully cured. However, the post-credits scene revealed he was extremely ill, and his dad is using what’s blatantly the Venom symbiote to keep him alive. In the 2018 original, Harry was otherwise absent and believed to be overseas. Right off the gate, the trailer reveals that Harry Osborn, son of Norman Osborn and Peter’s best friend, will be playing a bigger role in the game.
