Marvel's Avengers: 10 Heroes The Game MUST Include
2. Spider-Man

Above all other characters, this is the one that would potentially get True Believers the most excited.
Not only would Spider-Man's presence confirm speculation that Marvel's Avengers is connected to Spider-Man PS4 and in turn further flesh out Marvel's self-proclaimed 'Gamerverse', it would add Marvel's most popular hero to the roster; only Wolverine could stake a claim to being almost as adored.
Popularity aside, the benefits of including everyone's favourite web-slinger in to Marvel's Avengers sort of go without saying. His webs open up a vast array of gameplay possibilities, as has been illustrated time and again in his various games, while Yuri Lowenthal's performance in Spider-Man PS4 more than illustrated he'd be able to go toe-to-toe with Earth's Mightiest Heroes.
The only potential stick in the mud with Spidey coming to the Avengers would be his exclusivity with PlayStation, but maybe that's the planned exclusive content coming to the PS4 anyway? Only time will tell.
WhatCulture's very own resident movie guy, Ewan has been working in the content creation biz for over 10 years now, having started as a freelance contributor to WhatCulture Gaming all the way back in 2015. After graduating with a First-Class Honours in History from Northumbria University in 2017 (where he won a prize for a totally killer dissertation on the Watergate years), Ewan took on the role of Comics Editor at WhatCulture and quickly developed WhatCulture Comics into one of the biggest superhero-focused channels on YouTube. He followed this with a brief hiatus at Screen Rant in 2021, where he worked across the Gaming and Film sections as a writer and editor, before returning to WhatCulture as a Senior Content Producer / Presenter in 2023. He started his own podcast, We Love Dad Movies, in 2022, and has contributed several written pieces to the Eisner-nominated comics website Shelfdust as well.
In his current role, Ewan incorporates his love of cinema, comic books, and history into written pieces and video essays for WhatCulture's Film & TV channel, as well as WhatCulture Gaming and WhatCulture Horror, with a particular focus on nineties-era Dad Movies, old school Westerns, and Golden Age Hollywood Noir. John Carpenter is his fave, and he thinks Batman Beyond should never have been cancelled. If that's your vibe, you'll probably like his stuff.
