Insomniac's upcoming Spider-Man game may already boast a formidable cast of characters, but that doesn't mean they should stop with what they have so far.
Surprise reveals are sure to pop up in the title anyway, which means that there'll be villains that haven't been announced as of yet. Given Spidey has such an impressive gallery of rogues, that shouldn't come as such a surprise. The likes of Green Goblin, Doctor Octopus and Sandman are all yet to be confirmed in the title, and with Insomniac already assembling their own version of the Sinister Six - with the final member having potentially been teased at the end of the E3 demo - there's one at least who's set to play a big part in the story.
Then there are the side missions, which are likely to include some key names from the wall-crawler's comics. The likes of Taskmaster and Black Cat are both confirmed to appear in those areas (the latter is set to feature in the first of the game's DLC), but details on other potential appearances have been kept quiet - presumably because some big names are likely to appear.
But which of Spidey's most sinister adversaries could they include next?
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.
