Spider-Man PS4: 7 Theories On THAT Mystery Character
4. Venom
Marvel Comics
There are few Spidey characters as revered as Venom, so it's understandable as to why fans have predicted that he'll be the game's actual big bad.
Though the signs at the end of the trailer point to someone else, with the light shining in Spidey's eyes perhaps illustrating a villain with a more technological focus, fans have honed in on a 'web-like' noise moments before the reveal. Could it be Venom? Carnage perhaps? Either way, Insomniac have remained coy over the potential inclusion of any symbiote at this stage, let alone two of Spidey's most notorious adversaries.
That's not to say they wouldn't be appreciated of course, and with Insomniac more than aware of Venom's unique status among web-heads everywhere, no one should be ruling out an appearance just yet.
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.
