PlayStation Spider-Man Face Actor Deletes Post Implying ‘Spider-Man 3’ Performance Capture

by

Gamers are buzzing about the possibility of a third Spider-Man game for PlayStation, after a recent social media post hinted at its development, though neither Sony nor Insomniac Games has officially confirmed anything.

Ben Jordan, who served as the model for Peter Parker’s face in Insomniac’s Spider-Man games, posted a potential behind-the-scenes photo on Monday. The picture shows him wearing motion capture equipment, posing as if shooting a web. He captioned the post with the phrase “IYKYK” (If You Know, You Know) and a spider emoji.

A possible hint about Insomniac Games’ upcoming Spider-Man 3 surfaced online when Ben Jordan shared a motion-capture photo with a knowing caption and a spider emoji. 👀

The post was taken down quickly, but as often happens online, it had already been shared enough that copies remained.

What This Could Mean

As a huge fan of the Spider-Man games, I have to say Ben Jordan has become Peter Parker for a lot of us. Seeing his recent photos has got me thinking – could Spider-Man 3 actually be in the works for PlayStation? Some people are even suggesting it could be a major launch title for their next console. It’s exciting to think about!

Sony typically releases new PlayStation consoles every seven years, and with the PlayStation 5 launching in 2020, a next-generation console appearing around the time of Spider-Man 3 is a possibility. However, since Sony hasn’t announced anything about a PlayStation 6, this is currently just speculation.

Insomniac Games is working on a Wolverine game, and some people think this could lead to a team-up with Spider-Man. However, since Wolverine is expected to come out soon, it’s probably too late to film new scenes with Spider-Man. While Spider-Man could still appear, any involvement from Peter Parker would have likely been filmed a long time ago.

Overall, the doubts about what’s happening with current projects are part of a larger discussion about where the series is going and how audiences are reacting to it.

Franchise Direction and Debate

The game Spider-Man 2 came out on PlayStation 5 in 2023 and was mostly praised by reviewers. However, some critics felt the story and characters leaned too heavily into progressive ideas. Others noted that the game focused more on the character Miles Morales than on Peter Parker. These criticisms have often been connected to Insomniac Games working with Sweet Baby Inc., a company that specializes in narrative design and inclusivity.

As a huge Spider-Man fan, I was really excited to hear from Insomniac that Miles Morales will be the main Spider-Man in their games from now on. And with rumors swirling about Spider-Man 3 being in the works – and Ben Jordan potentially involved – a recent image he shared has got me thinking. It could hint at a bigger story that might still include Peter Parker, maybe not as the lead, but definitely with a role to play. It’s a cool possibility, and I’m hoping we get to see both Spider-Men team up!

What Comes Next

A new Spider-Man game, potentially titled Spider-Man 3, is generating a lot of excitement. Right now, discussions are based more on speculation than official announcements. A quickly removed online post has been enough to start conversations about what the next game might be like, including when it could be released and what story it might tell.

This reaction shows how carefully fans are looking for hints, and how fast rumors spread when official information is missing. Without clear details from Sony or Insomniac, the image is simply a small piece of the puzzle, open to interpretation, and a sign that game stories often start developing well before any official announcement.
