Yeah lol. Her podcast is really fun, especially when played next to JJJ's show
Assuming that Insomniac goes for Gwen Stacy next in their Spider-Man universe, who should voice her?
- Thread starter Neoxon
- Start date
Here I was thinking Laura Bailey is overused af already, yet in here people want her to play MJ and Gwen Stacey.
I mean it really isn't weird. This is its own thing, and it's a comic book game. Literally anything is possible.
I think she's really talented, as long as she plays white characters I don't have an issue with it really. But I do understand that having more opportunities for lesser known voice actors would do wonders.
Spider-Man has a billion supervillains, let the guy have some backup!
i think the way they introduced Miles in the games was great. Peter can fill out the mentor role and grow from there, it's a unique dynamic since he's been fighting crime alone for 8 years.
I sort of get you but I totally disagree. Remember that Spidey isn't even the only super hero in this universe. And Spider-man's whole idea was never for him to be special, on the contrary, it's that everyone should feel like they could be Spider-Man/Woman.
I wonder if Jstevenson read these threads lol
I read her comics with Laura Bailey's voice in my head, but since she already plays MJ, that's a no go.
Her VA from MUA3 did a good job, so I'd say her. Especially since Miles' VA reprised his role in MUA3 before Insomniac even made his game.

Someone new, easily. I think Insomniac's characters are their own and they don't want to use previous actors for the same roles

But Miles' VA was already in the PS4 game prior to MUA3.
*points at Nadji Jeter*
Yep, I agree. Pete gets the symbiote suit in SM2, Gwen gets her symbiote at the end of that game, and then you build upon the symbiote powers from SM2 in her solo game so that they can stick around for SM3.
That's what I meant, his VA from the PS4 game then reprised his role in MUA3 before the Miles game came out.
In the comics there are about 6 or so(is Kaine alive?). in the main universe not counting time travel.As much as I like a lot of them but believe there are too many spider people in the 616, it mostly works because they don't all have books and just come back every once in a while.
That reminds me do they also call him Spiderman or is his hero name something else?
Thank you.
Also, is Gwen alive? I thought this took place in a late-state canon, albeit a new canon from the comics or any of the TV shows.
But a Gwen would be nice.
I'll admit though, while I don't really mind following Peter I feel like Miles Morales paved the way for a better protagonist in this canon. Peter was fucking boring in the first game. He's overly concerned, overly safe, and he doesn't have a lot of actual flaws. They try hard to display sympathy and struggle by having him ruminate over meakly things while swinging about, but not by way of something seen in the Sam Raimi films that was effective, like wrongly thinking he's supposed to be a hero and miss out on relationships, or getting too much fame.
Morales was cool because he has yet to learn what being a Spider-Man entails, so you see him do kind of reckless things where he enjoys the coolness of his powers, and that has a bigger potential to cause character growth than having Peter dwell on old well-established relationships, or putting his loved ones in danger (yet again).
I did not feel much when Aunt May died. It was sad, but that entire part of the story just felt forced to me. You could feel them trying so hard to make an emotional finale to the game by having Oc scream "Peeeeteeeeeer!" and having a big loss where Peter cries. It was forced.
Gwen wasn't mentioned at all in 2018, so it seems like wanted to leave that open on purpose.
I get what you mean about Peter's character, but they wanted to play it safe. With Harry coming into the picture, I think that will add way more to him on an interpersonal level.
IMO they tried to do way too many story threads for a single game, but then again, Marvel Games is involved and I imagine, like Marvel Studios, they run an apparatus where they plan all kinds of "long-game" ideas. I strongly dislike MCU but I think thanks to Insomniac I liked Spider-Man more than I usually like those productions. But I also got a feeling that Insomniac were building to some sort of "Marvel plan" because it has that convoluted "out-of-game" reaching feel that those movies did.
Like Yuoke said, Gwen wasn't mentioned once in the first game. Pretty much every character tied to Peter or Spidey was either mentionned or referenced somewhere except for Gwen and her father, which is really odd.
Also, there was this tweet :
Yea, tweet all but confirms what they are doing.
Unless they were planning on a Spider-Man 3 love triangle....which please no.
This is the way I see it happening as well. Gwen getting the symbiote would make an easy transition into her solo adventure if that's the direction they choose to go.
In Miles they just called him Spider-Man.
They call him Spider-Man for the most part, but they do occasionally call him "the other Spider-Man", or in Roxxon guy's case, "Kid Spider", which is a cheeky reference to what I believe is his name in one of the cartoons.
They should go with Dove Cameron. She's both familiar with the character and have plenty of acting experience.
Except both Peter and Miles actors have voiced their characters many times before.

They did get a returning actor for Miles Morales (Nadji Jeter, who first voiced Miles in the 2017 Spider-Man cartoon), so it's not impossible.
Can't wait to swing through the streets of Kamurocho and hunt down Mr. Libido.
If so I'm hopeful. My guess is we'll have Spider-Gwen in a third game, but honestly, I just want Gwen to be great, cool, and the main love interest :P
I was always more invested in Gwen and Peter's relationship in the Spectacular Spider-Man Cartoon and those mediocre Marc Webb movies than I was about Mary Jane in the other canons. And every reboot is a opportunity to change the rules on the mythology.
Then it did its job. I got too distracted by how weak the overarching narrative around it was.
I would love a Gwen game. Honestly all I can think of with this questions is "as long as it isn't Ashley Burch" 😅
As for the Tokyo "rumour" I would love that too. I think it's definitely a good approach to change cities between mainline games just to keep the exploration aspects fresh. Or at least change timelines. 2099 cityscape would obviously look pretty unique too. But I think there is a serious risk of fatigue if every Spider-Man going forward is set in NY. Miles at least made it wintery but I feel like it's already hit its limit.
Same. First game ever to do so too...and it was a fucking Spider-Man game...I was pretty surprised by that. Such good performances.

Emma Stone has an Oscar, she's not doing game VA any time soon lol
