Fans of the Spider-Man video games from Insomniac already have a bit of a history of being weird about unimportant, minute details in the games. This tendancy almost reared its ugly head again this week after a new Spider-Man 2 trailer debuted at Comic-Con, as fans were convinced that Insomniac had done something drastic to change Mary Jane’s face from the original game.
No, they didn’t. It’s the same face, same model, same actress. Everyone calm down!
The issue was addressed on Twitter today by Insomniac director, community and marketing, James Stevenson, who confirmed to multiple people that MJ remains unchanged. Her haircut is different in the sequel, and it’s entirely possible that improved face scanning tech has made her model more accurate, but it’s the same face.
The good news is, everyone seems to be taking the correction in stride. A thread on the SpidermanPS4 subreddit has community members largely responding positively to the news, with one especially active reply thread jovially mocking the community by suggesting “People don’t realize they would absolutely fall for Clark Kent’s ‘disguse.'” They’re not wrong!
Whatever you think of everyone’s faces, the new Spider-Man 2 trailer that appeared at Comic-Con yesterday was pretty darn cool. We got a closer look at Venom, probably know who his host is this time, spotted a very niche villain reference, learned what J. Jonah Jameson is up to, and got a first look at this gorgeous new Spider-Man 2-themed PS5 and DualSense controller.
