Simply press the ‘triangle’ button on the PS5 controller to have a random chance of making both game characters point at each other, similar to ABC’s animated Spider-Man series.
Carnage is a primary antagonist in the Spider-Man franchise. Even though the red symbiote hasn’t been featured in any game, Insomniac has given a teaser about its entry.
The Crimson Hour side quest inMarvel’s Spider-Man 2requires players to take down a cult. In one of the missions, players can check a book that tells them about a prophecy about the Crimson Hour while a monstrous form of Carnage is depicted on the sides of the pages.

3Into The Spider-Verse
42 Spider Bots are scattered all across New York City. Each contains a reference to a character from Marvel Comics, specifically from the Spider-Man universe. Collecting each of them leads to an interesting cut scene that features Delilah from theSpider-Versemovies and the game also name-drops Miguel O’Hara, popularly known as Spider-Man 2099 in theSpider-Verse.
4Wakanda Forever
While standing in front of the Wakandan Embassy, switch to Miles Morales. You will then see the character do a ‘Wakanda Forever’ gesture with his arms. This isn’t the only reference that connectsMarvel’s Spider-Man 2to Chadwick Boseman’sBlack Panther, though.
One of the story missions features Peter Parker spotting elephant tusks and mentioning how they were bought from Wakanda. Additionally, once players get to level 25, they will unlock the super awesome ‘Forever Suit’ that is inspired by Black Panther designs.
