Marvel’s Spider-Man 2voice actor Tony Todd may have let the upcoming game’s release window slip yesterday, but he has since been trying to downplay this revelation. Ever since the initialMarvel’s Spider-Man 2trailer was released back in 2021, fans have been eagerly awaiting new information about Insomniac’s next open-world superhero epic. WithSpider-Man 2set to swing onto the PlayStation 5 later this year, the biggest question on everyone’s mind has been when exactly they can expect to don the iconic masks of Peter Parker and Miles Morales once more.
Insomniac has previously announced thatMarvel’s Spider-Man 2will launch sometime this fall, but it wouldn’t be until earlier this week that an exact release month was named. Horror movie veteran Tony Todd, who will voicethe terrifying Venom inSpider-Man 2, recently let it slip on social media thatSpider-Man 2could launch in September after a major media push in August. This wasn’t the first time that theCandymanstar has shared information aboutMarvel’s Spider-Man 2, as Todd previously teased the scale of the game and Venom’s brutality as he presumably seeks revenge against the two playable Spider-Men.

However, it appears that Tony Todd is now trying to retract his statements regardingMarvel’s Spider-Man 2’s potential release date.Shortly after his initial leak, Todd released a few more cryptic Twitter posts that dismiss his claims as the result of jet lag or even an imposter briefly taking control of his account. In either case, he advised fans not to expect any more surprise tidbits aboutMarvel’s Spider-Man 2for the time being. Of course, some fans believe that this sudden about-face adds credence to Todd’s previous reveal aboutSpider-Man 2coming out in September - though nothing official has been confirmed yet.
Marketing forMarvel’s Spider-Man 2has already started to pick up in recent months, withInsomniac releasing a brief new teaserfor the game on social media in January and a webbed-up car appearing in Malaysia as part of Sony’s “Live from PlayStation” ad campaign. Many fans believe that Sony is saving the official reveal ofMarvel’s Spider-Man 2’s release datefor its next PlayStation Showcase livestream - which would be fitting given that the game itself was announced at such an event two years ago.
Tony Todd’s accidental leak ofMarvel’s Spider-Man 2’s alleged fall releasemight cause Sony to reveal this launch date sooner, though it might just as likely ignore the situation in hopes that fans will forget about the leak. It looks like Tony Todd wants fans to forget it too, and only time will tell if his claims were accurate in the first place.
Marvel’s Spider-Man 2is scheduled to release in 2023 on PS5.
