Is Harry Osborn Going to Take the Role of Venom in Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 

Almost everybody knows that Venom is the main antagonist in Marvel’s Spider-Man 2. But one thing we know so far is that this time Eddie Brock won’t be harnessing the symbiote in this game. While not much is known as to who will play Venom many fans are drawing speculations.

In the trailer of the game, we see that Peter Parker gets the symbiote suit in the game. But when it comes to who is the main villain in the game, it seems no one knows who it is yet. While there are speculations, it will only be confirmed on the game’s launch.

Everything hints Harry Osborn to play Venom in Spider-Man 2

THE INDUSTRY BABY, a reliable source of Spider-Man leaks recently hinted that Harry Osborn will be Venom in the new game. While this has been a common speculation, there are other factors that make people believe this is true. During the 2021 PlayStation Showcase, Insomniac confirmed that Peter Parker and Miles Morales would face Venom. Venom is the primary antagonist in Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 alongside Kraven the Hunter. However, the identity of Venom’s human host remained a mystery, despite fans strongly believing it to be Harry Osborn.

Insomniac unveiled new footage that strongly suggests Harry Osborn is Venom in Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 at The Game Awards 10-Year Concert. This ignited speculation and excitement among fans. In a cutscene at the end of the first Marvel Spider-Man game, Norman Osborn is seen walking into a secret lab where Harry is kept in an incubator with the Symbiote. At the end of Marvel’s Spider-Man & Miles Morales, there is another cut scene of Harry. In this cutscene, players get to see the game from Harry’s POV while being in the incubator tank. This implies his significant role in the upcoming game.

Director Bryan Intihar of Spider-Man 2 lent further support to this theory by explicitly stating that Eddie Brock would not be part of the game. The Game Awards 10-Year Concert featured a video showcasing the main theme for Marvel’s Spider-Man 2. This pushed the notion that Harry Osborn might be Venom, though it didn’t offer outright confirmation.

Diving deep into the Venom speculation

In the new gameplay trailer for Spider-Man 2, fans get to see Peter Parker wearing the symbiote suit while pursuing Lizard. This suggests the Venom symbiote makes its way to a few characters before finally settling in with the host of Venom. It is still unknown when the Symbiote gets in contact with Harry Osborn.

Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 will introduce Kraven the Hunter as another antagonist. From the trailers, it’s unclear how important the role of Kraven will be in the upcoming game. There are speculations that the Hunter will have more influence towards the start of the game while Venom takes the spotlight as the main boss battle. This situation is being speculated on account of fans getting to see this trend before, where players encountered Mr. Negative before they took on Doctor Octopus in the earlier game.
