What Could Be Black Cat’s Role in Marvel’s Spider-Man 2?

The highly-awaited Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 is just around the corner and fans cannot wait to experience the game that’s been hyped as the ‘biggest superhero’ adventure of all time. Unarguably, the lineup of characters that are set to feature in the forthcoming Insomniac project only stands up to the claims of Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 being the ultimate comic-book carnival. Among all these characters, Black Cat is another interesting point of speculation. Well, the hot-running theories suggest Black Cat might be having a significant role in the upcoming giant. 

The developers have successfully kept all these characters and their significance in the story under the sheets. The mystery built around these characters has not only added to the excitement but has fueled various fan theories about the plot. Black Cat is one major contributor to the theories. While there is little to no official information on the character, fans have made some plausible predictions. So, here are some speculated answers to the query of ‘Black Cat in Marvel’s Spider-Man 2.’

Black Cat to accompany Peter for a mission in Marvel’s Spider-Man 2? 

Although Black Cat had little to no screen time in 2018’s Spider-Man, the character played a much more significant role in its DLC. It was only after the DLC that the webheads couldn’t stop asking for more of Black Cat. Not just as a character and her skills, but the sizzling chemistry she had with Peter Parker during the DLC made the fans look forward to catching more of her in the sequel. Thus, when the rumors of Black Cat making an appearance in Spider-Man 2 began, fans were invested. 

However, all the official glimpses of the title haven’t pitched Black Cat as the top tier of appearances in the game. So, the debate of her even being in the game also garnered a lot of gamers’ attention. On the contrary, a character that appreciated in its last appearance not making a comeback in the star-studded sequel seems like a long stretch. Also, the narrative of the sequel would involve Peter trying to manage work and his relationship with Mary Jane. In the middle of the chaos, Black Cat could be a great potential conflict.

The most common fan theory suggests Felicia Hardy, the real identity of Black Cat, would be sprinkled throughout the course of the story. In simpler terms, she would be making around four to five appearances or more overall accounting for a fair share of the story. Another possibility is besides making frequent appearances, Hardy would feature in a long stretch mission along with Peter Parker. 

Drawing parallels with The Heist DLC 

The charm of Black Cat worked wonders on the webheads in the DLC releases for Marvel’s Spider-Man 2018. A rare set of fans claim that Insomniac might follow a similar pattern with the sequel and include the character later in the DLC. Apparently, this seems quite unlike the developers as they wouldn’t want to follow such predictable patterns. 

Three months after the main game’s events, Spider-Man’s ex-girlfriend Black Cat (Felicia Hardy) returns to the city for a heist. This sends him plunging into the murky world of the city’s crime families and ultimately into a gang war with Hammerhead at its center. This results in some interesting conversations between the web-slinging superhero and the vengeful burglar. As the DLC moves on, Peter tries to understand the complexity of Black Cat as a character. The fact that there’s still a lot to explore about the attributes of Hardy makes every hypothetical pitch an interesting one.
