An experienced Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) artist joins Insomniac Games to work on Spider-Man 2. He has several games (Halo Infinite, Mortal Kombat 10) and movies (Doctor Strange…).
Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 was already in good hands, but now it can only get better. Insomniac Games is bolstering its teams with a veteran of the MCU, the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
An MCU artist for Marvel’s Spider-Man 2
Davison Carvalho, freelance concept artist, is the artistic director of Marvel’s Spider-Man 2. Information that went unnoticed (unearthed by VGC) when he has held this role since last February all the same. A solid recruitment since he notably helped on MCU films such as Doctor Strange, Captain America: Civil War, Captain Marvel or even Thor: Ragnarok. And outside of that? He also has expertise in the field of video games.
He helped design Halo Infinite, Lone Echo, Mortal Kombat X, and the Amazon Games New World games as well as the now-defunct TPS Crucible. Davison Carvalho has posted some of his work on his Twitter account, but the rest is available on his Artstation profile.
As specified by our colleagues Grant Hollis and Gavin Goulden, artistic directors of Marvel’s Spider-Man and Marvel’s Spider-Man: Miles Morales, are on Marvel’s Wolverine.
The same recipe but “better”
What to expect for Marvel’s Spider-Man 2? A darker game, a sequel in the continuity of previous adventures but “better” according to Bill Rosemann, vice president of Marvel Games.
There are multiple villains. The story told through Marvel’s Spider-Man and Marvel’s Spider-Man: Miles Morales continues. I don’t want to reveal too much, but this is the next big chapter. There are a lot of subjects, characters that were in the first two games and that you will find here.
Bill Rosemann, Vice President at Marvel Games.
In the novelties, there will be Venom which will be played by Tony Todd (Candyman from 1992). And who knows, maybe a cooperative mode?
Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 will be available in 2023 as a PS5 exclusive.
