Face Model Seemingly Teases Marvel's Spider-Man 3 with New Scan

The gaming community is buzzing today after a significant development regarding the future of Insomniac Games' hit series. A face model for Peter Parker posted a cryptic image on social media that appears to confirm work is underway on Marvel's Spider-Man 3. Although the post was quickly deleted, the internet has already latched onto the evidence suggesting the next chapter in this epic saga is in motion.

Ben Jordan’s Mysterious Post Sparks Speculation

The source of this excitement is Ben Jordan, the actor serving as the face model for Peter Parker. Jordan shared a photo on Instagram depicting himself wearing full motion capture gear, accompanied by the enigmatic caption "IYKYK" (If You Know You Know). To ensure fans understood the implication, he even included a spider emoji in the post before swiftly removing it from his profile.

Despite its short lifespan, the image was captured and widely shared across social media platforms. One user, Mehmet Witch, tweeted with bold certainty: "SPIDER-MAN’S FACE MODEL JUST CONFIRMED THE NEXT SPIDER-MAN TITLE!!! HE’S GETTING SCANNED!!" This viral reaction highlights just how eagerly the community is anticipating news of a sequel.

Recasting and the Path Forward

It is worth noting that Insomniac Games recently recast the face model for Peter Parker in Marvel’s Spider-Man: Remastered for the PS5, with Jordan replacing John Bubniak at the time. The studio's creative director, Bryan Intihar, explained that the decision was driven by a need to find "a better facial match for actor Yuri Lowenthal."

While Insomniac is currently focused on preparing Marvel’s Wolverine for release later this year, talk of another Spider-Man title should not come as a surprise. The development cycle for these high-fidelity games often requires significant lead time before official announcements are made.

Sequel or Spinoff?

Now that the face model has seemingly teased Marvel's Spider-Man 3, the pressing question remains regarding the nature of this upcoming project. Is Jordan’s involvement pointing toward a direct sequel to the previous adventures, or could it be for a new spinoff title?

The industry is closely watching for further developments from Insomniac Games. Until an official statement is released, the community will have to rely on clues like these to guide their expectations.
