Spider-Man: Miles Morales Ending Explained
Marvel's Spider-Man ending teased Harry Osborn becoming Venom, and Spider-Man: Miles Morales' post-credits scene sets the stage for a Marvel Spider-Man 2 with Venom in a lead role. In the first game, Peter thought Harry was absent in Europe, but he was actually in New York the entire time being treated for his illness with an unorthodox procedure. His father, Norman Osborn, uses an experimental substance resembling black goo to heal Harry while he's suspended in a tank, and now Norman thinks it's time for Harry to get out.
In the post-credits scene from Spider-Man: Miles Morales, we see Norman Osborn scolding one of his scientists. We see through Harry's eyes, and we get a glimpse of the black goo enveloping his body and reacting to outside stimuli. Norman tells the scientist it's time for Harry to get out of the tank, then the scene ends. This very clearly defines Harry Osborn, taken over by a symbiote, as the next antagonist of Marvel's Spider-Man 2. A symbiote is a dark alien creature that takes control of a host's body and gives it superhuman abilities. That's what creates Venom and where Spider-Man gets the Black Suit, so it's likely the sequel will deal with both to some extent.
Plus, the scientist Norman Osborn shouts at in this scene isn't a nameless growl. If you have captions, you may have entered the scientist's name: Curt Connors. Curt Connors is the lizard in the comics, so Insomniac could tease another villain for the sequel. In most Spider-Man stories, Peter usually knows Dr. Connors beforehand, so Peter can meet him in Game 3 and we might get to witness his transformation into a lizard throughout the story. The first game dealt with multiple villains, so it's very likely that the sequel deals with Venom as well as the lizard. Norman Osborn could also play as the Green Goblin, although there has been no suggestion that he does so in the sequel at this point. Maybe we'll see the setup for this in the sequel before we finally face off against the Green Goblin in Spider-Man XNUMX?
Marvel's Spider-Man: Miles Morales is now available on PS4 and PS5. The game includes Marvel's Spider-Man: Remastered if you get the Ultimate Edition on PS5.
