This decision to elevate Miles to the forefront is a natural progression that has been building since his introduction in the first game. Miles’ journey of self-discovery and growth has resonated with players, and his unique abilities and perspective have added a fresh dimension to the Spider-Man mythos.
"It always felt very natural, and I think we all collectively thought it would happen," said Brian Horton, lead writer on Marvel's Spider-Man 2. "To me, it shows a great deal of evolution from Miles. I think pretty early on, we knew that we wanted to have that moment of handing the reins over."
This shift in focus doesn’t mean that Peter Parker is disappearing from the picture. He will still play a significant role in Miles’ life, providing guidance and support as he navigates the challenges of being a superhero. But this is Miles’ time to shine, to prove that he is capable of carrying the weight of responsibility and becoming the hero that New York needs.
The decision to make Miles the main Spider-Man is a bold and exciting move, and it’s one that is sure to please fans who have been eagerly awaiting his turn in the spotlight.
