After over a year from being initially announced, Spider-Man will be available as a playable character for PlayStation players in Marvel’s Avengers on November 30. There will also be a new event available for players as well as the game’s first raid: The Discordant Sound. Spider-Man was first announced for Marvel’s Avengers back in August 2020. After that announcement, we got very little information about the wallcrawler. Crystal Dynamics’ road map for Marvel’s Avengers earlier this year was the only other time players were officially told that Spider-Man was still on his way to the game. Alongside the new hero, players also have a new event that they can play. The With Great Power Hero Event will act as a story campaign for Spider-Man and can be used as an introduction to the hero’s unique playstyle. Besides Spider-Man, Marvel’s Avengers players will finally get their hands on the game’s first raid, the Discordant Sound. Raids are known to be more difficult than the usual content and require more coordination and players in order to accomplish. Marvel’s Avengers will have players face off against Klaw and conclude his story from the War for Wakanda expansion. Crystal Dynamics promises that the raid will challenge players with combat and puzzles. Included in this new update will be more cosmetic options for players as well as a new enemy type known as echoes. The new update including Spider-Man and the Discordant Sound raid will be available for Marvel’s Avengers on November 30. Spider-Man is only available for PS4 and PS5 players. Over the past decade, Andrew Garfield has worked hard to prove that he’s more than just his Spider-Man character. Even so, Garfield admitted during a press conference at the Marrakesh Film Festival that he’s still “had to work very hard to have less people ask questions about Spider-Man.” “I’m still working on it, obviously. It’s an imperfect process,” he added. Garfield is currently sitting on a jury at the festival alongside Luca Guadagnino and Jacob Elordi. Garfield added that, in spite of his reticence to continue answering questions about that role, he was “grateful” for it because “it allowed [him] to maybe have an easier shot at working with people like Martin Scorsese straight after.” Comic book fans have been wondering for years when Miles Morales might make his live-action debut in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. 2017’s Spider-Man: Homecoming encouraged those questions by not only marking the beginning of Sony Pictures’ ongoing partnership with Marvel Studios, but also by briefly featuring Miles’ canonical uncle, Aaron Davis (Donald Glover), who mentions he has a nephew he’d like to look out for in the film. Marvel hasn’t done much since then to set up a potential role for Miles in the MCU, but his popularity as a character has grown exponentially thanks to his leading role in Insomniac Games’ Spider-Man video games, as well as the immensely successful animated films Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse and Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse. Now, after at least seven years of waiting, Marvel Studios head Kevin Feige has given fans a vague idea of when Miles might make his MCU debut. Amazon Prime Gaming has 24 games up for grabs for members during November, and many are worth your time. But you’ll want to check out the first game on the list, which is now available for free. Marvel’s Guardians of the Galaxy, developed by Eidos-Montreal, was vastly underrated when it came out in 2021. While it was critically acclaimed, with one of the best superhero narratives we’ve seen outside of the PlayStation Spider-Man games and an excellent 1980s-inspired soundtrack, then parent company Square Enix said it “undershot” expectations. Whether it was due to poor marketing, comparisons to the poorly received live-service game Marvel’s Avengers (also published by Square Enix) from the previous year, or something else entirely, it flew under the radar.
