It\u2019d be fair to say that Insomniac Games is fast becoming one of the most well-respected developers in all of Sony\u2019s PlayStation Studios lineup, and with two games revealed at last night\u2019s PlayStation Showcase, it\u2019s clear that trajectory is set to continue. Alongside a new Wolverine project that\u2019s early in development, the studio is also returning to NYC with its wall-crawler sequel, Spider-Man 2 \u2013 arriving in 2023. While it appears that Kraven will be part of the equation, what turned most heads was the arrival of Venom \u2013 a character that had been teased in the first game. With such an important character, Insomniac sought more gravitas \u2013 and has added Tony Todd to the game\u2019s cast. Tony Todd joins Spider-Man 2 as Venom Todd\u2019s deep voice is iconic, having served him well as the terrifying Candyman and The Fallen in the Transformers movie franchise, as well as appearances in Final Destination, The Crow, and TV credits that include the likes of 24 and Star Trek: The Next Generation.
