FAQs
Is the Spider-Man 2 video game set in the MCU?
Insomniac Games smash hit videogame will be very popular this holiday season, but it isn't part of the MCU. Sony Pictures owns the right to Spider-Man, and although an agreement with Marvel Studios has allowed the famous wall-crawler to play a pivotal part in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, other Spider-Man Universe movies like Venom and Kraven the Hunter take place in a parallel reality. The same is true for Insomniac Games. While there are similarities to the CMu in Spider-Man 2, the game’s Peter Parker is not based on Tom Holland but on model Ben Jordan, with Yuri Lowenthal providing his voice.
Are there any MCU films set at Christmas?
Fans wanting to catch something in the MCU this Christmas are in luck. Iron Man 3 and the Disney Plus series Hawkeye are both set at Christmas and make fine festive viewing. For the most Holiday Marvel experience, fans should check out The Guardians of the Galaxy Holiday Special on Disney Plus.
