Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 Shares First Full Look at Lizard

Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 developer Insomniac Games has today fully revealed its own take on Lizard who will be appearing in the forthcoming PlayStation 5 sequel. Back in May, Insomniac first showed off gameplay from Spider-Man 2 as part of an extensive demo. In this presentation, Lizard was confirmed to be one of the new villains appearing in the game, although his appearance was largely kept hidden throughout. Now, Insomniac has opted to fully showcase Lizard as a way of generating more excitement for its forthcoming project. 

Highlighted on Insomniac’s official social media channels, a new character poster for Lizard in Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 was revealed. This poster is one of many that Insomniac has shared with fans this week as others have also come about tied to Peter Parker, Miles Morales, and Kraven. As for Lizard’s design, the iconic Spider-Man antagonist looks quite vicious and contains a number of sharp spikes that run up his back and tail. Insomniac’s take on Lizard is also notably missing the lab coat that has been synonymous with other versions of the character. Perhaps this look will be seen at some point in Spider-Man 2, though, notably when Dr. Curt Connors first transforms into the beast.
