Marvel's Spider-Man 3 development has seemingly begun as Peter Parker face model shares new behind-the-scenes photo

• Peter Parker's face model Ben Jordan appears to confirm Marvel's Spider-Man 3 is in development
• In a now-deleted post, Jordan is wearing motion capture gear on a set
• The caption also included a spider emoji

Insomniac Games has seemingly begun development of Marvel's Spider-Man 3.

While there's no confirmation from the studio itself, Peter Parker face model Ben Jordan did share a behind-the-scenes photo on Instagram today showing him posing in motion capture gear (via @WeBeenCroft).

The post, which was swiftly deleted after posting, featured Jordan standing on a set with his hands in the Spider-Man web shooting pose, along with the caption "IYKYK [If you know, you know]" accompanied by a spider emoji.

Capturing a model's face for a character is typically something done at the beginning of development, before motion capture and scenes are filmed, so it's possible Spider-Man 3 is in the early stages of production.

Peter Parker's original face model, John Bubniak, was replaced with Ben Jordan for the PS5 edition of Marvel's Spider-Man: Remastered, but the character is voiced by actor Yuri Lowenthal.

Insomniac hasn't announced Marvel's Spider-Man 3, but we can probably bet on a third instalment in the series, considering Spider-Man 2's cliffhanger and the game's success with critics and players.

Currently, the studio is working on Marvel's Wolverine, which is scheduled to launch on September 15 for PlayStation 5.

Unlike in the Spider-Man games, where Peter Parker and Miles Morales' stories are contained within New York City, Wolverine's trailer confirmed that Wolverine, aka James "Logan" Howlett, will travel to Japan, Madripoor, and Canada.

Insomniac has also confirmed that the game takes place in the same universe as Marvel's Spider-Man 2.
