The Marvel’s Spider-Man video games developed by Insomniac Games are now recognized throughout the entertainment industry. With its three titles released so far, the American studio has succeeded in restoring the hero’s reputation in the gaming world.

In an interview with Polygon, Destin Daniel Cretton, the director of Spider-Man: Brand New Day, revealed that Insomniac’s trilogy was a major source of inspiration for the film.

Cretton admitted he isn’t a gamer, but he still took the time to try out Marvel’s Spider-Man.

"So a lot of the people in our stunt department loved playing those video games. So they would do screen grabs of their play and bring it in and say like, ‘Can we pull this move off?’ So that was a great inspiration for things."

Spider-Man: Brand New Day hits theaters on July 29, 2026.
