Spider-Man 2 actor Yuri Lownethal is tired of talking about Peter Parker's face.
Marvel's Spider-Man 2 star Yuri Lowenthal is a bit tired of the discourse surrounding Peter Parker's face change. Marvel's Spider-Man wowed fans and critics alike back upon its release in 2018. There had been a steady stream of Spider-Man games before them, but the quality really varied quite a bit. Sometimes you'd get an all-time classic, sometimes it would be a total dud.
However, one criticism Insomniac Games has gotten is for a decision made retroactively to the first game. In 2020, Insomniac Games remastered the first game for the launch of the PS5 and while it looked beautiful and ran well, the biggest change was that Peter Parker's face was completely changed. Insomniac replaced the facial model for Peter Parker with a new person, citing a better match for Yuri Lowenthal's facial capture, resulting in better facial animation.
"The performance was the same for me. I got over it as soon as they said 'Hey, we wanna make this change so that the facial animation is better.' I said 'I'm all in!' I don't care if he looks like a goblin, if my performance is better, than I'm in. I'm kind of tired of talking about it to be honest, because I think everything that needs to be said has been said. Some people will take longer to get over it, some people will never get over it.
At the very least, this time players will get to experience a new Peter Parker story with the new face from the start. It's likely having the opportunity to compare and being so emotionally connected to one version of the character likely impacted the way people felt. Had it always been one face, perhaps there wouldn't be as much of an issue among fans.
