PlayStation’s Peter Parker actor has pushed Insomniac to put Deadpool in Spider-Man 3: “I would like to believe that they got the idea from me”
If we end up seeing Deadpool in Marvel’s Spider-Man 3, it would seem we have Peter Parker actor Yuri Lowenthal to thank, at least partly.
Talking to The Movie Dweeb on Instagram, Lowenthal was asked to comment on a potential Wolverine and Spider-Man collab in Insomniac’s next open-world Spider-Man game. Insomniac is currently hard at work prepping for the release of Marvel’s Wolverine, out September 15, but considering the success of Spider-Man, the standalone Miles Morales game, and Spider-Man 2, another Peter Parker game seems likely to happen at some point even though nothing’s been confirmed yet. And of course, a Wolverine x Spider-Man match-up seems all the more likely with Insomniac now having worked on both IPs.
Lowenthal thinks a Wolverine collab would be “terribly exciting,” but he says “there is one character that I would opt for even more strongly than Wolverine, and it would be Deadpool.”

In response to this, The Movie Dweeb points out a tweet apparently published at some point from Insomniac creative director Brian Horton. I tried to track down the tweet, but Horton’s Twitter account has been deactivated and there’s no Bluesky equivalent, so take this with a grain of salt. According to The Movie Dweeb, the tweet read “worlds collide” and included hashtags for Wolverine and Spider-Man. Lowenthal says the tweet is news to him, but confirmed he’s pushed Horton repeatedly on Deadpool being in the next Spider-Man game.
“I’ve pushed [Horton] every time I see him with the Deadpool thing, so if I’ve just spoiled it for Spider-Man 3, then I would just like to believe that they got the idea from me anyway,” Lowenthal says.
As much as I’m sure Wade Wilson would be flattered to have a part in Insomniac’s Spider-Man series, I’m not sure it would be a tonal fit, what with Deadpool’s whole thing being expletive-laden meta humor and Marvel’s Spider-Man being a generally straightforward, family friendly affair. At the very least, you’d probably have to bump up that ESRB rating from Teen to Mature.

PakarPBN
A Private Blog Network (PBN) is a collection of websites that are controlled by a single individual or organization and used primarily to build backlinks to a “money site” in order to influence its ranking in search engines such as Google. The core idea behind a PBN is based on the importance of backlinks in Google’s ranking algorithm. Since Google views backlinks as signals of authority and trust, some website owners attempt to artificially create these signals through a controlled network of sites.
In a typical PBN setup, the owner acquires expired or aged domains that already have existing authority, backlinks, and history. These domains are rebuilt with new content and hosted separately, often using different IP addresses, hosting providers, themes, and ownership details to make them appear unrelated. Within the content published on these sites, links are strategically placed that point to the main website the owner wants to rank higher. By doing this, the owner attempts to pass link equity (also known as “link juice”) from the PBN sites to the target website.
The purpose of a PBN is to give the impression that the target website is naturally earning links from multiple independent sources. If done effectively, this can temporarily improve keyword rankings, increase organic visibility, and drive more traffic from search results.
