Spider-Man Miles Morales: Simon Krieger’s Fate, Origin, and Voice Actor Explained

This Marvel’s Spider-Man: Miles Morales article contains spoilers. Spider-Man has always benefited from one of the best rogues’ galleries in comics, but the recently released Marvel’s Spider-Man: Miles Morales features a villain whom some franchise fans may not immediately recognize: a businessman named Simon Krieger. While it probably won’t come as much as a surprise that Miles Morales focuses on a new villain given that it’s a spin-off of the Marvel’s Spider-Man story, it turns out that Krieger isn’t actually an entirely new face in the Marvel universe. The game’s ending also strongly suggests that this won’t be the last…

This Marvel’s Spider-Man: Miles Morales article contains spoilers. Insomniac’s Marvel’s Spider-Man: Miles Morales tells an epic but personal story over the course of its approximately 15-hour campaign, which ends in explosive fashion, with Miles bidding farewell to his tragically misguided best friend Phin Mason/The Tinkerer high above Roxxon Plaza when she gives her life to set right all the reckless things she did in her revenge crusade against the evil tech corporation.  It’s a great game in and of itself, but it’s also a part of the larger Spidey-verse that Insomniac is building with its Marvel games, with references to…

Does Peter Parker Die in Spider-Man: Miles Morales?

Marvel’s Spider-Man: Miles Morales is an interesting follow-up to the critically-acclaimed 2018 PS4 hit, not only because it follows Spidey-in-training Miles but also because it’s not being marketed as a mainline sequel. In truth, while it continues many of the story threads from the original game, Miles Morales‘ approximately 15-hour story campaign is more like a standalone expansion designed to showcase the next-gen power of the PlayStation 5. That’s not to say Miles Morales isn’t a great game in its own right. In our review, we called the PS5 launch title “a full-bodied game with a compelling, emotional story at…

Esai Morales Replaces Nicholas Hoult as Mission: Impossible 7 Villain

The recently-delayed duo of Mission: Impossible movie sequels may still be on schedule, but it now appears that the films will do so without the version of an unnamed villain that had been cast, due to the apparent exit of Nicholas Hoult. However, the vacancy was short-lived, and Hoult’s replacement as the mystery antagonist is now confirmed to be Esai Morales. The exit of Hoult, as reported by Deadline, was the result of the aforementioned release date delays of sequels Mission: Impossible 7 and 8, a coronavirus measure that created a conflict with another commitment for the actor, although, with…
