With strong sales and great reviews, it is safe to say thatSpider-Man: Miles Moraleswas a successful follow-up to the original game. Even the bugs inSpider-Man: Miles Moralesare being received well by Spidey fans, includingSpider-Man: Into The Spider-Verseproducer and story writer Phil Lord.
While fans of PlayStation’sSpider-Manuniverse may want tosee the Spider-Verse exploredin an upcoming Insomniac game, they are guaranteed to see it on-screen once again via a sequel to the Oscar-winningSpider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse. Phil Lord, the writer and producer for both the original movie and the upcoming sequel, has commented on the recent game starring Miles Morales — specifically the silly transformation bugs that can happen to the young hero.

The bugs in question have seenMiles Morales transform into streetlights, bricks, and, most recently, a heater. Twitter user @DoctorCuriosity shared a clip of the glitch, dubbed “heater parker,” and it is absolutely hilarious to see a heater swinging its way through New York City while the player in control giggles in delight. The tweet quickly went viral before being followed up with an even more popular post, this time seeing Phil Lord say “we’re putting this in Spider-Verse 2 if we have any self respect at all.”
While the post could certainly be read as a joke, the inclusion of theSpider-Man: Miles Moralestransformation bugsseems genuinely possible for theInto yhe Spider-Versesequel. With the original movie referencing the first game via Peter Parker’s Advanced Suit, as well as the inclusion of Spider-Ham in a prominent role, the weird glitch would fit perfectly with the fun tone the film is sure to have. Paying homage to everything Spidey-related is part of what made the first film so special to fans, and the sequel is on track to do the same by paying respect to these bugs.
WithSpider-Man: Miles MoralesacknowledgingInto the Spider-Versein so many ways, be it the actual costume, dialogue easter eggs, orusing Jaden’s music for both soundtracks, it makes sense for the animated sequel to include a nod to the game as well. With fans recreatingInto The Spider-Versescenes viaSpider-Man: Miles Morales, and theInto the Spider-Versedirector previously sharing his admiration for the game, it seems that fans and creators alike are more than ready for this funny crossover.
With The Spectacular Spider-Bricknow likely to appear in theInto The Spider-Versesequel, it could only be a matter of time before the crime-fighting building material makes an appearance in the comics as well. Until then, though, gamers can live out their fantasies of being an inanimate object with superpowers inSpider-Man: Miles Morales.
Spider-Man: Miles Moralesis available now on PS4 and PS5.
