Insomniac Games has produced a trio of great Marvel's Spider-Man adventures over the years, and they've of course been super popular.
As it turns out, Tom Holland and Zendaya, who play Spidey/Peter Parker and MJ in the Marvel movies, are big fans too.
In a brief interview with IGN Benelux about the upcoming Spider-Man: Brand New Day, the pair are asked whether the games had any influence on the movie.
"I love the games — we love the games," Tom Holland says. "The games are absolutely sensational."
Zendaya admits she isn't very good at playing, so is enjoying the superhero adventures with Story Mode. "I get very frustrated because I want to play it all by myself, and [Tom] will try to come, 'Let me help you!' and I'm like 'No! I need to do this on my own!'"
It makes sense that the couple have played the games given their ties to Marvel and Sony, but it's good to hear they like them too.
Insomniac certainly thinks so; off the back of this story, the studio has invited the pair to its Burbank headquarters:
The games have also gotten a little bit of love from the movie side in the Spider-Verse animated films, where Insomniac's Spidey — with his white spider Advanced Suit — makes a cameo appearance.
Brand New Day arrives at the end of July, and I'll be interested to see if there are any other nods to the games during its runtime.

I'm kinda of amazed that Sony hadn't used them for marketing yet. Still there's still the third game to come.
They took moves from the games and put them in his fight with Goblin in NWH. Not shocked he's a fan.
Good taste - all 3 games are excellent, and in my opinion are only getting better. Can't wait for Part 3.
@For-Kier I mean Tom Holland's is a big gamer, he's always been open about that and its why he wanted to do Uncharted as he loves the games. Giving his love for both games and Spider-Man i can't say i'm shocked he's fan of the SM games. Also as i said in my other comment they have taking moves from the games and put them in his films.
These two have great taste! I have been gaming since the Atari 2600 days, and it is hard to beat Spidey 1 and 2 and Miles Morales for pure fun. I get a huge smile on my face whenever I think about my time playing them.
Wow. You mean @For-Kier making more negative comments in these forums? Shocking.
Are you allowed to write an article about Tom and Zendaya in 2026 and not mention if they're married or not? 😂
I guess being in the movies would give them a special appreciation for the games.
I wasn’t bowled over by the first game. I found it kind of repetitive and not terribly interesting.
Miles morales I enjoyed much more. I’m not sure why, but I guess I found it more interesting. It being short also prevented it from getting monotonous.
I wonder if the third game is better and if I’d enjoy it more.
I really just wish they’d make more Ratchet games though. Crack in time was so great.
@DennisReynolds Zendaya and Hunter Schaefer's favorite game is The Last of Us Part 2. It's not surprising they're massive gamers. I assume most actors today have played video games. Like, John Carpenter loved Horizon Forbidden West!
They were paid to say so.
