Ben Jordan, the facial model for Peter Parker in Insomniac Games' Spider-Man titles, posted and quickly deleted an Instagram photo hinting at motion-capture work. The image showed him in a web-shooting pose with the caption 'IYKYK' and a spider emoji, fueling speculation about Spider-Man 3. Insomniac has not announced the project and remains focused on Marvel's Wolverine, set for release in September 2026.
On April 14, 2026, Ben Jordan shared an Instagram post from a motion-capture studio. The deleted photo captured him in a classic Spider-Man web-shooting pose, accompanied by 'IYKYK'—internet slang for 'if you know, you know'—and a spider emoji. As first reported by Eurogamer, the post appeared just before sites like Push Square highlighted it as evidence of early work on Spider-Man 3 at Insomniac Games and Sony Interactive Entertainment's studio. Jordan's sole acting credit is as Peter Parker's face model, starting with Marvel's Spider-Man: Miles Morales and the PS5 refresh of the original, before taking a fuller role in 2023's Marvel's Spider-Man 2, where Yuri Lowenthal provides the voice. Peter Parker is voiced by Yuri Lowenthal across the series. Insomniac is currently prioritizing Marvel's Wolverine, a PS5 exclusive launching on September 15, 2026, featuring characters like Mystique and Omega Red. While a Spider-Man cameo in Wolverine remains possible since they share a universe, facial capture this close to release seems unlikely, and the pose strongly suggests Spider-Man 3 development as Wolverine nears completion. Insomniac has made no official comment on the post or Spider-Man 3. The studio previously released Marvel's Spider-Man in 2018 and Marvel's Spider-Man 2 five years later, hinting at a similar gap before any sequel.
