New rumors about Spider-Man 3 after accidentally leaked information

Developer frustrations are often exposed by the excitement of actors and writers, and that now seems to be the case for Insomniac Games and its upcoming project, Spider-Man 3. Recently, Ben Jordan, the actor who provides facial capture for Peter Parker in Insomniac’s Spider-Man games, shared a photo that has now sparked plenty of speculation about the new game’s development.

Ben Jordan's Instagram post

On April 14, 2026, Ben Jordan posted an image on social media showing him in a mo-cap suit, complete with a pose that looked Spider-Man-inspired. The caption included the abbreviation “IYKYK,” which stands for “if you know, you know.” The post, which was deleted shortly after it went live, has drawn a lot of attention and is fueling speculation that Insomniac Games has already started work on Spider-Man 3.

The status of Insomniac Games

It’s important to note that Insomniac Games has not made any official announcement about Spider-Man 3 so far. The studio is currently focused on Marvel’s Wolverine, which is scheduled for release in September 2026. That has led to the assumption that the team will only begin working on Spider-Man 3 in full after Wolverine launches.

Ben Jordan, who fully took over Peter Parker’s facial capture role in Spider-Man 2 in 2023, has been connected to the franchise since the Miles Morales spin-off. Even so, the timeline for the new game’s development remains unclear for now, as there has been no confirmation from the studio itself.

What does this mean for the future?

If Insomniac Games is working on Spider-Man 3, it seems likely that we’ll see more reports and teasers as Marvel’s Wolverine gets closer. Earlier rumors have suggested there could be a crossover or cameo involving Spider-Man in the Wolverine game, which would mean the two universes could be linked in some way.

There have also been earlier hints at a possible Venom spin-off, but recent attention appears to be centered on the main series. The question remains how much these projects may overlap, or whether they could take place in the same timeline.

With the information available, it seems Spider-Man fans may have to wait a little longer before more is revealed about the upcoming third installment. Time will tell how things unfold and what Insomniac has in store for its loyal fanbase.
