SPIDER-MAN: INTO THE SPIDER-VERSE Star Jake Johnson Hopes To Return As Peter B. Parker In The Sequel

Work is already underway on the highly anticipated sequel to the Oscar-winning Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse, though little to nothing is known about what to expect at this point. It's believed the focus will be placed on the budding romance between Miles Morales and Gwen Stacy, while it also seems likely we'll see more of Spider-Man 2099 after that memorable post-credits scene.

A lot of fans would love to spend more time with Jake Johnson's Peter B. Parker, though how likely that is is hard to say, especially after the way things ended for him in the first movie (he returned to his own world in a bid to finally make things right with Mary Jane following their separation). 

"I would really hope so," Johnson says in the video below after being asked about a possible return. "I really loved playing Peter B. Parker. I literally recorded that movie for, I think it was over two years. People don't realize, most of with animation you do two or three records and it's over. I lived with that character before anyone knew it was happening for so long. I loved the material."

"I got to record with Shameik (Moore) a lot who played Miles, and we got to bounce off each other. Shameik and I became buddies and we're still texting and in touch."

"I would love to see Peter, what happens to him," Johnson continued. "I would love to see, did he and MJ get back together? Did he become a dad? Is he still a superhero? Is he a dad and a superhero? But these are all as a fan now, because in terms of the inside I'm not at that table making decisions, but I would love Peter to come back."

The Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse sequel is currently set to be released on October 7th, 2022 after originally being scheduled for April of that same year (it was pushed back thanks to COVID-19).

Would be cool to see him back, but with obviously Miles and Gwen already returning, would be nice to get more variety, got japanese spiderman, 2099 spiderman, maybe for another Mayday or Annie May Parker.

Plus his arc was pretty complete in the first film.

He was fantastic in the role. Really great take on Peter Parker, this and the Raimi films by far capture the character the best cinematically. I hope he's only back if the story demands it though, but considering how well-written the first one was that might not be so hard

It'd be cool if he had a cameo, but his story was fufilled in the first one. Give that screentime to this guy...

That sucks because he did a good job in the role and we are invested in the bond Peter B. and Miles created.
