Introduced in 2018’s animated Oscar winner, Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse, Peter B. Parker is an endearingly dishevelled, jaded version of the Marvel superhero, who reluctantly becomes mentor to Miles Morales when he is suddenly dragged into another dimension.
Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse star Jake Johnson has now revealed that he is close to confirming a deal that would see him return as the beer-gut brandishing Peter B. Parker in the upcoming sequel.
While the actor has revealed in the past that he was unsure whether there would be a role for the alternate wall-crawler in Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse 2, it seems that things have taken a turn towards the positive, with Johnson revealing that, should things work out, Peter B. Parker will be back.
