Even those who haven’t played the previous installments recognize the voice of Peter Parker—provided by Yuri Lowenthal. However, the cast of Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 surpasses anything seen in previous Insomniac titles, featuring everyone from voice-acting veterans to horror legends. That said, not every voice has remained the same; some characters have new voices—a deliberate choice rather than a glitch. Below is a comprehensive list of the actors, including details on the Russian dub and where it is available. We also highlight which actors replaced their counterparts from the first game and where you’ve likely heard these voices before. Spoiler: you might be surprised.

English Voice Cast for Main Characters
Peter Parker / Spider-Man — Yuri Lowenthal
Yuri Lowenthal has voiced the titular web-slinger for three consecutive games. For many, his portrayal has become as definitive as Stan Lee’s original comics. His performance draws on classic interpretations, infusing Peter with that signature blend of self-deprecating humor and weariness that fans love. Beyond Spider-Man, you’ve likely heard him in Naruto (Sasuke Uchiha) and Gurren Lagann (Simon). He also appeared in Diablo 4, so the voice is sure to sound familiar.
Miles Morales / Spider-Man — Nadji Jeter
Nadji Jeter returns to the role of Miles following the 2020 spin-off. His Miles sounds younger and more energetic—bringing a dynamic pace to the game that keeps you on the edge of your seat from mission to mission. Jeter also voiced Sam in The Last of Us and appeared in the 2017 Spider-Man animated series. Coincidence? Unlikely—Marvel is clearly betting on proven voice actors.
Mary Jane Watson — Laura Bailey
Laura Bailey is a legend in the field. She is the voice of Abby in The Last of Us Part II and a star of Critical Role. Her portrayal of Mary Jane is more mature and decisive—a departure from the first game, where the character was primarily someone who needed rescuing. Now, she drives the investigation herself.
Venom — Tony Todd
This is where the real hype lies. Tony Todd is a horror legend—the original Candyman. His deep, menacing voice has turned Venom into a truly terrifying presence. Todd’s casting as the symbiote is a nod to 90s fans who remember him from Mortal Kombat 11 and Star Trek. And yes, he is genuinely scary—even when he’s just growling.
Harry Osborn — Graham Phillips
Here, there is a change in casting. While Scott Porter voiced Harry in the first game, Graham Phillips took over for the sequel. There was no official explanation for the switch, but fans suspect it reflects a shift in the character’s tone: the new Harry sounds more broken, which aligns with the storyline. Phillips is known for High School Musical and his voice work in anime dubs.
Norman Osborn — Mark Rolston
The stern and cold Mayor of New York is voiced by Mark Rolston. Having appeared in Lost and Dexter, his vocal style is a perfect fit for an authoritative father figure who is clearly hiding something.
Kraven the Hunter — Jim Pirri
Jim Pirri voiced Angelo Bronte in Red Dead Redemption 2, and that explains a lot. His Kraven sounds like a seasoned predator who never lets his prey escape. The Hunter comes across as both dangerous and charismatic—arguably the game’s best villain after Venom.
Other Characters
It is also important to mention Ganke Lee, Rio Morales, Martin Li (Mister Negative), Yuri Watanabe, J. Jonah Jameson, Felicia Hardy (Black Cat), and Flint Marko (Sandman). Their voice actors were also chosen with great care, though they may not have the same star power as the main cast.
Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 Russian Dub — Who Provided the Voices
Now, for the details that matter most to Russian-speaking players. Those who bought the game via the European PSN are in luck—it includes Russian voice acting. US players, however, do not have this option. This is a crucial point that many overlook.
Peter Parker — Ivan Chaban
Ivan Chaban has long been the voice of Spider-Man in Russian localizations. He also voiced Peter in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, making his voice instantly recognizable and familiar to many. Chaban brings the same sense of lightness to Peter that Lowenthal does, but with a natural-sounding Russian delivery.
Miles Morales — Pyotr Kovrizhnykh
Pyotr Kovrizhnykh is a young voice actor who did a fantastic job with the role of Miles. His voice sounds lively and modern—a perfect fit for the teenage Spider-Man.
The rest of the Russian cast
The Russian voice cast also includes Anastasia Lapina, Inga Smetanina, Alexander Noskov, Alexander Dasevich, and Ivan Litvinov. You can find the full list on the game’s PS Store page, but the table below summarizes everything.
Where Russian voice acting is available (and where it isn’t)
A key detail: Russian localization is tied to your account region. It is available in the European region but not the American one. Interestingly, the project code for the New Zealand version matches the Turkish version, which also supports Russian. So, if you bought a physical disc in Russia or Europe, you won’t have any issues. However, with the US digital version, you’ll have to switch to English or change your region.
How to change voice and subtitle languages in Marvel’s Spider-Man 2
The language settings menu is easy to find. Simply go to the main menu, select “Settings” > “Language,” and toggle the voice and subtitle options. Note: if your region doesn’t support Russian, you won’t see this option. The only solution is to purchase the game in the appropriate region or download the language pack separately (if available). Insomniac has confirmed on its official forum that these packs are tied to the game version, not the console itself.
