Update #2: Miles Morales may be busy keeping the streets of Harlem safe, but he's always got a spare minute to contact his Mami. In this latest Marvel's Spider-Man: Miles Morales promotional clip, he checks in with Rio Morales to assure her that he's absolutely not going to chase Spider-Man around the streets of New York.
Well, technically he's not lying, right?!
Update #1: Looks like these WhatsApp chats are going to become a recurring marketing thread through until Marvel's Spider-Man: Miles Morales' launch. Here's another with his pal, Ganke Lee:
Original Story: Here’s a bright and breezy bit of marketing to improve your day: a fictional WhatsApp chat between Peter Parker and Miles Morales. In the conversation, Spider-Man catches up with Spider-Man, as they both share a little bit about what they’ve been up to recently. Miles eventually leans on Peter for some advice, and the hero from Marvel’s Spider-Man gives his apprentice some brotherly suggestions.
There’s been a bit of a brouhaha about Mary-Jane Watson’s face – especially after Peter Parker’s altered looks caused a backlash earlier in the year. Worry not, though, that’s actually artwork from the PlayStation 4 game, and there’s no word on MJ getting a different face model just yet.

The Spider-Man pointing gif at the end was top notch.
"There's no right way to be a hero"
Incorrect. The right way is Homelanders way.
Oh wow! that MJ artwork looks identical to a work colleague of mine! She'll be well pleased. She loved Spiderman PS4.
I never saw this artwork in the PS4 game, was it a photo in the background or something? or just concept art?
@RBMango Sammy points out in the last paragraph that it's from the original PS4 game.
I thought it was different too! Apparently not!
If the character model is slightly tweaked to look akin to that, that would be fine for me. There she seems to match age wise with Peter's new younger look.
@Perryg92 in the original PS4 version it was an in game framed photograph of MJ, Peter Parker, and Harry Osborn when they were at college that you found in Harry's room in Norman Osborn's house (I think), they've just cropped Harry out here
@NeuralDeclan cheers! Now you mentioned it, it's flashed back in my memory. Haven't played since launch weekend in 2018. need to go back to it! (and will as i'm one of those muppets who's bought the ultimate edition of Miles)
Man, Peter's new face is such an improvement! If they show him under the mask in the ps4 version of Miles Morales I hope it's the new updated look.
Who's that Peter Faker?
@Perryg92 Hmmmm maybe it's just a placebo effect on my part.
Edit: Ah, now I remember this picture from the first game. Never mind.
@Perryg92 I'm in the fortunate position where I totally missed the boat on Spider-Man in 2018 and played it for the first time this summer for like £15 with all the DLC , so it's fresh in my mind for Miles Morales and no need to pony up for the ultimate edition either!
I actually like Peter Parker new face better than his old now.
@oldschool1987
That's not WhatsApp! 😂
At first I thought that MJ was in a weeding dress and I thought "Did they just casually reveal they got married in this promo video?" lol
@Xaessya I love it 😂
@Deadlyblack it was at the end of spiderverse film too. Never gets old.
@Clemerek Had the same thought haha!
But yeah this was awesome, and very wholesome. Loving the marketing and stuff for this game so far. The old school spidey pointing bit towards the end was hilarious. Insomniac just get Spider-Man, they've nailed the tone so perfectly.
The tweet seems to be deleted...
@Bartig @get2sammyb Insomniac Games reposted the tweet themselves.

It's not WhatsApp. Why would a Sony studio feature a messaging service from a company they were boycotting not long ago???
It looks like WhatsApp because WhatsApp looks like every single other messaging service, including SMS/MMS and whatever the new Google messaging protocole is called.
@Crimson_Ridley Thanks you! I was beginning to doubt my sanity for a second.
So much for the so called end to end encryption!
Goddamn is that dialogue awful, this belongs in r/Cringe.
I was hoping they would make the new face look older but sadly not....
Insomniac Games was so perfect for developing Spiderman.
That dialogue is beyond cringe. 😓
I dream of a day, when I wake up and there be NOTHING about Spider-Man, Ghost of Tsushima or Last of Us 2.... than maybe I'll have non-negative interest in these games.
Any chance Miles' phone can be used in game
@djlard here's a little trick I've learned: If I'm not interested in the games I just find posts about something I'm interested in. The Internet is way to vast and infinite to be relegated to only focusing on things you don't want to focus on. Just a suggestion...
