Summary
A player has identified perfect counterparts fromSpider-Versemovies for sixOverwatch 2Heroes: Lucio, Reaper, D.Va, Sojourn, Mercy, and Soldier: 76. With fans eagerly anticipating Blizzard’s plans forOverwatch 2Season 11 and movie enthusiasts awaiting confirmation ofBeyond the Spider-Verse’s release date, many gamers believe a collaboration between the two would be warmly received by both communities—and they are voicing their support.
Blizzard’s class-based multiplayer shooter has seen its fair share of collaborations, such asOverwatch 2’s crossover with Porsche in May. The game’s character designs have also gained popularity outside of gaming, like Tracer appearing inReady Player One. However, players have long desired a more substantial collaboration with another franchise, one that could creatively reimagine beloved Heroes. This enthusiasm often drives players to imagine potential crossovers themselves, taking the initiative to identify perfect collaboration opportunities for developers.
A recent Reddit post onOverwatch’s subreddit has sparked discussion by proposing Miles Morales, Aaron Davis, Peni Parker, Jessica Drew, Gwendolyn Stacy, and Peter Parker as fitting skin counterparts for Lucio, Reaper, D.Va, Sojourn, Mercy, and Soldier: 76, respectively. The post includes collages comparing each movie character with their ideal in-game counterpart, prompting players to speculate on the potential impact of such a collaboration on prominent faces like Widowmaker and Mercy— especially given thatOverwatch 2reintroduction of Mercy’s pink skinhas gamers excited.
Reddit user LockTheShop proposed the crossover idea, just before the much-anticipated reveal ofOverwatch 2’s Season 11 roadmap. In their post, LockTheShop sought suggestions for better counterparts for Miles Morales. However, a glance at the comments shows thatOverwatch 2fans have already identified numerous potential skin crossover opportunities. For instance, one fan suggested a Peter Porker (Spider-Ham) skin for Roadhog, despite the size difference. Others think Widowmaker would make a compelling Spider-Woman (Gwen) due to their similar fan-favorite physiques and styles. More imaginative gamers have also put forward LYLA for Mei and Mary Jane Watson-Parker for Tracer, although the feasibility of these crossovers remains up for debate.

While aSpider-VerseandOverwatch 2crossover may seem like wishful thinking rather than a potential event, fans of Blizzard’s online shooter shouldn’t lose hope for more collaborations in 2024. FollowingOverwatch 2’s successful crossover withOne-Punch Man, Aimee Dennett, associate director of game product management at Blizzard, confirmed additional crossovers planned for 2024.
