Players of the highly anticipated video game “Marvel’s Spider-Man 2” took to social media to ask developers to correct a few scenes, which have confused the Puerto Rican and the Cuban flags in a game known to celebrate the main character's Puerto Rican heritage.

The character, Miles Morales, is recognized by fans as one of the few Latino mainstream superheroes.

When Insomniac Games released the new PlayStation 5 game featuring Morales on Friday, it included at least two scenes in which the Puerto Rican and the Cuban flags were mixed up, which was pointed out by fans over the weekend. The company is reportedly working to fix the mistake. As of Tuesday, no specific time for the fix had been provided.

In one scene inside Morales' Spanish Harlem family home, the flag displayed is not of his native Puerto Rico but of Cuba, social media users pointed out online. The Cuban flag appears a second time in a street scene.

While both flags are designed similarly with a single star inside a triangle and three colored stripes accompanied by two white stripes, their colors are inverted. The Cuban flag has a red triangle and three blue stripes while the Puerto Rican flag has a blue triangle and three red stripes.
