Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse
“Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse” is the sequel to the critically-acclaimed “Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse” (2018), an animated film from Sony starring Shameik Moore as Miles Morales, a.k.a. Spider-Man. The film delved into the multiverse before “Spider-Man: No Way Home” did, with multiple versions of Spider-Man, including Miles, Peter Parker, and Gwen Stacy. Watch the new trailer below.
Moore returns as Miles Morales, who became Spider-Man after the Peter Parker of his universe died. Hailee Steinfeld is also back as Gwen Stacy, a.k.a. Spider-Woman, and Jake Johnson returns as Peter B. Parker, both from different universes. As seen in the trailer, Peter now has a daughter, Mayday, with his wife, Mary Jane.
“Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse” introduces the Spider-Society, a group of even more versions of Spider-Man from across the universes. These Spideys include Issa Rae as Jessica Drew / Spider-Woman, Daniel Kaluuya as Hobart “Hobie” Brown / Spider-Punk, Karan Soni as Pavitr Prabhakar / Spider-Man India, and Oscar Isaac as Miguel O’Hara / Spider-Man 2099. Isaac had a brief cameo appearance at the end of “Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse.” He’s the leader of the Spider-Society, and butts heads with Miles.
The “Spider-Verse” franchise is separate from the MCU, but multiple actors have appeared in both. Steinfeld also portrays Kate Bishop / Hawkeye, Isaac portrays the titular character of “Moon Knight,” Kaluuya portrayed W’Kabi in “Black Panther,” and Soni portrays Dopinder in the “Deadpool” films. The “Deadpool” series was also originally disconnected from the MCU, but “Deadpool 3” (2024) will officially be part of it.
Kathryn Hahn voiced Doctor Olivia Octavius in “Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse” before appearing as Agatha Harkness in “WandaVision.” Though her version of Doctor Octopus isn’t expected to return, Hahn will reprise the role of Agatha in her own series, “Agatha: Coven of Chaos,” scheduled to premiere in late 2023 or early 2024.
In the “Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse” trailer, Isaac’s Spider-Man 2099 references the events of the MCU’s “Spider-Man: No Way Home,” expressing frustration with Tom Holland’s Peter Parker and Benedict Cumberbatch’s Doctor Strange. The MCU is currently in the midst of their own Multiverse Saga.
The trailer also features a massive re-creation of the famous Spider-Man pointing meme.
Also among the “Across the Spider-Verse” cast is Jason Schwartzman as Jonathan Ohnn / The Spot, Brian Tyree Henry as Jefferson Davis (Miles’ father), Luna Lauren Vélez as Rio Morales (Miles’ mother), Greta Lee as Lyla, Shea Whigham as George Stacy (Gwen’s father), and Jorma Taccone as Vulture.
“Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse” is directed by Joaquim Dos Santos, Kemp Powers, and Justin K. Thompson. The screenplay is by Phil Lord, Christopher Miller, and David Callaham.
The film will be released in theaters on June 2, 2023.
