User blog:ARTaylor/Spider-Man Has Title and Teaser

Sony Pictures Entertainment has finally given a name for the upcoming animated feature: Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse. The trailer introduces audiences to Miles Morales, who takes up the mantle of Spider-Man following the death of Peter Parker. Based on the massive crossover, the film will introduce the "limitless possibilities of the Spider-Verse, where more than one can wear the mask." In addition, it now has an official release date of December 14th, 2018. But that's not all. The trailer does show Miles visiting a cemetery to see someone with the initials of "PP" but the original Spider-Man isn't entirely absent. Writers Christopher Miller and Phil Lord also revealed that the film will include a middle-aged Peter Parker who acts as a mentor to young Miles.



The film is directed by Bob Persichetti and Peter Ramsey, written Phil Lord and Christopher Miller, as well as produced by Lord, Miller, Amy Pascal, Avi Arad, and Matt Tolmach. It features the talents of Shameik Moore as Miles, Oscar winner Mahershala Ali as Miles' uncle Aaron Davis, Brian Tyree Henry as Miles' father Jefferson Davis, and Liev Schreiber as the yet-to-be-revealed villain.
