Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse is a sequel to Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse. It was released on June 2nd, 2023. It is being made back-to-back with Spider-Man: Beyond the Spider-Verse.

Miles Morales is adjusting to life as his world's only Spider-Man when a new villain named Spot arrives claiming they made each other. Gwen Stacy returns leading Miles to travel across the Spider-Verse meeting hundreds of other Spider-Men and Spider-Women. However, Miles becomes trapped between the growing threat of Spot's quest for revenge and Miguel O'Hara's staunch stance on preserving events that may cost Miles everything he loves.

Story[]

Official synopsis:[1]

"Miles Morales returns for the next chapter of the Oscar-winning Spider-Verse saga, Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse. After reuniting with Gwen Stacy, Brooklyn’s full-time, friendly neighborhood Spider-Man is catapulted across the Multiverse, where he encounters a team of Spider-People charged with protecting its very existence. But when the heroes clash on how to handle a new threat, Miles finds himself pitted against the other Spiders and must redefine what it means to be a hero so he can save the people he loves most."

The tagline for the film is: "It's how you wear the mask that matters."[2]

Trivia[]

Goofs[]

  • Unlimited Spider-Man and Insomniac Spider-Man are next to Miguel when Miles knocks them all down to escape. Immediately after, they are both ahead of Miles and Miguel in the lobby during the pointing scene.

Continuity[]

  • Prior to the audience learning about Miles Morales of Earth-42 Miguel O'Hara says that there are no Miles Morales variants in the multiverse. Spider-Man from Insomniac's Spider-Man video game series is clearly seen as a member of the Spider Society, and in the Insomniac Spider-Man games Miles Morales gets his spider powers at the end of the first game and becomes the second Spider-Man in the spin-off game Spider-Man: Miles Morales. This means that Miguel was wrong about there being Miles variants and the movie itself possibly takes place before the events of Insomniac's first Spider-Man video game.

Background[]

On November 27th, The Hollywood Reporter revealed that Sony already had plans for a sequel and spinoff. Amy Pascal will return to produce. Phil Lord, Christopher Miller, Avi Arad, and Christina Steinberg are expected to return though no deals have been made.[3]

Joaquim Dos Santos is currently set to direct the sequel with David Callaham writing. No details regarding the sequel were initially given other than that this film would plant seeds for one. Pascal said in a later interview that the sequel would feature the romance between Miles and Gwen, something this movie largely cut out of the original script. On November 1st, 2019, the sequel was given a release date of April 8th, 2022.[4] On April 19th, 2021, Sony officially confirmed Dos Santos as director along with Kemp Powers and Justin K. Thompson.[5] Thompson served as a production designer on the first film.

On June 4th, 2021, The Hollywood Reporter confirmed that Issa Rae had been cast as Jessica Drew/Spider-Woman.[10] She was the first to be officially announced for the film and the first new character.

Moore, Steinfeld, and Isaac were confirmed to return on December 4th, 2021.[11]

Speaking to Moviedweeb, Jake Johnson confirmed that his Peter B. Parker would return.[12]

When asked on Twitter, Phil Lord revealed that Takuya Yamashiro, the Japanese Spider-Man from the 1978 series, had been designed.[13] During the theatrical release of the first film, Lord said on Twitter, though it may have been a joke, that if the film made $200 million domestically he would put the Japanese Spider-Man into the sequel. This Spider-Man did play a part in the Spider-Verse comics and his Leopardon was included as a drawing of Miles.[14] He did not confirm whether the character was actually in the movie or not.

On June 13th, 2022, Sony Animation appeared at the Annecy International Animation Film Festival to discuss the film. There they announced that Jorma Taccone, who played Green Goblin in the first film, would play villain Vulture,[15] Shea Whigham would play Gwen's father Captain George Stacy,[16] and Rachel Dratch would play a school counselor,[17] and Jason Schwartzman would play villain Spot.[18] Whigham follows Big Hero 6 actor James Cromwell as Captain Stacy, who played the role in the live-action film Spider-Man 3.

Spider-Man of The Spectacular Spider-Man was first revealed to be in the film on the first international poster. Christopher Miller confirmed it was the Spider-Man of the series.[19]

The voice actor for Scarlet Spider was kept secret, but was hinted to be a major celebrity. Even the other actors were kept in the dark as the celebrity was kept away from most of the crew. Director Joaquim Dos Santos said of the secrecy, "I can't wait for people to hear who voices him. [...] It still hasn't been released, but I love our Scarlet Spider actor. [...] Not even the actors know! Everyone is sworn to secrecy, and they record alone, so most of them are discovering with the public who is in the film they've been making. Their reactions have been pretty hilarious."[20]
