Heads up, Marvel fans! We have a brand new trailer for one of the most anticipated movies of 2023. The movie in question? Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse, the sequel to 2018’s acclaimed Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse. This time, Miles Morales is going to venture even deeper into the multiverse. Along the way, he’s going to encounter lots and lots of other Spider-People, including Spider-Man 2099. Check it out.
Much of the trailer focuses on a monologue delivered by Miles’ mom. All the while, footage from the first film plays. It isn’t until the back half where we actually get new footage. What’s most amazing is that we don’t see the main villain, The Spot, in the footage at all. We do get tons of Spideys from across the multiverse though, and a very angry Spider-Man 2099. It seems as though Sony is trying to hide the biggest surprises.
Here is the synopsis for Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse.
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.
Joaquim Dos Santos, Kemp Powers and Justin K. Thompson directed the sequel, working from a screenplay by Phil Lord, Chris Miller and David Callaham. Avi Arad, Amy Pascal, Lord, Miller and Christina Steinberg are on board as producers. Bob Persichetti, Peter Ramsey, Rodney Rothman, Aditya Sood, Rebecca Karch and Brian Bendis serve as executive producers.
The cast includes Shameik Moore, Hailee Steinfeld, Jake Johnson, Issa Rae, Daniel Kaluuya, Jason Schwartzman, Brian Tyree Henry, Luna Lauren Velez, Greta Lee, Rachel Dratch, Jorma Taccone, Shea Whigham and Oscar Isaac.
Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse served as a huge surprise in 2018. It arrived to glowing reviews and even went on to win the Oscar for Best Animated Feature. It was also a big hit, taking in $375 million at the box office against a relatively modest budget. That’s why Sony went big on the sequels, with a “part two” hitting theaters as well in 2024. So there is much more to come in the Spider-Verse.
Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse hits theaters on June 2, 2023.
