The highly anticipated sequel to Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse, titled Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse, has Marvel fans eagerly awaiting its debut. An impressively large and diverse cast in both the vocal talent and storyline elements brings together this new version of everyone’s favorite webbed superhero. The sequel to 2018’s Oscar-winning blockbuster finally arrives this June and a new image released reveals that Miles Morales, voiced by Shameik Moore, will be battling an unexpected foe.
The Wrap published a comprehensive article celebrating Sony Pictures Animation’s 20th anniversary and revealed a new image for their upcoming sequel. The image gives an up close and personal view of the inner turmoil within the Spider-verse as revealed in the trailer. Miles Morales can be seen pinned against a wall by Spider-Man 2099 which could be in their Spider-Verse central hub. It looks like this sequel is not just about The Vulture and The Spot as villains, but rather will have Oscar Isaac’s Miguel O’Hara aka Spider-Man 2099 as a central antagonist during the film.

Across the Spider-Verse looks to be an even more ambitious film than its lauded prequel, with senior animator teasing they originally had an Avengers: Endgame-like ending for this film. Phil Lord and Chris Miller, producers for the sequel, spoke about how their new movie is pushing boundaries and stoking excitement.
“The things we’re doing in this new Spider-Verse movie are breaking the pipelines all over again. But everyone’s excited about it and not just terrified,” they said.
Additionally, they claimed that it will “definitely [be] more insane." With all the marketing thus far indicating such grand-scale production, Across the Spider-Verse promises an extraordinary show and an out-of-this-world experience that’ll be sure to leave audiences gripping their seats.
Phil Lord has also shared that the sequel will feature six different animation styles, in contrast to the single style used in the previous film.
Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse is a film directed by Joaquim Dos Santos, Kemp Powers, and Justin K. Thompson, written by Phil Lord, Christopher Miller, and David Callaham. It is scheduled for release on June 2, 2023.
“The first film had one animation style that dominates the movie. This movie has six,” Lord revealed. “So we’re taking those tools, adding all the things we learned on The Mitchells Vs The Machines, and then growing them further to accommodate the ambition of this movie. Which is to wow you every time you enter a new environment, and also to make sure that the style of the movie reflect the story, and that the images are driven by feelings, as opposed to some egg-headed art project. Which it also is, by the way!”
