‘Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse’ Trailer Pits Miles Versus Spider-Man 2099

How many Spider-Mans is too many Spider-Mans?

To answer the question above: You can never have too many Spider-Mans?

The sequel to the wildly successful box office blockbuster, Spider-Man: Into The Spider-Verse, has an impressively intense and stunning first trailer. Back in 2018, the first film, which starred Shameik Moore (Wu-Tang: An American Saga) as Miles Morales, also made Oscars history, and audiences have been primed for Black and Borinquen superhero’s return.

In sharing this highly anticipated look at Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse, a major surprise is that the upcoming adventure will be a two-part affair.


Picking up right where the last film left off — SPOILER ALERT!!! — Miles lays in bed, listening to “Sunflower” by Post Malone and Swae Lee when a portal to Gwen Stacy (Hailee Steinfeld) returns from her universe.

From that point on, it is a mile-a-minute rollercoaster through alternate spaces and places. With the film looking to be a masterful step-up in the right direction, Miles cascades through multiple animated universes in a variety of art styles as he dukes it out with Spider-Man 2099 (voiced by Oscar Isaac, who appeared in the post-credit scene of the first movie.)

According to the official description, the upcoming sequel will “transport Brooklyn’s full-time, friendly neighborhood Spider-Man across the Multiverse to join forces with Gwen Stacy and a new team of Spider-People to face off with a villain more powerful than anything they have ever encountered.

Will it be someone from the larger Marvel Cinematic Multiverse? Or will it be someone directly tied to the Venom films that have teased a collaboration in its film?

Sony isn’t saying anything, but whatever the threat is, you can bet your bottom dollar that it will be a force that couldn’t be contained to just a single film.

The Peter Ramsey, Bob Persichetti, Rodney Rothman-directed picture took home an Academy Award for Best Animated Feature, making Ramsey the first Black American to be nominated for and win the distinction.

Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse (Part One) is slated to hit theaters on Oct. 7, 2022, with Part Two on the calendar to follow sometime in 2023.
