Across the Spider-Verse trailer breakdown: the 20 biggest Easter eggs and secrets
The Across the Spider-Verse trailer is a madcap dash across the multiverse: Miles Morales encounters (and is confronted by) several Spider-People, from more well-known faces such as Spider-Man 2099 to bigger deep cuts like Spider-Horse (yes, that’s a real thing).

After a call to “stop Spider-Man”, those waiting in the multiverse lobby get very confused – and start all pointing at each other.
It’s not a Spider-Verse without the most popular Spideys, right?
