Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse - Latest Trailer, New Cast, And Everything Else We Know
The 2018 film Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse shouldn't exist. It goes against everything we expect from superhero movies and the big studio system behind them. It's animated when the rest are live-action. It's about Miles Morales, instead of Peter Parker. It also has not one Spider-Man, but seven of them (two of which are Peter Parker, though he's a supporting character at best). It doesn't pull inspiration from a classic Spider-Man story, but rather one of the most complex and goofy ones, in which Spider-Man works with all of the other Spider-People from other Marvel Earths. It's a weird movie. It's a really, really good, weird movie, though. It uses its weirdness to tell a satisfying story about responsibility, family, and self-confidence that works as well as, or better than, every Spider-Man movie to come before it.
It not only is a great movie, but also a commercial success. It did quite well for Sony Pictures, despite being an animated picture not aimed squarely at kids. On a $90 million budget, Spider-Verse raked in $384 million. It also sits atop the other Spider-flicks among critics with a 97% fresh rating, higher than any other Spider-Man movie. The closest are Spider-Man 2 and Spider-Man: No Way Home, each of which sits at 93% fresh.
We're excited, then, to see what happens with the sequel, which will introduce the Spider-Man of 2099, Miguel O'Hara, as well as Spider-Woman, Spider-Punk, and a bunch of other favorites.
Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse is currently scheduled for release on June 2, 2023.
Across the Spider-Verse is being co-directed by Joaquim Dos Santos (The Legend of Korra, Voltron: Legendary Defender), Kemp Powers (Soul), and Justin K. Thompson (Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse). Phil
