Following his thrilling jaunt through the Multiverse in 2023’s Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse, Miles Morales will face a surprising new villain when he comes back for his next appearance with Sony Pictures.
Miles’ last Spider-Verse appearance saw him go toe-to-toe with a terrifying new big bad in Jason Schwartzman’s The Spot after 2018’s Into the Spider-Verse highlighted Liev Schreiber’s Kingpin.
But even with The Spot already set to play a pivotal role in Miles’ next theatrical release, Spider-Man: Beyond the Spider-Verse, he’ll be far from the only obstacle standing in the young Spider-Man’s way.

This past January, teen animator Preston Mutanga released a recreation of the trailer for “Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse” using Legos. The trailer became such a viral sensation that he got a call from the film’s writer-producers Phil Lord and Chris Miller, who wanted him to make a scene for the film.
“We found out that it was a 14-year-old kid who made it and we were like, ‘This looks incredibly sophisticated for a nonadult, nonprofessional to have made,” Miller told The New York Times. “It blew us all away, including some of the best animators in the world.”
Moviegoers can see Mutanga’s work when the film’s antagonist, The Spot, goes traveling from one alternate universe to another through interdimensional portals. One of the places he visits is a miniature Lego city, where his arrival prompts a plastic panic and attracts the attention of that universe’s Spider-Man,...

They say that two heads are better than one, but when it comes to 2024’s Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse sequel, it could be a case of six heads are better than one. A wild theory has emerged that the infamous Sinister Six will be the big bads of Spider-Man: Beyond the Spider-Verse, and if you were watching Across the Spider-Verse closely, the lineup could’ve been hiding in plain sight.
Across the Spider-Verse cast Jason Schwartzman’s Spot as the main villain, but alongside a smorgasbord of Spider-People, you might’ve spotted Alfred Molina’s Doctor Octopus, Donald Glover’s live-action debut as Prowler, and more obscure foes like Mooseterio from Earth-8311. Away from equally ominous theories that Miguel O’Hara/Spider-Man 2099 (Oscar Isaac) will emerge as a vampiric villain in Beyond the Spider-Verse, the Sinister Six get an actual nod in the movie’s jaw-dropping finale.

You know what Marvel should do? Only make Avengers movies. At this point, just about everyone seems to agree that we have too much of the Marvel Cinematic Universe. But when "Avengers: Infinity War" and "Avengers: Endgame" hit theaters, it felt like something worth experiencing. The same went for "Spiderman: No Way Home." You went to see it not because you were expecting some deep exploration of the human condition, or revelatory insights into our current cultural moment, but because it felt like an event rather than a movie.
Not to get all Marty Scorsese on you, but the man nailed it with his infamous opinion piece that separated "cinema" from the "theme parks" these superhero blockbusters have become.

Imagine you're an everyday citizen living in the biggest city in the Marvel world. You wake up, head out to grab some coffee, and make idle chitchat with your neighbors while minding your own business. Suddenly, you glimpse some brightly-colored figure swooping overhead and pay it absolutely no mind. It's just Spider-Man, likely on his way to save the day once again.
Every world in the Spider-Verse has its own spin on this typical series of events, from Miles Morales (Shameik Moore) in the Earth-1610 universe to Peter B. Parker's (Jake Johnson) Earth-616 to Gwen Stacy's (Hailee Steinfeld) colorful and impressionistic Earth-65. But while the broad strokes remain the same -- there's always a Spider-Person bitten by that radioactive spider, living in the big city, and protecting the people from all sorts of threats -- the details diverge in strange and unpredictable ways.

In "Spider-Man: Scross the Spider-Verse," it's a year after Miles Morales (Shameik Moore) destroyed the collider that helped stabilize the Multiverse, and he must embrace the responsibilities of becoming Brooklyn's only Spider-Man. The kid does so with unbelievable dedication and gusto — perhaps a bit too much because as he stretches himself thin while balancing his public and private personas, the weight of his double life is taking a swift toll on him. To complicate matters, a new villain emerges in the scene, harboring a vendetta against Miles for a string of unfortunate reasons, forcing Miles to once again step up to the demanding mantle of balancing great power with even greater responsibility.

In the world of Spider-Man comics, Miles Morales is definitely one of the coolest variations of the web-slinging hero. The Afro-Latino teenager who was first introduced in 2011 by Brian Michael Bendis and Sara Pichelli is a standout version of Spidey not just because he represents people who have rarely seen themselves in comics before, but also because he has some pretty sweet powers.
In addition to his basic Spidey sense and the web-shooting abilities that also allow Peter Parker to tie up villains and swing between buildings, Marvel comics Miles ended up equipped with a few extra talents after he was bitten by a different spider than the one that bit Peter. Namely, in a technique that some real-life arachnids use, Miles can camouflage himself and become near-invisible. As if all that's not enough, he also has a move called "venom blast,...

When an antagonist of the barely villain-of-the-week variety shows up at the beginning of "Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse," everyone, including Miles Morales (Shameik Moore), thoroughly underestimates him. Known as The Spot (Jason Schwartzman), this comic supervillain attempts to steal a convenience store Atm but is quickly intercepted by Miles after being nearly beaten up by the store manager. As Spot's arrival coincides with Miles' adjustment as the only Spider-Man in Brooklyn, it is easy to mistake this rather hilarious sequence as a tongue-in-cheek attempt at lightening the mood — while The Spot is pretty goofy, things quickly take a more sinister turn after his true motivations are revealed.
It is easy to deduce why The Spot is initially mistaken as comic relief against the backdrop of the solemn events that fuel the film, as his brand of villainy seems innocuous, even endearing at first.

In 2018's "Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse," different spider-powered individuals and villains from other dimensions converged on New York -- and also on the life of the newest Spider-Man, Miles Morales (Shameik Moore). In the long-awaited sequel, "Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse," Miles travels to some of those dimensions, and he's not the only one. Other major characters, like new villain The Spot (Jason Schwartzman), returning heroine Gwen Stacy (Hailee Steinfeld) and dubious ally Miguel O'Hara (Oscar Isaac) do their share of multiverse tripping as well.
Several universes are seen onscreen, including some only glimpsed through portals. We're ranking the ones that primary characters actually set foot -- or head, or arm -- in. If they do so only in flashback, that counts. From worlds inspired by one small change to others with wholly different aesthetics and physics, here are the 13 dimensions...

Are your Spider-Senses tingling? That's because this article is about to discuss major spoilers for "Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse." You have been warned!
2018's "Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse" had a lot of fun playing around with the idea that -- for most fans, at least -- if you've seen one "Spider-Man" movie, then you've seen them all. The screenplay relies on a series of recurring gags where various Spider-Mans recount their specific backstories and origins, humorously breezing past all the tropes we ought to know by now (a radioactive spider?? Uncle Ben dies?? What?!) so that the film could get to the really interesting stuff ... including the payoff where Miles Morales (voiced by Shameik Moore) finally narrates his own journey and earns his official comic book cover. The movie passes that baton on to "Across the Spider-Verse," though with one added wrinkle.
As we learn around the midpoint of the sequel,...

"Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse" had big shoes and expectations to fill. The sequel is coming after an Oscar win and a revolution in Hollywood studio animation that has inspired experimentation in every major studio. And yet, the movie not only exceeded expectations but also crushes them. This is a grand achievement in myth building and deconstruction, with the film pulling not an "Empire Strikes Back" but a "Matrix Reloaded," interrogating the idea and tropes of the hero, while continuing Miles' poignant coming-of-age story.
Unsurprisingly, the film is gorgeous. It is easy to take that for granted but to see it with your own eyes defies description and expectations. Like the first film, it breaks apart the rules of animation to challenge the entire medium, but "Across the Spider-Verse" goes beyond, breaking film itself like it's the second coming of Chuck Jones and Michael Maltese's "Duck Amuck."

The hype train for Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse was chugging along after the incredibly positive reception of the first movie. In fact, people were already saying it was better than its predecessor, Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse. The continued adventures of Miles Morales’ journey into the multiverse promised an even crazier ride, with a newer villain, The Spot, as well as additional variations of Spider-Man from other universes than we’ve already seen. The first film’s success may have even inspired the direction in which Spider-Man: No Way Home decided to take.
According to Deadline, the Thursday previews for Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse, which sees the return of Shameik Moore and Hailee Steinfeld in the roles of Miles and Gwen, brought in a whopping $16 million. This makes it the second-best preview night for an animated film ever. The best preview night belongs to another superhero-themed film with Disney/Pixar’s Incredibles 2,...

The wait is finally over and, nearly five years after the original "Into the Spider-Verse" introduced the first cinematic version of Miles Morales to the world, the beloved Marvel superhero is back in "Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse." Much like the 2018 film, producers Phill Lord and Chris Miller helped inject a great deal of humor into the film, having penned the screenplay alongside David Callaham. While there are many, many great jokes peppered throughout the sequel, one joke stands a cut above the rest as not only deeply hilarious but as a demonstration of precisely what makes these films work so well.
Towards the end of the first act of the movie when things are starting to come together and we're beginning to explore some of the other universes within the Spider-Verse, we take a little visit to Lego Spidey's world.

When you open up the entire Spider-Verse, you’re going to meet a lot of Spider-Men. But, “Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse” brought the appearance of more than just Spider-men, -women, and -animals — it also brought a few major live-action characters.
Once again, spoiler warning; this is where you turn back if you don’t want to know who we’re talking about just yet.
Ok, still here? Let’s get into it. For some, it felt inevitable that the core three Spider-Man might show up somehow. And yes, two of them did. Repurposed footage of both Andrew Garfield’s and Tobey Maguire’s take on the wallcrawler showed up in the movie. But there are a few major characters who showed up in the flesh.

The central gimmick of both 2018's "Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse" and its new follow-up, "Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse," is that — thanks to multiverse shenanigans — any version of Spider-Man can appear and interact with any other version. The films center primarily on Miles Morales (Shameik Moore) and a spider-powered version of Gwen Stacy (Hailee Steinfeld), but incorporate dozens of other Spider-People in supporting roles, including some of the stranger ones, like the anthropomorphic pig Spider-Ham (John Mulaney) or the rumpled-rock-flyer-constructed Spider-Punk (Daniel Kaluuya). Many Spider-Fans entered these films with mental notepads, eager to see their own favorite version of Spider-Man represented on the big screen. Personally, I was chuffed to see the Scarlet Spider (Andy Samberg), the 1990s Spider-Man clone in a ripped sweatshirt.
The "Spider-Verse" gimmick of "infinite inclusion" also tapped into the movies' thematic underpinnings. The 2018 film stated outwardly...

The premise again is that there are that there are many Spider-Heroes, across multiple universes. We are back with Miles Morales (voice of Shameik Moore), who has settled into the spider role in his universe. He has a new nemesis, The Spot (Jason Schwatzman) a faceless humanoid whose spotted body can form real holes. Complications arise as The Spot gains more power, which has another universe’s Spider-Woman Gwen (Hailee Steinfeld) visiting Miles again, renewing some feelings they had as a couple. When The Spot escapes into the multiverse, Miles follows close behind, ending up in several surreal places with several different Spider-Heroes, including his multi-universe mentor Peter Parker (Jake Johnson...

Plot: One year after becoming Spider-Man, Miles Morales (Shameik Moore) is still trying to juggle school, his home life, and being a superhero. His life gets even more complicated when Spider-Gwen (Hailee Steinfeld) re-emerges into his universe to keep tabs on The Spot (Jason Schwartzman), an enemy Miles already humiliated. To his horror, this one-time joke becomes powerful enough to endanger the fabric of the multi-verse, putting him on a collision course with The Spider-Society, led by the tormented Miguel O’Hara (Oscar Isaac).
Review: I firmly believe that Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse is the definitive Spider-Man movie. I still remember going to see the first film and thinking it would just be some disposable kids’ movie, only to discover that producers Phil Lord and Christopher Miller were reinventing the superhero movie in animated form. In that film, I saw things that I never thought I’d see in a superhero film,...

We're a little over a week out from the release of "Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse" — the highly-anticipated sequel to the 2018 Oscar-winning movie — and the first reactions to the film have arrived on social media. And according to critics who were lucky enough to catch an early screening, "Across the Spider-Verse" is "terrific," an "incredible accomplishment," and the "ultimate Spider-Man experience." As you might've expected, everyone is going ga-ga over the work put into the animation, noting how it's "impossible to see it all [and] experience it all in one sitting."
Collider's Steven Weintraub echoed that with his reaction: "Absolutely loved ['Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse.'] Wanted to push pause about a hundred times to study the incredible artistry on display. Cannot recommend this film enough and already looking forward to seeing it again." Characters being highlighted include "Get Out" star Daniel Kaluuya's Hobart "Hobie" Brown/Spider-Punk who uses a guitar as a weapon,...

Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse was a visual marvel, but it sounds like the upcoming sequel will be pushing those visuals to the extreme. In fact, Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse co-director Joaquim Dos Santos told Empire that the movie includes so many visually-distinct worlds that they’ve “essentially made five films in one.“
In addition to the universe of Miles Morales (Shameik Moore), Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse will include Gwen’s (Hailee Steinfeld) Earth-65, Miguel O’Hara’s (Oscar Isaac) Nueva York, Spider-Punk’s (Daniel Kaluuya) New London, the India-inspired Mumbattan, and a fifth dimension which is being kept under wraps. “It goes hard,” said writer/producer Phil Lord. “The visuals will be jaw-dropping.” You can check out an image from the Mumbattan universe courtesy of Empire below.
“The first film was about bringing characters into Miles’ dimension,” explained writer/producer Christopher Miller. “This is about Miles heading off into others.

Mia Goth will reprise one of her two roles in “X” as the story of “MaXXXine” takes place after the events of “X.” The sequel will follow the sole survivor of that film’s horrific events as she continues her journey towards fame, setting out to make it as an actress in 1980s Los Angeles.
