Your friendly neighborhood web-slinging hero will break the barrier of the multiverse once again!

Miles Morales is back for more universal adventures as this time multiple Spider-Men throughout the multiverse will be making an appearance.

Sony would begin developing the sequel to Into the Spider-Verse before the film’s release in 2018, with the writing and directing team attached. It was set to focus on the relationship between Moore’s Miles and Steinfeld’s Gwen Stacy/Spider-Woman.. The film was officially announced in November 2019 and animation work began in June 2020, with a different visual style for each of the six universes visited by the characters.

During, the 2021 Comic Con Experience, a prologue for the film was released, revealing the title and the fact that the film is a two-part sequel. The third film was also titled, ‘Spider-Man: Beyond the Spider-Verse’ and given a release date of March 29th, 2024. On December 13th, Sony dropped the first official look at ‘Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse’ depicting a contemplative moment between Morales talking to his mother Rio as they look out on a view of New York City. Followed by, Miles swinging and swooping across the city and beyond with Gwen Stacy/Spider-Gwen through a wormhole-like tunnel that spans various dimensions.

Following the release of the official trailer, Sony Pictures has dropped the official poster for Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse. The poster itself continues to showcase a diverse amount of Spider-people from familiar to new variants to be featured throughout the film.
