Available now is the Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse: The Art of the Movie Art Book Hardcover and Funko Pop. Joaquim Dos Santos, Kemp Powers, Justin K. Thompson’s intriguing animation film, Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse, made its anticipated debut on the big screen on June 2nd, 2023. It is loaded with continuity references. But this won't put non comic readers off. It is also firmly character driven and full of genuine emotion. It manages to balance it out perfectly with the humour. With Across the Spider-Verse continuing to explore the Spider-Man multiverse, The Spot seems like the perfect villain. According to director Kemp Powers, Valve's iconic videogame series Portal was a key influence on The Spot's aesthetic (via IndieWire). The disc begins with a short anti piracy ad. Which can be skipped via the next button on the dvd remote.

The pair also told TechRadar that most fan theories are "way off base". Make of that what you will before we enter potential spoiler territory, which is happening right about... now. I’m quite glad I didn’t see the first film, in the end, since I’d have struggled to sit through it if it’s just more of the same, flashing a load of nonsense before my eyes, but with the easy option to switch it off. Creating the Ultimate Spider-Man movie. Fourteen mins on the creation of the movie. Pretty absorbing stuff and it does go into good detail. It's not just a publicity piece. As stated, as well as having not seen ‘ Into the Spider-Verse‘, I have no knowledge of the ‘2099’ character since I don’t read the comic books. Hey, I’m just killing an afternoon to watch this. Miles carries on his double life. He reunites with Gwen. But she's got a problem. Then Miles meets his arch nemesis. Supposedly. The Spot!

Lord added: "The writers and directors [on Spider-Man: No Way Home] are all buddies of ours, so we sort of have been in the loop as far as what's going on [in other movies]. And we are always trying to make sure we're not stepping on each other's toes and telling different types of stories, and different themes, and all that stuff – because people want an original story that feels new and interesting. It's our job to give it to them." Occasionally, descriptive text pops up onscreen, such as describing the word ‘Hammerspace’ when it’s mentioned,plus with someclever dialogue, such as when one character says “Go to Helvetica!”, another responds, “Bold!” Spider-Man 2099 is one of the new main cast members in Across the Spider-Verse. (Image credit: Sony Pictures) Issa Rae ( Insecure) will play Jessica Drew, aka Spider-Woman, who'll be pregnant in the film. Shea Wigham ( Boardwalk Empire, True Detective) voices Captain Stacy, the father of Steinfeld's Spider-Gwen, in his first-ever voice acting role. Jorma Taccona ( The Lonely Island) plays a multiversal version of The Vulture.

Lord and Miller have also hinted it might tie into theMCU and Sony's wider Spider-Man universe (SSU). Speaking on the Happy Sad Confusedpodcast, Miller said: "The multiverse is big and wide, and all things grow. Why would you think [that in] a multiverse, in which many things are possible, that [those things are] not related?" After reuniting with Gwen Stacy, Brooklyn’s full-time, friendly neighbourhood Spider-Man is catapulted across the Multiverse, where he encounters a team of Spider-People charged with protecting its very existence. But when the heroes clash on how to handle a new threat, Miles finds himself pitted against the other Spiders and must redefine what it means to be a hero so he can save the people he loves most." But then it does suddenly slow down pace wise in the final act. I can say this without spoilers: that's because it's there for a cliffhanger, and there is a third movie to come. Given Gwen’s style, one Reddit user wondered whether this character was actually trans. Now, can we have a film where we’re not getting into this? She’s just a teenage girl. The Redditor said they thought that teenagers have more to think about their gender identity than Pythagoras’ theorem. I countered – No, the former is nothing I had to concern myself with when I was at school, and was too busy trying to speak to girls, instead.After a battle with the Vulture, which also brings in Spider-Man 2099 ( Oscar Isaac) into it, but there’s a lot more interaction when The Spot ( Jason Schwartzman). As such, I also didn’t understand the way the years work in this film, as the ‘present day’ in Brooklyn, is set in 1610 AD, plus there’s other multiverses such as a LEGO universe in 13122 AD. Plus, there’s even one in Mumbai – as Mumbatten, not Manhattan; and Neva York 998 AD. A new animated Spider-Man movie. Sequel to 2018's 'Spider-Man: Into the Spider-verse.' This will not make much sense if you've not seen that first film, so go and do it now if you haven't. Initially, we thought Spider-Man 2099 would be Miles' new mentor. However, with Peter B. Parker confirmed to return, plus Spider-Man 2099 grappling with Miles in every trailer, it seems they'll end up clashing. The story synopsis also makes out that a Spidey civil war is on the way, so maybe Miles and Spider-Man 2099 become the figureheads of each faction, with Gwen caught in the middle. Speaking to EW, Miller teased: "He [Spider-Man 2009] is not the villain of the movie, but he's sort of an antagonist to Miles because they both think that what they're doing is the right thing." The first film was a shade under two hours, which could’ve been reasonable, but this one is140 minutes, and really drags.

Spider-Man: Across The Spider-Verse has opening credits which are like a bubblegum nightmare with pastel shades of colour. That is the only issue anyone could have with this movie. The slowing down and leaving it hanging that is, not that more is to come. Because otherwise it really an amazing film. It's a PG certificate so a bit too much perhaps for the very young to take in. I will say though it doesn't have anything, even with all that the animation does, that should bother epileptics or anyone who can't handle flashing lights. I am in the latter group and was fine with it. So that was nice. The Spot is a villain taken from Spider-Man comics. He's not the biggest threat there compared to some. And has been regarded as lame. But then things get threatening here. And in addition to his increasing problems of balancing things, Miles now has to contend with a threat to the Multiverse.....

Very little is known about this movie. Well, that's the case if you haven't seen Across the Spider-Verse yet. We could discuss its ending here, but we don't want to ruin any of the big surprises for you. As mentioned in our introduction, you can read our spoiler-heavy ending explainer to find out how it sets up Beyond the Spider-Verse.

Amongst all the multiverses, in this one, it begins with Peter being dead at the hands (or claws) of the Lizard. Her cop Dad, George Stacy ( Shea Whigham), wants to take in the culprit, and thinks it’s her (albeit, he doesn’t know her real identity because she’s in a masked outfit), but that would make for a very short film. Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse's sequel, titled Beyond the Spider-Verse, is expected to land in cinemas on March 29, 2024. Its release date was revealed alongside Across the Spider-Verse's revised launch date, although Beyond the Spider-Verse's arrival could change if it needs additional development time (or the ongoing writers' strike impacts it). Even so, an amazing movie experience. Part three could be a while. No eta at the time of writing. All good things to those who wait. Miles Morales will continue to explore the Spider-Man multiverse in the animated sequel. (Image credit: Sony Pictures)Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse is rated PG. Parental guidance is suggested, meaning some material may not be suitable for children. Parents are urged to give "parental guidance." The movie may contain some material parents might not like for their young children. 9.1 You have never seen animation like this before. This does take a few mins to settle down. But after the first set piece battle, you will be well into this. There is one sequence that those who are sensitive to flashing lights will have to close their eyes for. But just one. Raising a Hero: nine minutes on some of the characters and their dynamics. Also interesting to hear what is said. As for Spider-Woman, Chris Miller explained she'll be a mentor to Gwen and that her movie look is inspired by a "comic run when she's pregnant during Secret Wars". Spider-Woman isn't the only Spider-Force individual that Spider-Gwen is close to, either. She's also pretty close to Spider-Punk, which makes Miles a little more than jealous of their friendship. The Spot is the primary villain for the next two animated Spider-Man movies. (Image credit: Sony Pictures)
