Since 2002, there have been three live-action Spider-Man franchises, with a different actor playing the lead role of Peter Parker in each. The most recent of the eight live-action films even brought the three Peters together to nói qua the big screen and embody the Spider-Man pointing meme. địa chỉ on two Venom entries, the meme that is Morbius, và one animated masterpiece, Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse, and you have a lot of Spider-Man or Spider-adjacent trips to the movies over the past two decades. On đứng top of all that, we’re currently living in the multiverse era of superhero films: The MCU’s current saga of movies and TV shows is named after this very concept of parallel universes, while DC Films is releasing its own multiverse blockbuster just two weeks from now.

Into this glut of Spider-Man và multiverse content comes the sequel to lớn Into the Spider-Verse, Across the Spider-Verse. You might expect Across the Spider-Verse, which arrives less than two years after the release of Spider-Man: No Way Home, to chiến bại some of its predecessor’s novelty in an overcrowded field of superhero movies. But that’s not an issue for the team responsible for the follow-up to the Oscar-winning Into the Spider-Verse. Writer-producers Phil Lord and Chris Miller, along with new writer Dave Callaham (Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings) and a trio of new directors (Joaquim Dos Santos, Kemp Powers, và Justin K. Thompson), have ensured that the sequel is bursting with the same creative energy that made the original an instant classic.

Just as Into the Spider-Verse did before it, Across the Spider-Verse uses the audience’s familiarity with Spider-Man as a consistent source of humor. But it also enlists those Spider-tropes to lớn help chart its course through a frenetic, multiverse-jumping story that elevates its scale & ambition in myriad ways. Now a year older, Miles Morales (voiced by Shameik Moore) faces greater challenges and a lot more Spider-people as he navigates his dual life as a high schooler và burgeoning superhero. While the first movie brought five of Miles’s multiversal counterparts lớn his world as he became Brooklyn’s very own Spider-Man, Across the Spider-Verse sends Miles lớn alternate dimensions full of new possibilities.


Before catching up with Miles, though, the film focuses its opening sequence on Gwen Stacy (Hailee Steinfeld). After returning khổng lồ her world, Spider-Woman giao dịch with her own struggles lớn navigate her solitary life on Earth-65 as her father, Capt. George Stacy (Shea Whigham), continues to lớn hunt a superhero he doesn’t realize is his daughter. Across the Spider-Verse positions Gwen as something of a second lead, presenting the second chapter of Miles’s story partly from her perspective and granting her a more complete backstory in the process. (The opener also works as a preview for what we can likely expect from an animated Spider-Woman spinoff, which producer Amy Pascal recently teased is in the works—as is a live-action Miles Morales movie.)

It’s through Gwen that we’re introduced lớn the Spider Society, an elite task force of Spider-beings led by Miguel O’Hara (Oscar Isaac). This group ties into the events of Into the Spider-Verse, as they take it upon themselves lớn hold the fabric of the multiverse together against threats lượt thích the Spot (Jason Schwartzman), an initially unassuming villain who harnesses the power nguồn of Super Colliders to strengthen his abilities to lớn manipulate the interdimensional portals on his body.

On Gwen’s Earth-65, the film also provides its first taste of just how much its animation has evolved since the last installment, even after it reshaped the industry in its image. While Into the Spider-Verse blended the anime stylings of Peni Parker và the Looney Tunes aesthetics of Peter Porker into the dominant animation style used to lớn distinguish Miles’s Brooklyn, Across the Spider-Verse uses each universe to lớn reflect its respective hero, making every quality environment feel lượt thích an extension of its characters.


Every world is a new canvas for the Across the Spider-Verse artists lớn experiment with, and six distinct animation styles are used khổng lồ clever & often stunning effect. Gwen’s Earth showcases a watercolor-wash style inspired by Spider-Gwen cocreator Robbi Rodriguez’s comic book covers; it looks like a living painting và reflects Gwen’s emotions. Mumbattan, inspired by 1970s comics in India, is a cross between Mumbai and Manhattan that serves as the trang chủ of Pavitr Prabhakar (Karan Soni). New London, trang chủ to Hobie Brown (Daniel Kaluuya), consists of images stitched together in a collage-style tribute khổng lồ London’s 1980s punk scene. Nueva York, the stomping grounds of Spider-Man 2099’s Miguel O’Hara and the film’s Spider Society HQ, is a techno-futuristic vision of new york that draws from Syd Mead’s illustrations. The ever-shifting animation styles và changes in setting showroom new dialects khổng lồ the franchise’s visual language as Sony Pictures’ Imageworks VFX team continues to lớn transmute comics into movies with astounding fluidity.

Time spent with the film’s many new Spider-people is short given how much ground there is to lớn cover, but each character still makes a lasting impression thanks lớn the personality breathed into them by their designs & voice acting. Along with main additions Jessica Drew (Issa Rae), Ben Reilly (Andy Samberg), Hobie, Pavitr, & the menacing O’Hara, every supporting Spidey who’s introduced will leave you wanting to lớn learn more about them. (Even, or perhaps especially, the Spider-Cat that drops in for just a moment.) But their time is limited for good reason, as Across the Spider-Verse stays grounded by keeping its focus on Miles, Gwen, & their respective families.

Miles’s evolving relationship with his parents, Rio (Luna Lauren Vélez) and Jeff (Brian Tyree Henry), still serves as the film’s lifeblood as he hides more & more behind his secretive double life. Even with all of the jokes that stem from self-aware Spider-humor, some of the biggest laughs come from situations in which Miles is just being a 15-year-old kid, whether he’s getting chewed out by his parents in front of friends và family or enduring a meeting with his mom, dad, & college admissions counselor. Và quieter scenes, such as Miles & Gwen spending time atop the Williamsburgh Savings bank Tower, gazing on an inverted new york City skyline as they hang upside down together, make some of the most lasting impressions. In Spider-Man stories, the life và struggles of Peter Parker have always been as important as, if not more important than, the adventures of the costumed nhân vật himself, và that tradition lives on as Miles endures trials of his own.


For all the spellbinding Spider-people & alluring alternate dimensions that Across the Spider-Verse boasts, the film works so well as a sequel because it never loses sight of Miles’s central coming-of-age story & its examination of what makes him unique in the company of an entire Spider Society. The film engages with that question in a clever, meta way as Miguel explains lớn Miles the definitive “canon” events that are immovable across time & space & the danger that arises when those crucial moments are altered. This idea binds Miles not just to lớn the other animated Spider-people in the franchise, but also khổng lồ the concept and history of Spider-Man in the character’s totality. That connection sets up Across the Spider-Verse’s seamless references to events và imagery from Sony’s greater Spider-Verse, the MCU, và beyond—including some live-action crossovers—without those callbacks ever feeling cheap or forced. The film has earned the right khổng lồ draw on those events by teaching the audience how drastically different these worlds’ environments can look in the course of two movies.

The integration of existing canon hearkens back lớn an idea from the first film & challenges it. In Into the Spider-Verse, Miles và his new Spider-friends bond through their shared losses—the deaths of their loved ones và the failures that they still blame themselves for. Miles comes to understand that those moments helped define their journeys to becoming superheroes. But Across the Spider-Verse asks what happens when those moments don’t happen and the canon is broken. Who vày you become then?

Far too many multiverse movies use the concept of parallel universes simply as a means to lớn an end, a storytelling device that can bend narrative rules khổng lồ bring characters back to life, transport them to strange new worlds, or, in the case of No Way Home, bring three generations of Spider-Men together in a crowd-pleasing reunion special. (If you’ve forgotten how it all happened, they arrive in the same universe thanks lớn a little magical mishap amid Doctor Strange & Peter’s college admissions scandal.) But in some of the more exceptional entries in the genre, such as Into the Spider-Verse or another Oscar winner, Everything Everywhere All at Once, the storytelling device has the greater purpose of exploring the root of what makes someone unique when there are infinite versions of them across the multiverse.

For Miles, the answer lớn who he becomes will have lớn wait for another day. Across the Spider-Verse ends with a cruel cliff-hanger, but also with the promise that the story will soon resume in Beyond the Spider-Verse. (The conclusion lớn the trilogy is due in theaters next March.) & if Miles’s next chapter is anything like the preceding two, Sony Pictures Animation will have put the finishing touches on another Spidey classic.
