Here’s Your First Look at Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse

Into the Spider-Verse, which came out in 2018, followed 13-year-old Brooklyn native Miles Morales (Shameik Moore), who becomes one of many Spider-Men. The movie was a unique combination of computer animation and traditional hand-drawn techniques.

The sequel, Across the Spider-Verse, will see Spider-Man forced to reteam with Spider-Gwen (Hailee Steinfeld) and a new cadre of Spider-People to face off against a powerful villain.

Justin K. Thompson, Joaquim Dos Santos, and Kemp Powers are directing the movie.
