Needless to say, Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse is one of the most anticipated films of the summer. The sequel to 2018’s Oscar-winning Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse will likely outdo it with its plethora of characters, animation styles, and storyline.
The official Twitter account of the film recently posted a new image of Spider-Man 2099, aka Miguel O’Hara, who we originally saw in an end credits scene of Into the Spider-Verse, wearing an orange costume with red and indigo accents. This is a huge difference from the previously seen navy blue outfit with red Spider-Man emblem.
However, looking at the trailer, it just looks like some sort of multiverse, power surge, glitch thing, and not really a costume change. Buuuuuut, it could also be a glimpse of what Spider-Man 2099 looks like in other parallel universes. Who knows, right? We’ll just have to wait and see.
Moving on, Across the Spider-Verse, like its predecessor, will expose us to new Spider-People while also bringing back some familiar ones. O’Hara is responsible for gathering Spider-People from all across the multiverse, including new characters such as Spider-Punk, Jessica Drew aka Spider-Woman, Spider-Man India aka Pavitra Prabhakar, among others.
Shameik Moore, Hailee Steinfeld, and Jake Johnson return as Miles Morales, Gwen Stacy, and Peter B. Parker, respectively. Oscar Isaac plays Spider-Man 2099, Issa Rae as Jessica Drew, Daniel Kaluuya as Spider-Punk, and Jason Schwartzman as villain The Spot round out the voice cast. Tyree Henry plays Miles’ father, Jefferson Davis, and Luna Lauren Vélez plays Miles’ mother, Rio Morales.
The film is directed by Joaquim Dos Santos, Kemp Powers, and Justin K. Thompson, who will also act as directors on the film’s already-announced sequel, Spider-Man: Beyond the Spider-Verse.
Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse will debut on 2 June 2023, and Spider-Man: Beyond the Spider-Verse is set to premiere on 29 March 2024.
