Spider-Man Across the Spider-Verse

       Marvel fanatics hit social media platforms with anticipation in hearing the soon-to-be release of Sony’s newest movie, Spider-Man Across the Spider-Verse. December 14th of 2018 is the date that Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse was sent into theaters, grabbing the attention of movie goers and comic readers all over the world. Miles Morales, teen boy living in Brooklyn New York, becomes the new Spider man of his universe and joins five other spider-powered people to defeat KingPin from ripping apart all of their universes. 

       After the release of marvel’s Spider-Man fan favorite, there was a small teaser at the end of the movie that practically had fans begging for more content of this new Spider-Man. The teaser showed Miles laying on his bed, jamming out to his music as usual, when a portal opens above him and Spider-Gwen appearing, asking Miles if he’s ready for another adventure. So, of course spider fans would be expecting another movie. And finally the Sony producers dropped the trailer for the new movie on December 13th of 2022! Fans went straight to social media after viewing the trailer, because they got to see the spider superheroes from almost every universe!

      Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse is considered as a sequel to the first movie, so let’s dive into the trailer. The trailer opens up with Miles and his mom talking then a short flashback as to what happened in the previous movie. Then as movie watchers saw the teaser in the last movie, a portal opens up above Miles’ bed with Gwen Stacy appearing.  Miles Morales is joined by Gwen Stacy and many other spider-powered-people to fight the newest villain in the MCU; The Spot. This Spider-Creature can create inter dimensional portals which makes him a much more challenging enemy than the famous King Pin. After they travel through the portal a new world is shown with hundreds of people just like Miles. And once again old friends appear on the screen when we are greeted by Peter B. Parker, and from the looks of it, it seems as if Parker had finally settled down and started a family of his own. Considering the fact that he is dressed in a bathrobe and has a baby carrier strapped to his chest. Shortly a new character flies into the scene with a motorcycle and awesome Afro, the one and only Spider-Woman. Then another character is added to the scene who is known as the Spot. After meeting some new characters, the screen blacks out and then cuts back on, where we find every spider creature chasing miles as if they’re trying to attack him. And a short clip of a fight scene between The Spot and Miles is shown, leaving fans on the edge of their seats wondering what Miles could’ve done. 

      So many questions are to be asked such as, “why was everyone chasing after Miles?”What does The Spot have against our favorite Spider-Man? Are we all planning to dress up as the different spider people that may appear and take pictures at the movies?  And what is this new adventure that Marvel has brought us on this time? Hopefully, if everything goes as planned, all of our questions will be answered when the movie is released in theaters June 2023! If you live in the area, you can catch Miles and his spider people at  AMC Theater in Voorhees, Cinemark 16 in Somerdale, and the AMC located in Marlton.
