"Miles Morales returns for the next chapter of the Oscar-winning Spider-Verse saga, an epic adventure that will transport Brooklyn’s full-time, friendly neighborhood Spider-Man across the Multiverse to join forces with Gwen Stacy and a new team of Spider-People to face off with a villain more powerful than anything they have ever encountered."
Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse stars many acclaimed actors, including Shameik Moore, Hailee Steinfeld, Jake Johnson, and Issa Rae, among numerous others. The film was directed by Joaquim Dos Santos, Kemp Powers, and Justin K.Thompsan. It was written by Phil Lord, Christopher Miller, and David Callaham. Amy Pascal, Christina Steinberg, and Avi Arad acted as executive producers.
Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse promises to be an exciting adventure for viewers
The trailer for Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse gives viewers a glimpse into Miles Morales's life as he tries to navigate his position in the vast spider-verse. He is seen reminiscing about his adventures in the past and reconsidering his actions in the future as he wonders how he could make an impact on society.
However, as he's doing that, Gwen Stacy interrupts him and enters the scene through an inter-dimensional portal and invites him to take a tour through the city. Both the characters can then be seen falling into new dimensions as they explore the multiverse. However, trouble befalls the multiverse as new villains arrive from a different dimension, and the viewers are left on a cliffhanger since Miles' role in the battle is shown very briefly.
It'll be interesting to see Miles Morales' role in the battle that ensues in the film and how or if he finally finds his sense of purpose in the vast multiverse. Also, the trailer also saw Miles encounter Spiderman 2099 (voiced by Oscar Isaac) and get into a fight with him. It'll be interesting to see how the film explores the dynamic between both the characters as viewers are yet to meet the character of Spiderman 2099 in the films.
