Chris Miller and Phil Lord ( 21 Jump Street, The LEGO Movie) are joined by David Callaham ( Ant-Man, Wonder Woman 1984) in crafting what is, without a doubt, the biggest Spider-Man story ever told onscreen. The hardest and most divisive part of Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse will no doubt be the story. are hiding start to come to light, Miles finds himself at an impasse with his Spider-Peers, kicking off a multi-dimensional fight that could determine the fate of any and everyone who wears the Spider-Man symbol. Miles and a new portal-hopping villain called The Spot (Jason Schwartzman) end up attracting the attention of a Miguel O'Hara/Spider-Man 2099 (Oscar Isaac) and his team of Spider-Verse protectors – including Miles' old buddies Gwen Stacy (Hailee Steinfeld) and Peter B.


We discover (over the course of the movie) that everything surrounding Miles Morales' (Shameik Moore) Spider-Man origin was bigger and more important to the multiverse than we thought – as are the tragedies connected to his role as the Wall-Crawler. The story of Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse picks up months after the events of the first film. Across the Spider-Verse is also easily one of the most visually stunning animated films ever made – so much so that it feels utterly disingenuous trying to quantify it all after just one viewing. Thompson, and an army of animators manage to deliver a Spider-Verse sequel that is a worthy successor to the original film – even if it's only half the story. Thankfully, Sony, directorial trio Joaquim Dos Santos, Kemp Powers, and Justin K. Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Versearrives in theaters as one of the most highly anticipated Spider-Man projects ever, and one of the most highly anticipated films of the year.
