Words Robb Sheppard

As a young adult, it’s tough working out where you belong in the world, let alone the expansive Multiverse. And that’s right where we find our friendly neighbourhood Spider-Man in one of the most must-see superhero films of the year, back in Brooklyn and contemplating his role before being whisked back into the Spider-Verse.

While the arachnid adventurers from all over the Spider-Verse got on like a house on fire first time around, things are less acrimonious on this occasion as Shameik Moore’s Miles Morales and Hailee Steinfeld’s Gwen Stacy receive a less than warm reception from a slew of new Spideys. Let’s hope they can come together before they get taken out for good by a villain with unprecedented power.

Into The Spider-Verse was as Amazing and Spectacular as any Spider-Man film should be and won the whole world over, picking up the Best Animated Feature Film at the Academy Awards on the way to being recognised by many as the finest Spider-Man film to date.

With creators Phil Lord and Chris Miller picking up the pen again, Oscar Isaac and Daniel Kaluuya adding their voices to an already enticing cast, and the promise of more innovative animation styles, Spidey senses are suggesting that this sequel is filling its successor’s sizeable shoes, and then some.

Spider-Men

Alongside Miles Morales, Jake Johnson’s middle-aged Peter B. Parker returns and is joined by Oscar Isaac’s snarky Spider-Man 2099, a self-made mutant Spidey who appears in the credit sting of the last adventure. Add Daniel Kaluuya’s Spider-Punk, complete with electric guitar, and this  sequel is going to get loud!

Spider-Women

The motorbike-riding Spider-Woman makes her big onscreen debut and is voiced by Issa Rae. Also, Hailee Steinfeld’s fan-fave Ghost Spider makes her return as she helps Miles in the Multiverse.

Spider-What?

The first film introduces Spider-Ham, but things gets much weirder the further you venture Across The Spider-Verse. Look out, here comes Werewolf Spider-Man, Spider-Cop, and Bombastic Bagman (Spidey with a paper bag on his head).
