Image: Sony Pictures Animation/MarvelThe first two trailers for Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse have put their focus on Miles Morales (Shameik Moore). With how long it’s been since we’ve seen this take on the young Spider-Man, the trailers have gone out of their way to show how much he’s come into his own since then (and remind audiences how great Into the Spider-Verse was). But after helping other Spiders like Peter B. Parker (Jake Johnson) and Gwen Stacy (Hailee Steinfeld) acclimate them to his world and get back to…

Things are always happening in Big Two comic books, particularly over in Marvel’s universe. (Well, universes, plural.) With spring barely started and the rest of the year not too far off on the horizon, it’s about that time to start revealing what’s in store for the heroes and villains of Marvel Comics for 2023 and at least the first few weeks of 2024.

Image: Sony Pictures/MarvelThe days to Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse get shorter and shorter, and anticipation for the animated movie is at an all-time high. Right now, the film’s greatest selling point is how it plans to go bigger than before, with Miles Morales meeting Spider-characters at a number much greater than the five travelers from the 2018 film. And in the case of some of those Spiders, he won’t just be hanging and swinging alongside them, he’ll also be visiting their neck of the woods.Empire Magazine has…

Image: Sony Pictures AnimationThere’s a lot of Spider-Folks in Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse. This we knew, as we pored over its trailer, as well as many slices of a poster depicting a whole legion of webslinging heroes. Now we have the full poster in glorious high quality, and it turns out? Yeah, still a lot of Spideys in this movie.After various low-quality snippets of the poster were released across international markets last month in the wake of Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse’s first trailer release, Sony…

Nicolas Cage suggests his character, Spider-Man Noir, won’t be back for Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse.Image: Lionsgate/SonyAs a huge fan of Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse, I just kind of assumed all of the supporting Spider-people from the first movie would be back. We know about the big three (Miles, Peter, Gwen) for sure, but Spider-Han, Peni, and Noir? They have to be in there too, right? Well, maybe not.Speaking to Screenrant, the voice of Spider-Man Noir, the legendary Nicolas Cage, made it seem like he…

Marvel’s next animated series is set to hit the Disney Channel next month, and if you weren’t already sure that the Moon Girl show was juking where the rest of the Marvel-verse is jiving by already giving us a show with an Inhuman heroine, it’s also showing off a great deal more style.Marvel animation, whether it’s the kids-focused fare like the recent Spider-Man shows or things like What If have all gone for relatively grounded aesthetic takes, rooted in the realistic origins of the MCU. But this new clip from Moon Girl…

A new image from Spider-Man: Across the Spider-VerseImage: Sony PicturesSpider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse was unlike anything fans had ever seen. The look, sound, story, all of it was made specifically to be new, fresh, and innovative. Now with not one, but two, sequels on the way, the filmmakers have that to deal with, and so much more. Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse, out in June, and Spider-Man: Beyond the Spider-Verse, out in 2024, must both meet the level of that first movie and also innovate beyond it. That’s…
