First-look footage of Sony’s upcoming Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse 2 was shown at this year's CinemaCon, revealing the return of Miles Morales and Gwen Stacy. The film is the long-awaited sequel to 2018’s Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse, which marked both Sony’s first animated project in the Spider-Man franchise and the first film appearance of the Miles Morales version of the superhero. Not only was the first Into the Spider-Verse a major box office success, it also impressed critics, going on to win the coveted Best Animated Feature Film award at both the 2019 Academy Awards and Annual Golden Globes.
Following the story of Miles Morales, a teenager of African-American and Puerto Rican heritage, the first Spider-Verse film opens with the death of Peter Parker, the original Spider-Man. When Miles begins to develop his own powers after being bitten by a radioactive spider, he attempts to follow in Parker’s footsteps and works alongside other Spider-People from alternate universes. Even prior to the release of the first film, the anticipation surrounding the project prompted Sony to quickly put both a sequel and a spin-off, Spider-Woman, into production.
While much of the Spider-Man buzz surrounding this year’s CinemaCon has focused on the new Spider-Man: No Way Home trailer, the Sony presentation also featured a first look at footage from next year’s Spider-Verse sequel. Descriptions of the footage include a shot of Miles doing his signature jump, followed by Gwen Stacy appearing with a full white mask. Another shot also featured Miles looking at the Spider-Man suit with his reflection showing on the glass in a image reminiscent of the first film.
Currently slated to be released in October 2022, Spider-Verse 2 is set to introduce the Japanese Spider-Man Takuya Yamashiro, as well as Spider-Woman, who will be voiced by actress Issa Rae (Insecure, The Lovebirds). Original stars Shameik Moore and Hailee Steinfeld will also reprise their respective roles of Miles Morales and Gwen Stacy. While the latest descriptions of the new Spider-Verse 2 certainly don’t reveal much in the way of specific story details, there is no doubt that the newcomers to the franchise will make for an interesting sequel.
Considered by many loyal fans to be not only one of the best Spider-Man films, but one of the best superhero films ever made, this latest sneak peek at Spider-Verse 2 will certainly whet the appetites of those who are already hungry for its release. Even the MCU’s Peter Parker, Tom Holland himself, has been quick to praise the first film, calling it, “one of the coolest films I’ve ever seen.” And now that fans know there is new Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse 2 footage out there, they will no doubt be keeping their fingers crossed that a teaser trailer may not be too far off.
