Sony Pictures has revealed the first trailer for the animated movie 'Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse.' The first part of the two-part sequel to 2018's hit movie "Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse" will release in theaters on June 2, 2023.
The trailer begins with Miles Morales talking with his mom, who’s worried that he’s not her little boy anymore. The trailer shows Miles and Gwen Stacy journeying through alternative universes and encountering dozens of alternate Spider-Men. First look at Issa Rae's motorcycle-riding Spider-Woman, Jorma Taccone's high-flying adversary Vulture, an Indian Spider-Man, and Oscar Isaac's brutal Spider-Man 2099 are also included. In the trailer, Miles is being attacked by dozens of alternate Spider-Men while web-slinging around turning the scene into a whole chaos. “Who do you think you are, really?” Spider-Man 2099 asks Gwen. “We are supposed to be the good guys,” she replies. “We are,” the older Spider-Man replies, over a shot of him slamming Miles to the ground with a red web.
Miles Morales returns in Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse, the latest chapter in the Oscar®-winning Spider-Verse saga. After reuniting with Gwen Stacy, Brooklyn's full-time, friendly neighborhood Spider-Man is propelled across the Multiverse, where he meets a squad of Spider-People tasked with ensuring the Multiverse's survival. But when the heroes disagree on how to deal with a new threat, Miles finds himself pitted against the other Spiders and forced to redefine what it means to be a hero in order to save the ones he cares about the most.
The film is directed by Joaquim Dos Santos, Kemp Powers, and Justin K. Thompson from a screenplay written by Phil Lord & Christopher Miller, and David Callaham.
