When Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse dropped in 2018, a new standard for the web-slinging hero was created, whether you were talking animated or live-action. The Oscar-winning Into the Spider-Verse told the story of Miles Morales (Shameik Moore) getting his powers and learning the Spidey ropes from a litany of Spider-Man variations from alternate universes, including Peter B. Parker (voiced by New Girl’s Jake Johnson), Spider-Ham (John Mulaney), Spider-Man Noir (Nic Cage) and Gwen Stacy (Hailee Steinfeld).
It was a nearly flawless film, and we’ve been waiting a long four-plus years for a sequel. Well, we got a title (Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse), we have a release date (June 2, 2023) and now we have a new trailer.
Oscar Isaac, Issa Ray and Daniel Kaluuya are among those joining an already star-studded cast, and it looks amazing. Is that Peter B. Parker with a baby carrier? Who are all these Spider-People? Has Oscar Isaac been bad in anything? June 2nd can’t get here soon enough.
