The multiverse is a canvas waiting to be explored.
What is Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse about?
Miles Morales teams up with Gwen Stacy across the multiverse. They meet the Spider-Society, a group of Spider-People from different universes.
Five things to know.
Setup
The film is a sequel to Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse and continues the story of Miles Morales as Spider-Man.
World
The film features a multiverse with different universes, each with its own unique art style and Spider-People.
Pressure
Miles faces pressure from his personal life and his duties as Spider-Man, leading to conflicts with the Spider-Society.
Craft
The film features innovative animation styles, with each universe having its own distinct look and feel.
Viewing note
The film is a standalone story but ends on a cliffhanger, setting up the sequel.
A thought to take with you.
Miles finds that belonging to a community of Spider-People may come with rules about which stories are allowed to change. His disagreement with that idea makes the multiverse more than a source of cameos: it puts his own judgment against an institution's definition of duty.
Is it your kind of movie?
Choose it for an animated superhero adventure about identity and whether inherited rules deserve obedience. It ends mid-story, with its continuation in the next film.
