In 2018
Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse
blew everyone away, critics and audiences alike, by bringing a huge breath of fresh air to superhero movies that were already going around in circles.
Graphically, scriptwise, musically, the result exceeded the big Marvel productions and we haven't seen much better since.
This is to say if
Spider-Man: alone against all,
sequel to the adventures of Miles Morales, is one of the most anticipated animated films of 2023. The first film was signed Peter Ramsey, Bob Persichetti and Rodney Rothman.
It featured a new generation of characters and told the story of this teenager from Brooklyn, himself a fan of Spider-Man, like many other residents of the city.
As often with Marvel, the legend is put into abyss.
In an abandoned metro station, the young man is also bitten by a radioactive spider.
Miles is transformed by it, like Peter Parker, and must learn to control his powers.
Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse
, which once again features one of the world's most popular superheroes, grossed $375.5 million and was voted Best Animated Feature at the Oscars in February 2019. He also won the Golden Globes and the 2019 BAFTA for best animated film.

The new
Spider-Man
, directed by Kemp Power, Joaquim Dos Santos and Justin K. Thompson, looks just as promising.
The trailer, released on Tuesday, reveals the first images … which are very similar to those of the previous film.
For two minutes twenty-two, we witness a conversation between Miles and his mother which recalls the first steps of the baby Spider-Man.
We quickly understand that he will find old characters, like the pretty and cheeky Spider-Gwen, but also discover new ones, like Spider-Man 2099 or Spider-Woman.
For good measure, Sony has announced that this new film will feature no less than two hundred and forty characters crossing six different universes.
The synopsis given by Sony reads:
“After reuniting with Gwen Stacy, friendly Brooklyn neighbor Spider-Man is catapulted through the multiverse, where he encounters a team of Spider-People tasked with protecting his very existence.
But when the heroes clash over how to handle a new threat, Miles finds himself pitted against the other spiders and must redefine what it means to be a hero so he can save the people he loves most..."
Another detail that is important: these new adventures of little Spider-Man will be divided into two films.
And if we have to wait another six months to see the first part in the cinema, the conclusion is announced in March 2024 and will be titled
Spider-Man: Beyond the Spider-Verse
