Sony dropped the first look of the much-anticipated Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse sequel on Saturday night, teasing the return of everyone’s favorite kid from Brooklyn, Miles Morales.
The movie is now officially named Spider-Man: Across The Spider-Verse Part One.
Yes Part One! that means Miles is getting two sequel movies. During an EW Twitter Q&A on Saturday, writer-producers Phil Lord and Chris Miller said that they had way more ideas for this story than they could fit in just one movie.
“Miles’ story is an epic,” they said. “We wrote what we thought the story needed to be, and to our surprise we realized it was two movies instead of one. We’re working on them both as we speak. Part Two will be out sometime in 2023. We will sleep again in 2024.”
This next installment promises to be set across different universes, and we see footage of Hailee Steinfeld’s Spider-Gwen returning from her universe to visit Miles.
“Every dimension looks and feels radically different from all the others,” Lord and Miller teased. “They all look like they were drawn by a different artist.
We also get a first look at Miles facing off against Miguel O’Hara, Spider-Man 2099, voiced by Oscar Isaac, who first surfaced in an end-credits sequence for the first film.
It remains to be seen whether we’ll see any other familiar Spider-People pop up, like Kimiko Glenn’s Peni Parker, Nicolas Cage’s Spider-Man Noir, or John Mulaney’s Spider-Ham. When asked, Lord and Miller were cryptic, only revealing, “Miles will reunite with some old friends and meet… a lot of new ones.”
Here’s the first look:
Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse (Part One) will be released in theaters Oct. 7, 2022.
