Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse poster traps scores of Spider-themed heroes in its web

Make room on your wall because a new Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse poster is ready to swing into your life. Marvel and Sony debuted the stylish poster on Tuesday, featuring Miles Morales surrounded by different Spider-themed heroes across the Multiverse. In the Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse poster, you can catch Ghost-Spider, Spider-Punk, Scarlet Spider, Spider-Man 2099, Spider-Woman, Spectacular Spider-Man, Spider-Cat, and even Julia Carpenter’s Spider-Woman, flanking Miles on all sides. It’s spectacular. Still, even the most hardcore Spider-Man fan will need help tracking all the characters in this film.

Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse finds Shameik Moore returning as Miles Morales and Hailee Steinfeld as Gwen Stacy, aka Ghost-Spider, in another web-slinging adventure through parallel universes. Peter Parker also returns, and this entry will feature new characters like Miguel O’Hara, aka Spider-Man 2099, played by Oscar Issac, Hobie Brown, aka Spider-Punk, voiced by Daniel Kaluuya, and Jessica Drew, aka Spider-Woman, played by Issa Rae.

Speaking about Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse, writer/producer Phil Lord revealed the film uses six animation styles to tell its story:

“The first film had one animation style that dominates the movie. This movie has six,” Phil Lord told Empire. “So we’re taking those tools, adding all the things we learned on The Mitchells Vs The Machines, and then growing them further to accommodate the ambition of this movie. Which is to wow you every time you enter a new environment, and also to make sure that the style of the movie reflect the story, and that the images are driven by feelings, as opposed to some egg-headed art project. Which it also is, by the way!”

You can see various animation styles in the Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse trailer. “The two that you saw in the teaser trailer were what’s called Earth-50101, which we’re calling ‘Mumbattan’ – that’s based on an Indian comic-book look – and Nueva York from Spider-Man 2099’s world,” Christopher Miller explained. “That’s based on Syd Mead-style illustrations of what the future might look like. There’s also Gwen’s world, which is Earth-65. And that was a watercolour-wash style that’s reminiscent of the covers of her comic books.”

Per the official synopsis, Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse will find Miles Morales returning for “an epic adventure that will transport Brooklyn’s full-time, friendly neighborhood Spider-Man across the Multiverse to join forces with Gwen Stacy and a new team of Spider-People to face off with a villain more powerful than anything they have ever encountered.” Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse will debut on June 2, 2023, followed by Spider-Man: Beyond the Spider-Verse on March 29, 2024.
