Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse's latest trailer is packed with surprises
It's a curious way to open two trailers for an animated movie, albeit one that's Spider-Man-based. Does this suggest we'll see Maguire, Garfield, and Holland's wallcrawlers interact with Miles Morales ? And, if they do, will it be in animated or live-action form?Beyond the Spider-Verse
That'll likely form the bulk of the film's plot anyway . In this teaser, The Spot is positioned as nothing more than a jokey sort of antagonist. We see him trying to steal cash from an ATM as Miles makes fun of him, a loaf of bread humorously falling through two portals that The Spot creates, and then the duo engaging in a brief, amusing, portal-based skirmish. As the trailer later shows, though, he's far more dangerous than most people realize.
Alongside Gwen, Spider-Woman, Peter B Parker , and Spider-Man 2099 , Spider-Punk and Spider-Man India are part of the main Spider-Force crew. This gang are responsible for protecting the Spider-Verse from all manner of threats and, alongside many other Spider-People, convene at the Lobby. Here, they discuss what's going down in each other's universes and how they can stop each realm's villains from destroying the multiverse.
It's a fun shout-out to Marvel Studios' cinematic juggernaut and Spidey's latest live-action adventure, which was part of. However, O'Hara's comment has reignited an online debate about which universe the MCU actually exists in. But it seems O'Hara is actually preparing to cut off Miles' universe from the rest of the Spider-Verse here. He talks about"sacrifice" and"saving every world", before a blink-and-you'll-miss-it shot shows The Spot sitting at the center of the multiverse, with numerous portals to each Spider-Man universe at his fingertips.
