Earlier this year, the first trailer forSpider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse, the sequel to the 2018 computer-animatedSpider-Man: Into The Spider-Verseshows Miles Morales traveling across parallel universes reflected on the multiple art styles of the film. A few months away from the film’s premiere,Empirehas revealed an exclusive image that now shows Miles setting off on a new adventure away from Brooklyn. As his family looks on and his gaze reveals his worries.
During CinemaCon 2022 in Las Vegas in April, producers and writersPhil LordandChris Millergave the audience a look at thefirst 15 minutesof the upcoming movie. Parts of it showed Miles telling his parents, Rio (Luna Lauren) and Jefferson (Brian Tyree Henry) of his plans to study at New York’s Columbia University. The clip shows him reassuring them that Columbia has the best quantum researchers and that they “might even be able to travel to different dimensions,” but his parents are not convinced. They would rather he stay closer to home.
For Miles' Spider-Man, trotting across the multiverse will be an adventure shared with Spider-Gwen, yet will also show that his mind would still be with his family, a connection that was evident in the original movie.
