There's guaranteed to be a visual flourish or deep-cut reference you've missed in background details. It's an astonishing feat and endlessly breathtaking.Įven if it wasn't for the multiple Easter eggs throughout, you'd want to watch the sequel again just to catch everything. The sequel utilises multiple animation styles, often with several in the same frame, to make its various worlds and Spider-Men distinctive.
The only place to start is with the animation and, clichéd though it may be to say, Across the Spider-Verse is a visual feast. Led by Miguel O'Hara (Oscar Isaac), aka Spider-Man 2099, they're charged with protecting the very existence of the multiverse from those who, unwittingly or not, could collapse time and space as we know it.Īnd when Miles learns that maybe he doesn't entirely agree with this all-powerful group of Spideys, Miles will have to decide on what he believes makes a hero – whether Gwen is on his side or not. The sequel sees them tangled up in different ways with the Spider Society, a huge team of Spider-People from across the multiverse. Here, we get several fully-realised worlds that we spend time in, but despite the sequel going bigger, it hasn't forgotten its beating heart: Miles and Gwen. Where the first movie stayed in Miles's world with glimpses of the other universes, the sequel's opening gives a sense of its increased scale. We catch up on Gwen Stacy's (Hailee Steinfeld) life first, before reuniting with Miles Morales (Shameik Moore) over a year since the events of the first movie. If you haven't seen Into the Spider-Verse recently (and, really, it should be a monthly watch), Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse starts with a couple of handy recaps.
