There seems to be an insatiable appetite for Spider-Man meddling around in the Multiverse as seen in Sony and Marvel's newest trailer for "Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse," the upcoming follow-up to 2018's smash hit, "Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse," which took home the Oscar for Best Animated Feature back in 2019.
That first animation sensation saw teenager Miles Morales take up the mantle of Spider-Man from Peter Parker in our modern-day universe before uniting with alternate dimension Spider-Heroes to thwart a villainous threat to the entire web of multiple realities.
Its sequel sees the New York City native maturing, dealing with family matters and swinging across the fragile strands of the Multiverse once more, while teaming up with Gwen Stacy and a new cadre of arachnid-infused crusaders to battle a supervillain of limitless power and destructive capabilities.
