Following the success of 2018’s Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse, fans have been anticipating a follow up. We all want to know what’s next for Miles Morales and the rest of the Spidergang.
Across the Spider-Verse, coming in 2023 is set to pick up where we left off and reunite Miles (voiced by Shameik Moore) with Gwen Stacy/Spider-Gwen (Hailee Steinfeld), and Peter B. Parker (voiced by Jake Johnson). We’ll also be introduced to the likes of Miguel O’Hara/Spider-Man 2099 (Oscar Isaac), Hobie Brown/Spider-Punk (Daniel Kaluuya), and Jessica Drew/Spider-Woman (voiced by Issa Rae).
Kemp Powers who directs the movie has confirmed The Spot as the movie’s main villa. Voiced by Jason Schwartzman, the Spot will have a major role in bringing the different Spider-Men and Spider-People back together to save the multiverse.
In the comic books, The Spot is a lesser known villain when compared with the likes of the Green Goblin, Doctor Octopus and Rhino. However, according to Powers, “The Spot is an interesting villain because he seems like a joke, but when you really look at his powers, there’s incredible potential. His ability to open portals across dimensions sets him up perfectly for the Spider-Verse. He’s the villain of the next two films… and let’s just say that the Spot and Miles are connected in surprising ways.”

The third movie, announced in 2021 during CCXP, was set to be titled Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse (Part Two) but was later changed to Spider-Man: Beyond the Spider-Verse.
Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse will be released exclusively in theaters on June 2023.
