Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse will bring back Miles Morales, Gwen Stacy and all of their alternate counterparts from across the franchise in an animated adventure.

The future of Sony and Marvel’s Spider-Verses

- However, we can still expect Across the Spider-Verse to feature new Spider-people from the Marvel canon.
- Both Miles Morales and Spider-Gwen have been a huge hit among comic book fans and moviegoers alike. With more exciting characters like Spider-Man 2099 and Spider-Punk coming up next, it’s hard to ground our expectations from going off the roof.
- Watching a bunch of these characters come together for the first time is sure to be interesting. And, of course, the animation style is going to be a lot of fun, too.
