In Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse we will see MANY different wall climbers, and some are already familiar to comic book readers… while others are decidedly darker and more bizarre!
Packed with never-before-seen scenes, two new commercials introduce some wacky variations of the Webslinger, such as a Spider-Rex (does it have spider powers proportional to a dinosaur?) and a Spider-Cat (which spits balls of web). There is also room for Spider-Byte , alias Margo Kess , sort of Spider-woman of cyperspace. Lynx eyes will also notice the mythical Ragno Mobile , created by Gerry Conway and Ross Andru in 1973, obviously intended as a big joke.
Here is the official synopsis:
Miles Morales returns in the next chapter in the Academy Award-winning Spider-Verse saga, Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse . After reuniting with Gwen Stacy, the friendly Brooklyn neighborhood Spider-Man is catapulted into the Multiverse, where he meets a team of “Spider-Heroes” charged with protecting its existence. But when the heroes clash over how to deal with a new threat, Miles finds himself up against the other “Spiders” and will have to redefine what it means to be a hero in order to save the people he loves most.
The release is expected for June 1st in Italian cinemas. You can see the spots below.
