The first trailer for Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse starts with Miles Morales’s mother telling him to take care of himself, and that’s advice he really should take to heart, because he’s about to wind up in a really sticky situation where a whole multiverse worth of Spider-People are after him. But who are these faces, some familiar and some new?
With Across the Spider-Verse swinging its way into theaters, here’s a slideshow of every Spidey we’ve been able to pick out from the various trailers and posters. Note that the slideshow has been updated for the movie's release, so beware of spoilers ahead!
IGN gave Across the Spider-Verse an 8, with reviewer Tom Jorgensen writing: "Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse surges with visual inventiveness and vibrance in an undeniably strong evolution of the style established in Into the Spider-Verse. Miles and Gwen’s search for their place in the multiverse is relentless and exciting, almost to a fault, and though the plot is often an afterthought to the pure chaos of creation on display, strong performances and character arcs that feel true to the heroes we met last time help ensure that Across the Spider-Verse is a more-than-worthy follow-up to an all-time classic."
