Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse

The fantastic sequel to the 2018 Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse hit, this new release has been highly anticipated by excited fans.

In this continuation, Miles Morales is one member of a new cast of other ‘spider-people’ each from their own universe.

One already fan favourite is Pavitr Prabhakar, an Indian spiderman, who finds being spiderman to be easy.

Travelling through numerous universes and meeting countless ‘spider-people’ is a big task, one which the directors Joaquim Dos Santos, Justin K Thompson, and Kemp Powers have executed with perfect precision.

Each universe has its own specific artistic style, differentiating between the worlds with ease.

This is most notable with Miles’ universe, which is more comic-book style, while Gwen’s home is more impressionistic, with directors describing it more like a mood ring of colours.

This is a masterpiece in animation and art techniques, with something for everyone, no matter the artistic direction that people prefer.

The villain of the story is The Spot, also known as Johnathon Ohnn, a lesser-known marvel villain whose backstory encompasses an experiment to mimic another superhero, but something goes wrong, and his body is covered in black spots.

Johnathon then realises that the spots are portals to other universes and begins traveling across the dimensions and causing havoc.

With the infinite possibilities of the story, the plot will take place centrally in six spider-person universes, an Indian-inspired landscape, Nueva York, Miles’ universe, Gwen’s world, Spider-Punk’s new London world, and another final universe which has been tightly hidden away for audiences to be surprised with.

Ultimately, the film discusses superhero-ness and what is means to be a superhero, with Miles pitted against other spider-people in this new civil war across dimensions.

Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse is opening in the Bowen Cinema Friday 2 June.
