The Sequel to SPIDER-MAN: INTO THE SPIDER-VERSE Heads Into Production!
Spider-Man: Into The Spider-Verse was an incredible movie! Easily one of my favorite Spider-Man flicks, and fans like myself have been waiting for the sequel that we’ve been promised. Well, that sequel is now in production!
The sequel’s lead animator Nick Kondo confirmed the news on Twitter with the following:
Sony Pictures plans on releasing the movie on October 7th, 2022. While we have to wait awhile, at least we know that it’s coming!
The first film had such a cool, vibrant, and unique style, and I can’t wait to see how they push that with the upcoming sequel. The Spider-Verse sequel is being directed by Joaquim Dos Santos, who previously worked on shows such as Avatar: The Last Airbender and Voltron: Legendary Defender. David Callaham (The Expendables, Wonder Woman 1984) is writing the script.
There are no details on the plot of the film, but there’s so much to play with! It has been said that the story will be set two years after the events of the first film. It’s also been reported that Gwen Stacy will be involved.
I’ve been hoping that this next story will be inspired by the comic book story arc for Spider-Man/Spider-Gwen Sitting in a Tree. That story follows Miles as he is sent to Spider Gwen’s universe to save his dad. This is where the relationship between the two characters really blossoms. Here’s the description of that story:
Miles Morales and Gwen Stacy are two young heroes from different Earths, but what threat could unite the Spider-Man and Spider-Woman of the new generation? The answer will rock both their worlds! Not for the first time, Miles will find himself in another universe — and he's in pursuit of someone he holds dear. But will that description soon apply to Gwen? Or, as the stakes are raised, will this spider-crossed pair see teen romance give way to arachnid animosity? First comes love, then comes much worse, then comes chaos in the Multiverse!
Shameik Moore is expected to return along with other cast members like Hailee Steinfeld. What are you hoping to see from the sequel?
