With Across The Spider-Verse releasing in cinemas this week, I asked my followers , friends, content creators and writers why they are excited for the film.
“Across The Spider-Verse is a sequel to what many consider to be one of the greatest comic book movies of all time. Not only that but it’s going to be a two parter, so of course I’m incredibly hyped” (Joe, TikTok influencer, @hzjoe03)
“I’m excited to see Miles shut down everyone who doesn’t believe in him or his ability to be Spider-Man, regardless of the reason.” (Alex, writer for Cosmic circus, @AlexFromCC)
“more Spider-People!” (Doc ock, Editor for coveredgeekly @DocOckFromCG)
“I’m excited for Spidey variants” (@ab28du)
“Because Peter B Parker is a dad, And the MCU mentioned” (@Meriotown)
“i just wanna see the cat spiderman” (@JackFromVietnam)
“It’s such an ambitious movie and I can’t wait to see how it all comes together.” (@Chatterboxfilm)
“One of the reasons why I’m excited is because we’re going to see a lot more versions of Spider-Man in Across the Spider-Verse!!!” (@WebHeaded_Josh)
“im excited because i loved the first movie and I really like everything I’ve seen so far for this movie” (@SonicFanBlue)
“I’m excited to see how Miles, Gwen and Peter B Parker have grown since the first movie. Miguel looks like such a great character, and I’m so hyped to see him and Miles fight. The length of the movie is also giving me hope that this will be great, and I really hope they use the two hour and twenty minute runtime to it’s full advantage. Also Spider-Man India looks so fun, I already love him.” (@YoshiTheFirst)
“I’m excited to see how the movie will portray Gwen and Miles relationship and how this movie will top the first one. I also really wanna see the spots development throughout the film.” (@gcandalesde4007)
1. Visiting the other world’s
2. Miles&Gwen romance
3. Seeing old familiar faces and tons of new ones in the process
4. More mature story telling
5. The out of this world art direction. (@VaughnSmarsh)
“I really love the story so far and as an artist I am prepared for a sequel to a wonderfully animated movie full of love. Also all the Spider-People in it!! Spectacular Spidey, my beloved.” (@junimoony)
“I think that movies focusing on newer Spider-Men and women other than Peter are what gets me intrigued for these films. Plus I think this trilogy has the potential to be the best CBM trilogy of all time. And the animation is beautiful.” (@JorgeONeillYT)
“Because ITSV was fire” (@DaReelLuCAS_KYH)
“Into the Spiderverse was a breakthrough in animated storytelling, and to see how the team behind the first one have made leaps in that dept since excites me. The idea of having each verse in a different art style, topped with the character dev of all the spideys makes me excited.” (@curiousbutdumb)
“It looks really cool, the spot is goofy as hell (I love goofy villains), Miles is really fun character and can’t wait to see him again, Miguel O’Hara(just Miguel O’Hara).” (@g1316820629)
“I absolutely LOVE Miles, Peter Parker and Gwen. This first story was amazing and I can’t wait to see returning favs and new characters!!! The spot and Jessica Drew!!” (@LukeEngel12)
“Honestly, I’m just very excited to see miles, Peter, and Gwen in the movie. Their dynamic was so nice in Spider-Man into the spiderverse, and it looks like we’re gonna see more Gwen and miles in this movie.” (@BendygamerlolX1)
“A big reason is because of the aesthetics and the cinematography. The first film took the animation genre to a new fresh level and this movie seems to have imporved what was already near perfect from a beauty and aesthetic standpoint.
Shots look like paintings and I love it.” (@assassin_jim)
“I’m excited for Across The Spiderverse because I really liked the first one, the animation is phenomenal, and I can’t wait to see new and old characters. The last reason is ITS A SPIDERMAN MOVIE!!!” (@chrisgrinnan1)
“Spider-Man has always been my favorite character that I can relate to. And the movie looks very awesome. ✨” (@JuustAlexx)
“I’m excited to see how the animation has progressed since the first film” (@_kenna_baby_)
“I’m excited to see how Miles’s story continues, as well as seeing Spider-Man 2099 on the big screen. Also Issa Rae is gonna kill it as Spider-Woman!” (@thelectricfire)
“Because ITSV was so damn good haha.
And from what I’ve heard, it sounds like it’s gonna top it” (@na81992647)
“Seeing my nationality represented in a movie, especially in Spider-Man, means so much. The character and story is taken into extreme care and consideration from everyone involved. No doubt in my mind the Across the Spider-Verse will live up and exceed expectations!” (@CosmicEmerald)
“Miles Morales and the soundtrack !!! (@99probs_and_1)
“I’m excited for it because the first movie had incredible animation and story-telling, and it seems that Across the Spider-Verse will build upon it, and I’m super stoked to see it for that. Plus, it looks like a phenomenal time 🙂 ” (@DylanIThink_)
“I think, to me it’s how it’s opening more to this universe of movies. We are introduced to different spiders which not only have unique designs, but art styles. From spider punk, briitsh punk style, to the Bollywood style for spider-man India. So much unique styles we will see! ” (@pipday12)
“Animation means so much to me. Also, who doesn’t love Spider-man? ” (@Amphibiafan_Mal)
“Because the original is the best animated superhero thing I’ve seen to date and I’m excited to see what they do with spot and the spider verse in general” (@SauceIsFunny)
“I wanna see how Gwen’s backstory go, and I wanna see what happens at the ” cliffhanger ” ending.” (@ralph_mine)
“It’s cool to see a teenage superhero who is also Hispanic go through relatable situations like what they wanna do after high school and what that stress may do to you. It’s also cool to see the family dynamics as they’re eerily similar to my own” (@PlasenciaIan)
“Into is one of my favorite movies, with the style, the characters, the jokes, it’s amazing. I’m so happy it’s getting a big 2 part film sequel. If Into is anything to go by, Across is going above and… beyond?” (@Meta_Bro1)
“im excited to know how miles’ story continues and what did he do to have miguel chase him throughout the spider-verse. i also wanna see how they push the animation compared to into the spider-verse. can’t wait to see the new characters and returning characters continue their stories.
and this last bit is a personal thing but this movie will be legendary because it’s a celebration of a friend group that’s been formed years back and in a way comes back full circle.” (@Galatea_ZX)
