For this episode, we’re talking about the new animated movie Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse. A sequel to the 2018 chapter Into The Spider-Verse, it picks back up with our hero Miles Morales as he tries to balance life in high school, the expectations of his parents, and his responsibilities being your friendly neighborhood Spider-Man.
But when fellow Spider-person Gwen Stacy crosses the multiverse to pay him a visit, Miles is thrust into another adventure that takes him out of his dimension and into many others, meeting new heroes and villains along the way.
A few of our ATMI film critics sat down to talk about the movie, how it uses the medium of animation to elevate the story, the growing trend of multiverse storytelling, and much more.
