First look at Spiderverse 2: [![](https://img.youtube.com/vi/hnBzcLQUhYQ/maxresdefault.jpg "SPIDER-MAN: ACROSS THE SPIDER-VERSE (PART ONE) – First Look") ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hnBzcLQUhYQ) The first one is probably my favourite superhero movie, so I’m very much looking forward to this. ---

> [@borschevsky](#): > > The first one is probably my favourite superhero movie I agree. Lord and Miller seem to have a love for and deep understanding of Spider-Man. The first movie was such a treat. If this movie is half as good as the first one, I’d be happy. ---

The biggest reveal is that this is only Part One. I and my wife hold the heretical position that Spider-verse was only OK, not great. :ducks: ---

I’m in, and Miles and Gwen were the best characters so that works. > [@Mahaloth](#): > > I and my wife hold the heretical position that Spider-verse was only OK, not great. I loved most of the movie, but it lost me in the particle accelerator phase at the end, when the animation went all loopy-gaga. That was tedious as hell. ---

I’m excited but this makes at least 6 Spider-Man movies planned in the coming years. This one, presumably its part 2, Far From Home, and the 3 other ones Holland agreed to. ---

Does “exclusively in premium formats” mean D+ or am I gonna have to see this in theatres? ---

It almost certainly doesn’t mean D+. None of the Sony Spider-Man movies (and this is a Sony release) are available through Disney+. Studios are still experimenting with release formats. It’ll _eventually_ be available streaming. It might or might not be available streaming when it releases in theaters. _Spider-Man: No Way Home_, for example, is a theatrical exclusive. ---

They both look older but Gwen’s hair only looks like its grown a few months worth. ---

> [@Fair\_Rarity](#): > > I’m excited but this makes at least 6 Spider-Man movies planned in the coming years. Spider-Verse was so frigging awesome though. The Tom Holland ones are okay but if Spider-Verse 2 is half as good as 1 it’ll be twice as good as the live action Spider-Mans. ---

Yeah, I was already looking forward to No Way Home, but I’m looking forward to this like 10x as much. The first one is near perfect. ---

The second trailer gives a better look at the story… [SPIDER-MAN: ACROSS THE SPIDER-VERSE - Official Trailer #2 (HD) - YouTube](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=shW9i6k8cB0&ab_channel=SonyPicturesEntertainment) Not sure how to get around the new imbedded link issue. ---

I really liked the first one but the final villain fight was so anti-thetical to the rest of the movie, I have to assume it was a studio mandate. The through-line is “what kind of Spiderman will you be Miles. what makes you unique”…and the answer was…he’s no different, he’s not unique. He just punches out the bad guy like every other Spiderman. The movie went out of its way to establish parallels between the families of Miles and the Kingpin. Miles has to deal with finding out his beloved uncle is a super villain and Fisk’s whole plot is in reaction to his family finding out he’s a supervillain–does that ever matter, nope. ---

> [@Push\_You\_Down](#): > > He just punches out the bad guy like every other Spiderman. Definitely not how it went down in _No Way Home_.
