It’s been three years since the world was rocked by the wonder ofSpider-Man: Into the Spider-Verseand the tale of Miles Morales. The film went on to win an Oscar for Best Animated Feature and quickly, a sequel was confirmed. Now, fans have their first look at the upcoming continuation.
TheSpider-Man: Across the Spider-Versetrailer doesn’t show many glimpses at all into the plot or which characters will feature in the film, leaving much up to speculation and wonder. What it does show is the main character Miles Morales, being reunited with his sort-oflove interest Spider-Gwen. It’s much more a snapshot into the style of the film and the stellar animation than a preview of the actual story.

Nothing hard has been confirmed about the plot orwhich Spider-Man villains fans can expect to see, but based on this first look it’s possible that this could be one for the Miles/Gwen shippers.
