One of the year’s hottest movies — animated or otherwise — Sony Pictures Animation’s Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse is ready to roll onto Netflix following its $690 million box-office run. The visually stunning sequel will be available in the U.S. on October 31, with additional countries/territories to be announced. Directed by Justin K. Thompson, Joaquim Dos Santos and Kemp Powers, the CG-animated feature continues the trans-dimensional adventure begun in the Oscar-winning 2018 movie Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse.
After reuniting with Gwen Stacy (Hailee Steinfeld), Brooklyn’s full-time, friendly neighborhood Spider-Man (Shameik Moore) is catapulted across the Multiverse, where he encounters a team of Spider-People (Oscar Isaac, Issa Rae, Daniel Kaluuya, Karan Soni, Andy Samberg, Jake Johnson) charged with protecting its very existence. But when the heroes clash on how to handle a new threat known as The Spot (Jason Schwartzman), Miles finds himself pitted against the other Spiders, and must redefine what it means to be a hero so he can save the people he loves most.
Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse made its theatrical debut in June and is now available on home video. The third film in the series, Beyond the Spider-Verse, was bumped from its Easter 2024 release window this summer as the actors’ strike meant voice over could not be completed on time. A new release date is TBA.
