It was previously revealed that Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse will consist of 240 Spider-Man characters, and well… it turns out there will be even more! Director Justin Thompson recently offered an update on the count of Spider-Man characters that will appear in the film and that number is now up to 280 characters! During an interview with Collider, the director said:
“The exact number? Oh boy, we kept adding, right up to the end. Honestly, I’ll be good enough for you, we just finished the movie, like, in the last couple of weeks, and I don’t know. I don’t think I had time to stop and do one final count. But I think it was about 280 last time I looked in. Just to be clear, this doesn’t mean specific, unique characters that you might recognize, it could mean variations as well. But if you’re only talking about named characters, then I think there’s probably about 95 of them.”
280 variations of Spider-Man is a lot! Many of these characters have been teased in the trailers we’ve seen with all the different Spider-Man characters chasing after Miles Morales.
The cast of the film includes Shameik Moore like miles, Hailee Steinfeld like Gwen, Brian Tiree Henry as Miles’ father, Jefferson Davis; Luna Lauren Velez as Miles’ mom, Rio Morales; Issa Rae as Jessica Drew, aka Spider-Woman; Jorma Taccone as Vulture; Rachel Dratch; Shea Whigham; Greta Lee; AND Jason Schwartzmann as the villain, Spot. Andy Samberg he also recently joined the cast.
The characters will be spread across multiple universes including Gwen’s Earth-65, with its signature watercolor palette; India-inspired Mumbattan; Nueva York, the home of Oscar Isaacof Spider-Man 2099, aka Miguel O’Hara; the punk New London, inhabited by Daniel Kaluyaby Hobart “Hobie” Brown, aka Spider-Punk; and then there is a secret fifth dimension that is kept well hidden for now.
The sequel follows Miles Morales as he is “immersed in the multiverse where he joins forces with Gwen Stacy and a new team of Spider-folk to take on a villain more powerful than anything they’ve ever encountered.”
After reuniting with Gwen Stacy, “the friendly Brooklyn neighborhood Spider-Man is catapulted across the Multiverse, where he meets a team of Spider-People charged with protecting his very existence. But when the heroes clash over how to handle a new threat, 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.
The film will be released on June 2, 2023!
