We got that new Miles Morales trailer for “Spider-Man: Across the Spider-verse” and it’s got me wondering… How many Spider-Men are there? I’m guessing it’s infinite but let’s talk about some fan favorites we know. Of course, we got Miles Morales (Earth-1610 in the comics), who’s a teenager with spider-like abilities similar to Peter Parker’s. We’ve seen him come into his own in “Into the Spider-verse” so now I think he’s ready to roll.
The new trailer gives us a closer look at our new antagonist though and that’s Miguel O’Hara from Earth-928 (in the comics) aka The Spider-Man of the year 2099. The new story info we get seems to show a man that may be cracking under the weight of not only the knowledge of the Spider-verse but also (maybe) the feeling of responsibility to ‘keep it in line’.
Since the Spider-Verse is a multiverse within the Marvel universe (or MCU) that features multiple versions of Spiderman from different universes it was also good to get a reference to Peter Parker in “Spider-Man: No Way Home” as well as Dr. Strange. The tone and phrasing by Miguel wasn’t too cheery in reference to them though lol.
On the flip, we already know Spider-Man Noir (Earth-90214) and Spider-Ham (Earth-8311) but excuse me if I missed it but I didn’t see Penny at all. Who did we see? Gwen Stacy (Earth-65), who looks to be getting just a bit closer to ya boy Miles in this trailer which makes sense for me since they’ve shared tender moments in the comics already. I think I’m ready for a lil puppy love. Interdimensional romance is good for the soul lol.
Back to the topic though, there are many different versions of Spider-Man across media (since we did see the Playstation/Insomniac Games Spidey) and since we’ve seen the likes of Ben Reilly (Earth-616) and Spider-Punk; I wonder if we’ll see Madame Web. That could be REALLY cool.
Anyway, I’m out. Holla for more Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse talk below!
