9 Highly Anticipated Comic Book Movies Being Released In 2018
6. Spider-Man : Into The Spider-Verse
With the popularity of Spider-man at an all time high, Sony tries to capitalize by releasing the first animated Spider-Man feature film ever. Little is known about the film other than it will be called Spider-Man: Into The Spider-Verse and will star Shameik Moore as Miles Morales, the Ultimate Spider-Man.
The title hints at the possibility of other "Spider-Men" appearing in the film, and the trailer seems to confirm that as a fact. Spider-Verse itself was a 2014 comic storyline that saw the villainous Morlun declare a one-man war on all "Spider-Men", hopping from dimension to dimension to reach his goal.
To fend him off it will take the combined efforts of multiple "Spider-Men" of all shapes and sizes across multiple dimensions in a battle so big it can't be contained by one universe.
This will be the first time Miles is portrayed in a feature film, and first as the lead in a Spider-Man film no less. Morales captured audiences imaginations since his donning the Spidey suit in 2011 and his existence was teased in Spider-Man Homecoming, but this will be his formal introduction. The film is set to release around Christmas 2018.
