Spider-Man Into The Spider-Verse Trailer: 6 Ups and 1 Down

You had me at Spider-Gwen.

It's been little over seven months since we last got a glimpse of Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse, but here come Sony looking to brighten our Wednesday with a fresh look at the film.

Phil Lord and Chris Miller's animated adaptation of the Spidey license already looked impressive when it first debuted in December, but with a story now in place and a buttload to pick apart, it's fair to say that this trailer has already outdone the teaser we saw before.

Boasting a cast comprised of Shameik Moore, Hailee Steinfeld, Mahershala Ali, Jake Johnson, Liev Schreiber, Brian Tyree, Henry Luna, Lauren Velez and Lily Tomlin, Into the Spider-Verse is an ensemble in every sense of the word, and while we're still hoping that Miles leads the film from start to finish, the fact this latest look lent heavily on the promise of there being multiple Spider-Men is sure to make it one of the most unique takes on the mythos we've seen so far.

It looks incredible, and with a Christmas release date in mind, and the prospect of further teases at San Diego Comic Con, Sony's latest animated effort could yet eclipse the remaining Marvel offerings later this year - even Ant-Man.

It might not be live action, but when a film looks this good, who could possibly care?

Content Producer/Presenter

WhatCulture's very own resident movie guy, Ewan has been working in the content creation biz for over 10 years now, having started as a freelance contributor to WhatCulture Gaming all the way back in 2015. After graduating with a First-Class Honours in History from Northumbria University in 2017 (where he won a prize for a totally killer dissertation on the Watergate years), Ewan took on the role of Comics Editor at WhatCulture and quickly developed WhatCulture Comics into one of the biggest superhero-focused channels on YouTube. He followed this with a brief hiatus at Screen Rant in 2021, where he worked across the Gaming and Film sections as a writer and editor, before returning to WhatCulture as a Senior Content Producer / Presenter in 2023. He started his own podcast, We Love Dad Movies, in 2022, and has contributed several written pieces to the Eisner-nominated comics website Shelfdust as well. In his current role, Ewan incorporates his love of cinema, comic books, and history into written pieces and video essays for WhatCulture's Film & TV channel, as well as WhatCulture Gaming and WhatCulture Horror, with a particular focus on nineties-era Dad Movies, old school Westerns, and Golden Age Hollywood Noir. John Carpenter is his fave, and he thinks Batman Beyond should never have been cancelled. If that's your vibe, you'll probably like his stuff.
