Spider-Man Into The Spider-Verse Trailer: 6 Ups and 1 Down
Ups...
6. The Animation
Sony
Blending a pop-up, almost water colour style with the scale of a classic comic book, it's fair to say that Sony's animation department has worked up a treat.
It's one of the most stunning animated things we've seen for years, and in terms of sheer uniqueness alone, one that must be commended immediately for its reinvigorating qualities.
For a character that's been as done to death as the wall-crawler, it's great to see Sony opt for a different way of depicting him this time around. Miles is intrinsic to that of course (some would say he's eclipsed Peter Parker's comics self for a while anyway), but in carving out a unique look that's as dazzling as it is refreshing, Spider-Verse could kickstart a whole wave of animated Marvel movies.
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.
