Spider-Man Into The Spider-Verse Trailer: 6 Ups and 1 Down
4. Jake Johnson's Spidey
Sony
Those who were crying out to see a middle-aged Peter Parker wolfing down a cheeseburger while staff look on in sheer disgust, look no further - Into the Spider-Verse has you well and truly catered for.
Jake Johnson's turn as Peter Parker is... different, to say the least. It also looks set to be an incredibly charming, honest take on the character, with most depictions of Peter ending just as he enters adulthood and... not much else, really.
Seeing an older Spidey also gives audiences the chance to look at Peter through different eyes. Is he still the same, funny kid from Queens? Or is he more serious than before?
Either way it'll be interesting to see, with the former New Girl actor also set to mark his comic book debut.
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.
