Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse Teaser Trailer

It has been known for a while that an animated film focusing on the Miles Morales Spider-Man was in development, with Jamaican-American actor Shameik Moore of Netflix's The Get Down fame voicing the title character. And finally, a trailer is out. And here it is.


I have to say, I like the look of the footage. From what I understand, it was a mixture of CGI and hand-drawn techniques, and it looks very seamless and beautiful.

We see a hooded figure walking towards a gravestone. It doesn't reveal the name, except for a couple of letters. The figure turns around, revealing a black Spider-Man mask. Yup, it's Miles Morales, and he senses some big-time trouble. Which means we can assume that the grave is of the original Spider-Man, Peter Parker. When Miles was originally introduced in the Ultimate line of Marvel Comics, Peter was dead. Because of his popularity, he was brought over to the main MU, where he shares the name with the original Spidey. Confusing, I know.

I have to say, I don't really get why Miles is wearing the hoodie, shorts, and Nikes over his costume. Miles has a nice costume, let us see it. But seeing that flip off the building was awesome, and I loved that shot that makes the city look upside-down.

We do get a brief shot of Miles chasing after the Prowler. He's clad similarly to the Hobie Brown Prowler, but considering it's Miles who is the focus of this movie, it's likely the Aaron Davis Prowler. Aaron Davis is Miles's criminal uncle. I think they'll be amalgamated for this movie.

There's a shot of the suit! Looks great, Miles!

He's got to be talking to Peter in that stinger. It does makes sense. Spider-Verse was a storyline that was about various versions and incarnations of Spider-Man facing a great threat. Dimension-hopping was a big part of that storyline, and if Miles' native version of Peter is dead, then it's certainly plausible that he's talking to another version of Peter.

I want to see this movie. It sounds like a real blast.
