Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse Trailer, My Thoughts

In 2011, a new Spider-Man spun his webs for the first time: Miles Morales. First appearing in Ultimate Fallout #4 (August 2011), Miles was the new Spider-Man of the Ultimate Marvel Universe after the death of that world's Peter Parker. His adventures would be praised, and the character would be quite popular. He would actually become so popular, that when the Ultimate Universe was destroyed in 2015's Secret Wars event, Marvel would bring him to the mainline Marvel Universe, and he's been a part of it ever since, having adventures on his own and occasionally teaming up with the adult Peter Parker of the main MU.

Miles himself would go on to appear in toys, and cartoons. The character would also be given a nod to as well in the MCU, as a minor criminal that Spidey catches is revealed to be Aaron Davis, who is Miles's uncle. In a nice bit of serendipity, Davis was played by Donald Glover, who was one of the inspirations behind Miles.

In 2015, an animated film focusing on Miles as Spider-Man was announced, which I looked at the teaser for here. But now, there's a full-blown trailer for the film, which will be released in December. Let's take a look!

I love how the film looks already. The animation style is incredible.

I also like Miles himself already, and I also already like Shameik Moore's voice. It feels like it fits him.

Poor Miles. A parent can be embarrassing, but even worse when they're a cop.

Wow. The Green Goblin there is huge. Norman Osborn really needs to cut back on the steroids. I can't imagine how a man that bulky can move at all.

I like the little detail of Peter and Miles's Spider-Senses reacting to each other.

The usage of comic panels there looks really cool.

You know, when I first heard they were bringing Miles to the main Marvel Universe, I was hoping that we'd see Peter take a mentor role to Miles. This was...not quite what I had in mind. But gotta show no matter what the universe, Peter has his Parker luck.

Well, to be fair Miles, he may not be able to impart much on keeping your life together, but you'll get plenty of web-swinging tips from him.

Peter's right, Miles. You can only be you. Both of you can be Spider-Man, just in different ways.

That bit of Miles leaping off the skyscraper is incredible. And I get the feeling his hoodie Spidey suit will be a popular look.

And we may see both Spider-Men fighting the Prowler, most likely the Aaron Davis one, considering Miles is the focus here.

Little flash of Miles using his power to turn invisible. Nice.

I wonder if Jefferson Davis would regret that speech if he knew Miles was Spider-Man.

Heh heh, having a cop parent can be real embarrassing, Miles. But don't feel bad, you still got superpowers.

HOLY COW SPIDER-GWEN!

Well, this seems like it will be a fun film. My only complaint about the trailer isn't that it doesn't seem to hint in anyway what this big multiversal threat is as Miles mentions parallel universes a few times. Maybe it's the Steroid Goblin? I'm not sure. The trailer emphasizes Peter and Miles's interactions, and that was the big strength. It's great seeing the veteran hero impart some wisdom to his younger legacy. This film seems like it will be a lot of fun, and as a Spider-Fan, I cannot skip this!
