Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse

I'm afraid that to most people, Miles will never be more than "The Black Spider-Man" (Never mind that he's a Black Latino). I also doubt they will be going for a "Dead Peter" storyline, not while also exploiting that character in other media. More likely they'll just have them coexist, like in the current comics.

Honestly I think this film is what Miles needs to stop being "black Peter". The biggest problem with Miles as a character, at least versus other diverse characters in modern Marvel comics, is that his place is, well, literally Black (Latino) Spider-Man. Let him take care of New York City while Peter goes off on his wacky globetrotting adventures because he's a billionaire now or something I guess. He doesn't have his own distinct niche, his unique elements aren't played up enough to really make him seem like much more than a convenient replacement while the REAL Spider-Man goes off in more interesting directions. Hell, every time he DOES get a new element (like Ganke), it just gets slapped onto Peter's mythos, as seen in the new film.

But if Lord/Miller can actually write a story that adds substantial new concepts and elements to Miles as a character, like say a memorable unique rogue's gallery, or a new angle to approach his story from beyond "meditation on black culture" and "meditation on the shadow of Peter Parker", well it could actually build a space for Miles in Marvel Comics, a permanent one.

Imagine the shock of people when the movie starts with Peter dying...

I dunno if it'll do that plotline, honestly I'm not sure if they SHOULD use that plotline.

How else would Miles get to be Spider-Man? :p

Alex Hirsch is working on the movie.

Cool.

Ice-Cube rumored to be in line to voice Jefferson Davis. [1]

Spider-Man's fighting the Confederacy?

I just realized something.

Can Sony Pictures Animation (or whoever's making the movie) use HYDRA if it wants to or do they have to ask Marvel for permission to use HYDRA?

Because wasn't HYDRA a big part of Miles!Spider-Man? Or am I misremembering stuff?

Shameik Moore to voice Miles while Liev Schreiber to voice the villain.[1]

Interesting. So the villain's probably not the Prowler.

Ultimate Green Goblin?

Or Sabertooth :p

The movie has been moved up by a week[1]

The first poster spotted at the licensing expo◊.

They couldn't have been bothered to make it resembles Miles' spider symbol? Or give it his colors.

Reminds me of graffiti.

That's probably what they were going for.

If I had to guess, this teaser poster is not so much establishing Miles, but rather the tone of the movie.

Again, it's a guess, so take it with a grain a salt.

The tone I get from graffiti is usually urban artistic flare, grittness, or/and hip hop. Seems kinda different from last couple of Sony animted movies.

That and Miles first started off with a (cheap) duplicate of Peter's costume, so I could see the same happening in this movie.

Mahershala Ali is reportedly voicing the Prowler, Spider-Man's uncle.

I always pictured Mahershala as the live action Prowler but animation will have to do.

We're finally getting something in two days.

The movie's title is "Into the Spider-Verse" by the way

Huh, I thought the title was already revealed to be Spider-Man: The Animation
