Together, they must all find a way to restore their own universes and set things right before evil crime boss the Kingpin (Schreiber) can control it…

IN ONE SENTENCE, WHY SHOULD YOU BE EXCITED?

A Spider-Man movie unlike any other, this visually stunning and incredibly funny animated film pushes the web-slinger into new territory across several parallel universes.
