WHAT’S IT ABOUT?

Teenager Miles Morales (Moore) juggles his personal life with his secret identity as the crime-fighting web-slinger Spider-Man, but finds himself taken aback when he meets Peter Parker (Johnson), a Spider-Man from another universe, and a whole bunch of other Spider-Men from other parallel universes, including Gwen Stacy (Steinfeld). 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.
