New footage from the upcoming film 'Spider-Man: Beyond the Spider-Verse' was shown at CinemaCon in Las Vegas, offering a glimpse of how the story will continue after the cliffhanger ending of 'Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse'. The clip shows Miles Morales waking up in an alternate dimension where an evil version of himself, known as the Prowler, is the dominant hero. The footage teases the growing challenges Miles will face as he tries to save his father and stop the Spot while navigating the chaos of the multiverse.

Why it matters

The Spider-Verse animated films have been a critical and commercial success, with the first film 'Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse' winning the Oscar for Best Animated Feature. Anticipation is high for the final chapter to wrap up the story that has expanded the Spider-Man universe in exciting new directions. The reveal of this first footage builds momentum for the film's release in 2027 and the continued expansion of the Spider-Verse across various spinoff projects.

The details

The new footage shown at CinemaCon picks up immediately after the cliffhanger ending of 'Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse', with Miles Morales finding himself trapped on an alternate Earth where there is no Spider-Man. He is quickly confronted by a villainous version of himself known as the Prowler, who knocks him out and ties him up. When Miles wakes up, he tries to explain the events of the previous films to the Prowler, but the alternate Miles is more interested in understanding what a 'Spider-Man' is and why he should care. The tension escalates as Miles begins glitching, indicating his atoms don't belong in this dimension, and he eventually escapes his bonds and flees. The footage then jumps into a rapid montage teasing the larger challenges Miles will face, including saving his father, stopping the Spot, and evading the Spider-Society led by Miguel O'Hara.
