Fans’ first look at Spider-Man: Beyond The Spider-Verse has been revealed! Brand new storyboards for the film show off Hailee Steinfeld’s Spider-Gwen and a brand new design for The Spot.
During a recent featurette on social media, the team behind Spider-Man: Beyond The Spider-Verse gave fans their first look at the highly anticipated sequel through a number of storyboards. These new pieces put a large focus on Hailee Steinfeld’s Spider-Gwen, who seems to be leaping into action to save the city from The Spot, the latter snow sporting an interesting new design:
According to insiders, this new design for The Spot will be called The Abyss, a transformation caused by the villain augmenting his powers in Spider-Man: Across The Spider-Verse. It’s currently unclear if these storyboards take place right after that film’s cliffhanger, with Hailee Steinfeld’s Gwen Stacy immediately swinging back into action at the start of Beyond The Spider-Verse, or if they show off the upcoming film’s climax against the big bad.
Directed by Joaquim Dos Santos, Kemp Powers, and Justin K. Thompson from a screenplay written by Phil Lord, Christopher Miller, and Dave Callaham, Across The Spider-Verse also features the voice talents of Jake Johnson, Brian Tyree Henry, Luna Lauren Vélez, Jason Schwartzman, Rachel Dratch, Shea Whigham and Jorma Taccone. Avi Arad, Amy Pascal, and Christina Steinberg are producing the upcoming movie alongside Lord and Miller, who also worked on its predecessor.
The Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse synopsis reads as follows:
“Miles Morales returns for the next chapter of the Oscar-winning Spider-Verse saga… After reuniting with Gwen Stacy, Brooklyn’s full-time, friendly neighborhood Spider-Man is catapulted across the Multiverse, where he encounters a team of Spider-People charged with protecting its very existence. But when the heroes clash on how to handle a new threat, Miles finds himself pitted against the other Spiders and must redefine what it means to be a hero so he can save the people he loves most.”
