Across the Spider-Verse
Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse is a 2023 superhero film featuring the character Miles Morales, also known as Spider-Man. It is a sequel to the 2018 film Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse and is produced by Columbia Pictures and Sony Pictures Animation in association with Marvel Entertainment. Sony Pictures Releasing handles the distribution.
The movie takes place in a multiverse called the Spider-Verse, which consists of various alternate universes. Joaquim Dos Santos, Kemp Powers, and Justin K. Thompson co-direct the film, marking Dos Santos and Thompson's feature directorial debuts. The screenplay is written by Phil Lord, Christopher Miller, and David Callaham, with Lord and Miller also serving as producers.
The voice cast includes Shameik Moore as Miles Morales, Hailee Steinfeld, Brian Tyree Henry, Luna Lauren Vélez, Jake Johnson, Jason Schwartzman, Issa Rae, Karan Soni, Daniel Kaluuya, and Oscar Isaac. The story follows Miles as he embarks on an adventure with Gwen Stacy, also known as Spider-Woman, across the multiverse. Along the way, he encounters a new team of Spider-People known as the Spider-Society, led by Miguel O'Hara, who is Spider-Man 2099. However, conflicts arise as they face a new threat.
Development of a sequel to Into the Spider-Verse began before the release of the first film in 2018, with the original creative team attached. The sequel was officially announced in November 2019, and animation work commenced in June 2020. The film features a distinct visual style for each of the six universes visited by the characters. Clocking in at 140 minutes, it holds the record as the longest animated film produced by an American studio.
Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse premiered at the Regency Village Theatre in Los Angeles, California on May 30, 2023. It was released in the United States on June 2, following a delay from its initial April 2022 date due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Like its predecessor, the film received critical acclaim and achieved significant success at the box office, earning over $494 million worldwide against a $100 million production budget. This places it as the sixth highest-grossing film of 2023. A third film, titled Spider-Man: Beyond the Spider-Verse, is scheduled for release on March 29, 2024, and a female-focused spin-off film called Spider-Woman is currently in development.
When will Across the Spider-Verse be Available to Stream?
There is no official announcement found about the streaming platform of Across the Spider-Verse. Due to an ongoing deal between Netflix and Sony (not produced by Disney), Across the Spider-Verse was set to be available on Netflix after its theatrical run. There was an agreement between Disney and Sony to include Sony's Spider-Man content in Disney+, but that was expected to happen sometime after Across the Spider-Verse had premiered on Netflix.
However, it remained unclear whether it would be available on Netflix or any other streaming services. In terms of streaming platforms, Netflix was chosen to host Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse upon its release. As Sony does not have its own dedicated streaming service, they struck a deal with Netflix in 2021, allowing the streaming giant to stream Sony's films after their theatrical release. This agreement was valid for five years, making Across the Spider-Verse a part of this arrangement.
After its theatrical run, Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse will eventually be available on popular streaming platforms like Netflix and Disney Plus. However, specific release dates for these platforms have not been announced yet. Stay tuned for updates and official announcements regarding the availability of Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse on Netflix, Disney Plus, and other streaming services. Remember, supporting the creators and industry by using authorized streaming platforms is crucial for the continued production of quality content.

Typically, movies produced by Disney follow a pattern of arriving on Disney+ a few months after their theatrical release. Given this trend, it is highly likely that Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse will be available to stream on Disney+ later this year.
While an exact release date for the film on Disney+ has not been announced, it is anticipated that it will become available on the platform around late August 2023 or during the Labor Day weekend in early September.

Story of Across the Spider-Verse
Earth-65: Gwen Stacy's Secret Identity
On Earth-65, Gwen Stacy leads a double life as Spider-Woman while living with her father, Captain George Stacy. However, George is unaware of Gwen's heroic alter ego. Years ago, Gwen accidentally caused the death of her best friend, Peter Parker, who had transformed into the Lizard. Since then, the police have been pursuing her. One night, Gwen encounters an alternate universe version of Vulture from a Renaissance-themed reality. Miguel O'Hara and Jess Drew arrive using portal-generating watches to assist Gwen in defeating Vulture. When George confronts Gwen, she reveals her secret identity, leading to a tense confrontation. Reluctantly, Miguel grants Gwen membership in the Spider-Society, and they escape through a portal with Jess.
Earth-1610: Miles Morales' Struggles
In Brooklyn on Earth-1610, Miles Morales is still adjusting to his role as Spider-Man. He yearns for Gwen's company and faces pressure to meet his parents' expectations. Miles encounters the Spot, a scientist from Alchemax who gained portal-infused powers after the collider's destruction. Blaming Miles for his condition, the Spot reveals that he inadvertently transported the spider that bit Miles from another universe, Earth-42. The Spot has learned to travel between universes to gain more power.
Gwen's Arrival and the Chase
Gwen travels to Earth-1610, reuniting with Miles while secretly tracking the Spot across dimensions. Miles follows Gwen as she traces the Spot to Mumbattan on Earth-50101. They join forces with Pavitr Prabhakar and Hobie Brown to confront the Spot, who successfully absorbs the power of that world's collider. During their encounter, Miles and the Spot share a vision of Miles' father, Jeff, being killed. As the collider collapses, Miles saves the father of Pavitr's girlfriend, but Mumbattan faces destruction from the resulting disruption. Members of the Spider-Society arrive to assess the situation, and Miles, Gwen, and Hobie are sent to the Society's headquarters on Earth-928, where numerous Spider-People reside.
Revelations and Confrontations
In the headquarters, Miguel explains the concept of the "Spider-Verse" and the significance of "canon events" in each Spider-Person's story. He shares his own failed attempt to replace his deceased counterpart from another universe. Miles realizes that the Spot killing Jeff, who is about to be promoted to police captain, is a canon event. Miguel locks up Miles to prevent him from interfering, but with Hobie's help, Miles escapes. Hobie then leaves the Spider-Society. Miguel orders the capture of Miles, resulting in a chaotic chase through the complex and the city. Finally, Miguel corners Miles and reveals that he was never meant to become Spider-Man, causing Miles to flee. Gwen is expelled from the Society by Miguel but reconciles with George, who decides to step down as police captain. George gives Gwen a watch left by Hobie, which she decides to use to aid Miles.
Convergence and Search for Miles
Miles returns to his apartment and reveals his secret identity to his mother, who does not recognize him. Experiencing glitches, Miles realizes he is on Earth-42, where his deceased uncle Aaron Davis is alive, while Jeff is dead. Meanwhile, Miguel, Jess, and Ben Reilly travel to Earth-1610 in search of Miles. Gwen arrives through her own portal and sends Ben through it. She then assures Miles' parents that she will bring him home, while Jess eavesdrops on their conversation. On Earth-1610, Aaron interrogates Miles alongside the Earth-42 Miles, who has become the Prowler.
As the Spot initiates a multiversal attack on Earth-1610, Gwen assembles a team consisting of Peter B. Parker, Mayday (Peter's infant daughter), Pavitr, Hobie, Margo, Spider-Man Noir, Peni Parker, and Spider-Ham to search for Miles.
