Yahoo Movies Where to stream Spider-Man: Across The Spider-Verse in the UK
Miles Morales is back for his biggest challenge yet
Tom Holland’s Peter Parker isn’t the only Spider-Man to tamper with the multi-verse. Shameik Moore’s Miles Morales was doing it in 2018’s Spider-Man: Into The Spider-Verse, and now he’s doing it again.
Long-awaited follow-up Spider-Man: Across The Spider-Verse sees Morales’ web-head venture deep into another animated trip across the multi-verse in a story that’s so big, it needs to be split into two parts.
Following the events of his previous (and critically acclaimed) adventure that saw him team up with a gang of parallel universe Spider-Men/Women in order to bring down a web of villains controlled by Kingpin, Morales is pulled into the multi-verse once more by his Spidey-friend Gwen Stacey, voiced by Hailee Steinfeld.
This two-part adventure promises more of the mind-melting action and glorious blend of eclectic animation styles that not only gave its live-action MCU counterpart a run for its money but bagged an Oscar gold for 2019’s Best Animated Feature.

What happens in Spider-Man: Across The Spider-Verse?
Set shortly after the events of the first movie, Morales finds himself approached by Stacy AKA multi-verse Spider-Woman who enlists his help with a perilous mission that could help to save every Spider-Man in every universe.
With a shady new villain on the loose with powers that threaten multiple realities, Morales and Stacy join forces with a supergroup of Spider-Man protectors made up of web-slingers from different universes.
Together, they devise a plan to help bring down their mysterious new foe but when Morales finds himself at odds with their leader’s grand plan, saving the day becomes infinitely trickier.
This time, directors Joaquim Dos Santos, Kemp Powers and Justin K. Thompson take over from part one’s Bob Persichetti, Peter Ramsey and Rodney Rothman, working from a script penned by The Lego Movie Phil Lord and Chris Miller, alongside Wonder Woman 1984 scribe David Callaham.
As it stands, little is currently known about the plot of trilogy-closer Spider-Man: Beyond The Spider-Verse besides a tentative release date of Friday, 29 March 2024.
