More Spider-People Are Coming After Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse

In 2018, Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse blew our collective minds by telling a story about six Spider-people teaming up to save the multiverse. It went on to universal success and acclaim.

This week its sequel, Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse, will up that ante and feature more even main characters, as well as dozens and dozens of supporting Spider-people. Our count from a previous trailer was over 20 that were easily discernable, plus many more that weren’t. That’s a lot of Spider-people. And yet, according to the film’s writers and producers, that’s not it. More are coming.

“Believe it or not, you thought you’d seen every Spider-person you can imagine, but not every Spider-person we could imagine,” co-writer and producer Phil Lord said in an interview with Collider this week. “We saved several,” Chris Miller, another co-writer and producer added. Why did they save them? Well because Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse is just the next chapter. In 2024, the third film in the trilogy, Spider-Man: Beyond the Spider-Verse, is coming out and it will have even more Spider-people than this one.

Who could that mean when Across the Spider-Verse already has *deep breath* Miles Morales, Gwen Stacey, Peter B. Parker, Miguel O’Hara, Jessica Drew, Spider-Man India, and Spider-Punk for sure. Plus, maybe, characters like Lady-Spider, Spider-Cop, Bombastic Bag-Man, Werewolf Spider-Man, Superior Spider-Man, Six-Armed Spider-Woman, Retro Gaming Spider-Man, Spider-Monkey, Spider-Man Unlimited, and Mangaverse Spider-Man? Not to mention Spider-Cat, a Spider T-Rex, and more? We’ll find out on March 29, 2024. Probably.

As for what exactly “Beyond the Spider-Verse” could mean, in the same interview, Miller described it this way. “It means a lot of things,” he said. “We see a mapped representation of the known Spider-Verse but there are things that can exist outside of that web of life and destiny.” Intriguing!

Wildly speculate about which Spider-people or beings could show up next year below. Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse opens Friday.

14 of Rick and Morty's Most Excellent Season 4 Moments

In episode nine, “Childrick of Mort,” Rick fought a god when they both fell for the same woman. Er, planet. That moment doesn’t make our list, but it’s still a damn good one. Screenshot: Adult Swim It’s still hard to believe—after so many lengthy delays between previous seasons —that season five of Adult Swim’s Rick and Morty is almost upon us. While we count down the moments until the Emmy-winning series returns on June 20, we thought we’d also look back on season four, highlighting 14 of our favorite and most memorable moments (in no particular order... though we do have one very top favorite, as you’ll see) involving mostly Rick and Morty—but also Summer, Beth, Jerry, and Rick and Morty ’s creatively deployed guest stars too. “Why can you talk?” Screenshot: Adult Swim The A-plot of episode four, “Claw and Hoarder: Special Ricktim’s Morty,” follows the adventures of Rick, Morty, and Summer as they attempt to rescue Morty’s “slut dragon,” Balthromaw, from an evil wizard. ...

Studio Ghibli Park Unveils Its Wondrous Valley of Witches

Screenshot: Kyodo News/YouTube With the Valley of Witches set to open March 16, Ghibli Park will finally be complete. Since 2022, the attraction—nestled in the Expo 2005 Aichi Commemorative Park in Nagoya, Japan—has unlocked realms inspired by Studio Ghibli’s legacy of films . But it’s not to be mistaken for a modern theme park; Hayao Miyazaki himself mandated that the experiences offered at Ghibli Park should evoke being in a Ghibli movie without disturbing the natural surroundings. So it’s more of a throwback to nostalgic attractions and walkthroughs with a carnival ride flair. Inspired by films including My Neighbor Totoro and Spirited Away, the first phase of opening kicked off two years ago, with other areas opening as they were completed. With the Valley of Witches, which features attractions inspired by Howl’s Moving Castle and Kiki’s Delivery Service, among others, the theme park will finally be open in full beginning March 16. Media outlets such as Kyodo News were able...
