“Anyone else getting a tingling feeling?” Watch the trailer Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse TBC What if there was more than one Spidey? This stunning animation ponders just that! DIRECTORS Bob Persichetti, Peter Ramsey, Rodney Rothman VOICES Nicolas Cage, Lily Tomlin “In your universe, there’s only one Spider- Man. But there’s another universe. It looks and sounds like yours – but it’s not.” This animated, dimension- hopping spin on the Spidey cannon looks absolutely incredible, with non-stop action and visuals so gorgeous they’ll take your breath away. Co-written by The LEGO Movie’s Phil Lord, Spider- Man: Into the Spider-Verse sees Shameik Moore’s Miles Morales (a familiar name to fans of the Spidey comics) taking centre stage, with the better-known Peter Parker (voiced by New Girl’s Jake INTRODUCING MILES MORALES 14 DEC 12 odeon.co.uk Created by Brian Michael Bendis and Sara Pichelli, Miles Morales first appeared in Ultimate Fallout #4, taking over the mantle of Spider-Man following Peter Parker’s death. An Afro-Latino teen, the character was inspired by President Barack Obama and actor Donald Glover. Johnson) serving as his mentor. It’s the first movie to feature a bi-racial superhero as its lead, and that isn’t the only way this film breaks new ground. Its eye-popping techniques include the use of speech bubbles and splash panels, as if a comic-book has sprung to life – it’s incredible! The smart storyline also ensnares from the start, with Miles teaming up with Spider-People from different dimensions (including Nicolas Cage’s Spider-Man Noir and Hailee Steinfeld’s Spider- Gwen) to prevent an almighty threat that could end life as we know it. As Moore put it in a recent interview: “This is going to take Spider-Man to a whole new level.” Oh boy!
