The sequel to Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse will hit theaters April 8, 2022.

The original Spider-Verse won the Oscar for best animated feature, and was praised for its innovative animation style and inclusive storytelling.

The film voice starred Shameik Moore as Miles Morales, a teenager who takes up the mantel of Spider-Man after the death of Peter Parker. He ends up teaming up with a group of Spider-powered heroes (including a middle-aged Peter Parker from another dimension) in order to stop the Kingpin (Liev Schreiber). The voice cast also included Jake Johnson, Hailee Steinfeld, Mahershala Ali and Brian Tyree Henry and was produced by Phil Lord and Chris Miller, who return for the sequel.

Sony also has a Venom sequel in the works with Tom Hardy, as well as another Spider-Man spinoff, Jared Leto‘s Morbius, coming up.
