New York City teenager Miles Morales struggles to live up to the expectations of his father, police officer Jefferson Davis, who sees Spider-Man as a menace. The third and final film in the trilogy, Spider-Man: Beyond the Spider-Verse, is set to be released in March 2024, while a female-focused spin-off film is also in development, with a television series being considered. The film won Best Animated Feature at the 91st Academy Awards-being the first non- Disney/ Pixar film to win the award since Rango (2011) and was similarly successful at the 76th Golden Globe Awards, the 72nd British Academy Film Awards, and the 46th Annie Awards.Ī sequel, Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse, was released on June 2, 2023, and received similar acclaim from critics. The film grossed $384.3 million worldwide against a $90 million budget and received critical acclaim. Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse premiered at the Regency Village Theater in Los Angeles on December 1, 2018, and was theatrically released in the United States on December 14. The film is dedicated to the memories of the creators of Spider-Man, Stan Lee and Steve Ditko, who both died in 2018. The film required up to 140 animators, the largest crew used by Sony Pictures Animation on a feature film. Lord and Miller wanted the film to have a unique style, combining computer animation with traditional hand-drawn comic book techniques inspired by the work of Miles Morales co-creator Sara Pichelli.

Persichetti, Ramsey and Rothman joined over the next two years, with Moore and Schreiber cast in April 2017. Plans for an animated Spider-Man film by Phil Lord and Christopher Miller were leaked in 2014 and announced in April 2015. The film's story follows Miles Morales as he becomes the new Spider-Man and joins other Spider-People from various parallel universes to save his universe from Kingpin. Directed by Bob Persichetti, Peter Ramsey, and Rodney Rothman (in Persichetti and Rothman's feature directorial debuts) from a screenplay by Phil Lord and Rothman, it stars Shameik Moore as Morales, alongside the voices of Jake Johnson, Hailee Steinfeld, Mahershala Ali, Brian Tyree Henry, Lily Tomlin, Luna Lauren Vélez, Zoë Kravitz, John Mulaney, Kimiko Glenn, Nicolas Cage, and Liev Schreiber. Distributed by Sony Pictures Releasing, it is the first animated film in the Spider-Man franchise. Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse is a 2018 American computer-animated superhero film featuring the Marvel Comics character Miles Morales / Spider-Man, produced by Columbia Pictures and Sony Pictures Animation in association with Marvel Entertainment.
