After the introduction of alternate Spider-Man in Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse, the next Spider-Man movie will be called Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse.
Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse will be directed by Joaquim Dos Santos, Kemp Powers, and Justin K. Thompson from a script by David Calla. Shameik Moore is Spider-Man, Oscar Isaac is Spider-Man 2099, Hailee Steinfeld is Spider-Gwen, Jake Johnson is Peter B.Parker, and Jessica Drew is Spider- Woman. The Z-list villain was revealed to be the main antagonist of the Spider-Verse follow-up courtesy of the movie's official Twitter account, with a piece of promotional art offering our first look at The Spot in action.
The Spot, the most formidable foe yet, will be voiced by the star of Moonrise Kingdom and Scott Pilgrim vs. the World. In the background of the new artwork, you can see that he often just uses the portals, or spots, to make his superhero foes punch themselves, or their allies, in the face. Brooklyn's full-time, friendly neighborhood Spider-Man is transported to all manner of different universes as he joins forces with Gwen Stacy and a new team of Spider-People to face off with a villain more powerful than anything they have ever encountered.
On June 2, 2023, Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse will be released in the United States. The rumors of The Spot as the movie's villain began to spread last year and it turns out, this time at least, that the rumors were true.
The Spot is a member of the rogue's gallery that has the ability to access and manipulate interdimensional portals which become stuck to his skin as a result of another classic comic book lab. Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse will feature a battle between Miles and The Spot. You can hear him in action in Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse exclusively in movie theaters on June 2, 2023. Spider-Man: Beyond the Spider-Verse will be released in March of 2024. Dr. Jonathan Ohnn was able to harness the power of space warps because of his work in the lab.
In battle, The Spot's ability to transport himself or any part of his body across unlimited distances proves to be useful. It's a mystery why anyone would want to work in a lab in the world of comics.
