Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse

Brooklyn teenager Miles Morales develops powers and encounters Spider-People from other worlds. Learning from them does not mean becoming a copy of any one of them: the adventure gives Miles the problem of finding his own place in a much larger story.

The animation makes different visual languages part of the storytelling. Watch how movement, lettering and color express Miles’s changing confidence. The many versions of Spider-Man work best as a way to understand Miles, rather than as a checklist of references.

Start here for Miles. The film introduces its central ideas through his experience; the other Spider-Man films can remain optional discoveries.

This animated film begins Miles’s Spider-Verse feature series. It provides its own introduction and does not require the live-action Spider-Man movies.
