New 'Spider-Man: Across The Spider-Verse' Trailer Promises A Swinging Time

There's even a cameo by "Spider-Man" creator Stan Lee.

The new trailer for “Spider-Man: Across The Spider-Verse” dropped on Tuesday to the delight of fans of the series.

The sneak peek of the new animated film, a sequel to 2018′s Oscar-winning “Spider-Man: Into The Spider-Verse,” shows lead character Miles Morales coming to terms with the great responsibility that comes with his great power (though that line doesn’t explicitly appear in the trailer).

The first part of the trailer is subdued and features Morales’ mom giving him a pep talk about how she wants to make sure he “feels like he belongs wherever he wants to be.”

After a Stan Lee cameo (!), the action starts up and doesn’t relent until the end of the trailer.

So far, reactions on social media have been mostly positive, though some Twitter users are disappointed they have to wait until June 2, 2023, to actually see the final product.

In 2002 cult director Sam Raimi finally brought our favorite web-slinger to the big screen. The film, Spider-Man, was a huge success and spawned two sequels, not to mention making huge stars of both Tobey Maguire and Kirsten Dunst. The series has already been rebooted, with The Amazing Spider-Man releasing this week.

You may have heard of a little play called Spider-Man: Turn Off the Dark. Bono and the Edge are inexplicably involved. Glenn Beck explicably loves it. Lots of people got hurt making it. In short, it’s a smash! Make mine Marvel.

Spidey has had a lot of great moments. He’s also had many cringe-worthy moments that have sent him straight to the therapist’s couch. In 1977 CBS had a hand in one such moment by airing The Amazing Spider-Man, a show so bad it scarred an entire generation of latch-key kids. Want more horrible Spider-Man moments?

Spider-Man, after all, is a comic book character, so it makes sense that he’d be at home in cartoons. His animated form has had tons of after-school success ever since 1981’s Spider-Man aired on syndication.

Video games based on pre-existing properties often suck. Still, they keep coming and coming (and coming). Case in point: Spider-Man has had dozens of attempts at gaming fame since his first home console experiment in 1982 on the Atari 2600. Most have been average at best, but there is an exception or two. Want more video games based on movies? Check out The Best (and Worst) Video Games Based on Movies.
