Sony Pictures Animation has rolled out a new Spider-Man: Into The Spider-Verse international video featurette that introduces the different versions of Spider-Man from the multiple universes to the audience.
The new team of Spider-Man includes Miles Morales voiced by Shameik Moore, Peter Parker voiced by Jake Johnson, Spider-Gwen voiced by Hailee Steinfeld, Spider-Man Noir voiced by Nic Cage, Peni Parker voiced by Kimiko Glenn, and Spider-Ham voiced by John Mulaney.
The featurette shows Peter Parker’s voice actor Johnson explaining his role in the film.
“There are many different spider heroes across the Spider-Verse,” Johnson explains in the video. “This movie is about Miles Morales and my character helps him come into his own.”
Steinfeld explains she is playing the spectacular character of Spider-Gwen in Spider-Man: Into The Spider-Verse who is a strong female hero and a natural leader. Nic Cage describes his character of Spider-Man Noir as hard-boiled and the edgiest Spider-Man version.
Peni Parker, who doesn’t have powers of her own, pilots the Sp//dr armor against villains across the Spider-verse with robot powered strings. The mech suit was originally created by her father in the Edge of Spider-verse comics.

Surprisingly, comic book legend Stan Lee, whom we lost earlier this month, will also make an appearance in animated form in Sony’s Spider-Man: Into The Spider-Verse. The film’s producers, Phil Lord, and Chris Miller have confirmed Lee’s cameo in the film.
Directed by Bob Persichetti, Peter Ramsey, and Rodney Rothman, from a screenplay by Phil Lord and Rothman, the film will see the different Spider-Man versions come together to fight against Green Goblin, The Kingpin, and The Prowler.
Considering the early positive reactions for Spider-Man: Into The Spider-Verse, the film is expected to get an opening between $28 million and $35 million.
Spider-Man: Into the Spider-verse is set to debut in theaters on December 14th, 2018.
