‘Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse’ Trailer and Casting Announcements

Sony’s upcoming animated Spider-Man movie Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse received a teaser trailer a few months ago and now we’re getting more news on the cast and characters. We’ve known for months that will Shameik Moore (Dope, The Get Down) stars as Miles Morales, but we now know Jake Johnson will voice Peter Parker.

News for the film up to this point has been scarce.  Thanks to Cineblend‘s, Sean O’Connell who attended the CinemaCon 2018 panel details are emerging.  There are three main villains set to be featured, all of whom we are familiar with.

The Green Goblin, The Kingpin, and The Prowler. Will the new animated movie suffer the three villain syndrome?  Spider-man 3 suffered from this, but I’m confident that this animated film will succeed where its live-action counterparts failed.  Why am I so confident, well.. check out the first teaser trailer below:

Phil Lord and Christopher Miller, the creative minds behind “The Lego Movie” and “21 Jump Street,” bring their unique talents to a fresh vision of a different Spider-Man Universe, with a groundbreaking visual style that’s the first of its kind. “Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse” introduces Brooklyn teen Miles Morales, and the limitless possibilities of the Spider-Verse, where more than one can wear the mask.

We of course know the cinematic green goblin from Willem Dafoe who starred in Sam Raimi’s original 2002 Spider-Man.  The Kingpin has been portrayed brilliantly on screen by Vincent D’Onofrio on Netflix’s Daredevil.  We have yet to see The Prowler on screen, so it’ll be interesting to see a new Spider-Man villain in a movie.

Spider-Man: Into The Spider-Verse slings in theaters on December 14, 2018.
