From the trailers we have already received, we already know that Miles Morales will be coming face-to-face with a bunch of Spider-People in Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse. In the sequel to Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse, the young Spider-Man will be introduced to the Spider Society comprised of similar heroes from around the universe. Sitting down with Collider, directors Kemp Powers, Joaquim Dos Santos, and Justin Thompson touched on the new Spider-People we can expect to see.
Aside from the return of Peter B. Parker, Spider-Gwen, Spider-Man Noir, and Peter Porker, the film is set to feature 280 Spider-People including Spider-Punk, Spider-Man 2099, Spider-Woman, Spider-Man India, Spider-Cat, and many more. “The exact number? Oh boy, we kept adding, like all the way up until the very end. Honestly, I’m gonna be level with you, we just finished the film, like in the last like two weeks, and I don’t think I’ve had time to pause and actually take a final count. But I think it was about 280 the last time I looked in. Just to be clear, that doesn’t mean specific, unique characters that you might recognize, it might mean variations as well.
But if you’re just talking about named characters, then I think there’s probably about 95,” said Thompson. Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse is now set to hit theaters June 2.
