This past weekend saw the delivery of a special holiday treat: the first trailer for Spider-Man: Into The Spider-Verse, an animated movie starring the second Spider-Man of Marvel Comics’ Ultimate Universe, Miles Morales.
This lack of connection to the larger cinematic universe may prove a detriment to Spider-Man: Into The Spider-Verse.
The animated Into the Spider-Verse and live-action Spider-Man films won’t connect, according to writers Phil Lord and Chris Miller.
While those dreams may prove a reality someday, it will not be Into The Spider-Verse that breaches that dimensional barrier.
