The Hollywood Reporter was the first to report this new information… though there sadly aren’t too many extra details featured in their story.
Phil Lord and Chris Miller penned the screenplay for the movie, and its set to be directed by the team of Peter Ramsey (Rise of the Guardians) and Bob Persichetti (writer of The Little Prince).
At this time, Sony Pictures Animation is keeping a tight lid on the identity of the central antagonist in the animated movie, and the only thing that’s really known about the plot is that it will center on Miles Morales as he balances life as a teenager and as a wall-crawling vigilante (you know, the basic Spider-Man set-up).
