Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse has a lot to live up to when it hits theaters on June 2, with its predecessor — the Oscar-winning Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse — becoming some fans’ favorite Spider-Man movie after its 2018 release. That’s a challenge that seems to be within web-slinging reach for Shameik Moore’s Miles Morales, as he teams up with Hailee Steinfeld’s Gwen Stacy for an adventure across the multiverse that will see them fighting with (and against?) more Spider-heroes as they face a new threat. The movie has screened, so let’s see people’s first reactions to the highly anticipated sequel.
There are high hopes for the animated movie’s opening-weekend, with box office projections ranging from $85 million to over $100 million in a summer filled with big movie releases. Given what we know about Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse, it’s easy to see why. In addition to Shameik Moore and Hailee Steinfeld, the sequel’s voice cast is an impressive array of actors including Brian Tyree Henry, Jake Johnson, Jason Schwartzman, Issa Rae, Daniel Kaluuya, Oscar Isaac, Greta Lee, Andy Samberg and more.
