Sony Animation Studios team up with the writers-directors of Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs for this animated, Academy Award-winning, multiverse Spider-Man film. Features the voices of Shameik Moore (Dope), Liev Schreiber (Spotlight) and Oscar winner Mahershala Ali (Moonlight).
Miles Morales (Moore) is juggling life between being a high school student and being Spider-Man. When Wilson "Kingpin" Fisk (Schreiber) uses a super collider, another Spider-Man from another dimension, Peter Parker (Johnson), accidentally winds up in Miles' dimension.

Reviews & comments
Variety
pressJust when you thought you couldn't take another Spider-Man reboot, along comes the movie to put them all in perspective.
Total Film
pressForget the quantum physics and dimension-hopping: the most impossible thing to believe here is that Spider-Man feels exciting and new again.
The Guardian
pressNot since Sam Raimi's godly mid-2000s run has the kinetic exhilaration of web-swinging felt so tactile, and the Manhattan through which our hero sails felt so specifically realised.
Stuff
pressSpider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse is a blast of craft and storytelling. In an overcrowded and mostly predictable genre, it is exactly the superhero movie I didn't even know I needed to see.
New Zealand Herald
pressThe result is an unconventional, vibrantly fresh and laugh-a-minute loving ode to the comics. It's really something special.
Los Angeles Times
pressWhat distinguishes "Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse" in the end is that it takes its mission seriously, even when it's being transparently silly.
Hollywood Reporter
pressA free-wheeling, fast-and-loose, strikingly animated addition to one of the biggest library [sic] of films in the Marvel collection.
FilmInk
pressA two hour-long explosion of joy and colour, brimming with laughter and heart...
Empire Magazine
pressFresh, funny and frequently bonkers, Into The Spider-Verse is an astonishing shot of cinematic superhero adrenaline. For such an over-familiar character, somehow, this feels original and entirely new.
An action-packed and enjoyable film. It is a film that goes all out and does it well. It does not feel cluttered with all the different characters, with each one bring a different personality to the film. The animation really stands out and is beautifully done to captivate the beauty of New York. Loved all the references in the film and they really don't...
Laugh-out-loud moments, six spider-people to cheer for, from schoolboy version to out-of-shape Parker. Who had time to eat popcorn?! I liked it a lot!!
Perhaps the best version of Spider-Man on screen? Will Miles Morales be the more popular Spider-Man in five years time is a question my friend posed and it's an interesting one. Even though the high school tropes have been done to death on screen, this still manages to capture the essence of a high-schooler in a fresh way. Comedic timing is great throughout...
