The first story of Miles Morales became a milestone for Sony as fans and critics appreciated the film for its story and out-of-the-box approach which gave a unique visual and artsy look to the film. As a result, fans are eager for the upcoming sequel, Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse which will tell the story of some new Spider-People along with the ones we are familiar with, that too in six different animation styles.
While fans were excited to watch the sequel, they have another reason to be hyped when Sony decided to drop a new trailer for Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse, where we saw some old and new faces, and the film decided to bring back Peter Parker with a new addition, Mayday Watson Parker, his daughter. And the fans of the movie are excited to see the ‘family-man’ version of their beloved character and the adorable addition to the sequel.
The Cutest Addition in Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse
Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse has taken the concept of Multi-Verse and expanded it more intricately, by showing the fans a world full of Spider-People, which showed a plethora of variants of Spider-Man, and the sequel was hyped because of Miguel O’Hara popularly known as his alias Spider-Man 2099.
However, his spotlight has been stolen by Mayday Parker, the tiniest addition in the upcoming Spider-Verse film, and fans are excited to watch Peter Parker being a superhero and a father in the sequel. And fans are asking for a solo Spider-Girl project featuring Mayday Parker.
Can't wait for general audiences to fall in love with the idea of Peter as a family man the same way comic book fans did years ago, only for Marvel to proceed to ignore Mayday's newfound mainstream popularity in favor of yet more PeterMJ break-up drama that literally nobody wants https://t.co/7GCvf6Zu59

While fans were appreciating her addition to the movie, some fans were a tad bit disappointed because Marvel altered from the original version of the character where Mayday Parker had heterochromia eyes.
Her final design is amazing but I wish they kept the heterochromia eyes

Phil Lord and Chris Miller Are Excited for Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse
Recently, Phil Lord and Chris Miller, the franchise producers gave an interview to The Wrap, the duo were excited for the sequel as the stakes are even higher for Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse. Miller said how the film will break “the pipelines all over again,” as they will try to topple the first film.
Adding to Miller’s excitement Lord added the sequel would be “definitely more insane. We finally made some people nervous. I feel like we’ve done our job.” Chris Miller explained that movies like these can be a challenge because they have to come up with a gripping plot, that would tell the journey of a character, and the viewers must be able to relate to it, or else everything will come crashing down.
“You want the movie to deliver an engaging story and an emotional journey. You also want it to be all the things that people are hoping for but then also you need it to be something that people didn’t even know that they wanted.”
Miller added that the film would keep the audience at the edge of their seats, and it would keep them excited throughout the movie as the film would feature the Spider-Verse full of Spider-People, while show Miles Morales trying to navigate his way through young adulthood and striving to be a better superhero.
“Because the whole idea of these movies is we’re showing you something you’ve never seen before. And if we just did a fun mild story that felt like the first movie, I think it would be a bit disappointing. You want to feel like you’re seeing visuals that you’ve never experienced before.”
“To do all of those things and do them in a way that’s engaging and satisfying is a big challenge but it’s also part of the reason why we do these things. That’s the goal, just to make you laugh and cry and experience something that you’ve never experienced before.”
The excitement for Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse has increased and as the film is approaching closer to its release date, Sony is giving a sneak peek to their fans, however, the film would be a breakthrough because the film be feature six different animation styles, along with a great story and a stellar cast.
Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse will release in theatres on 2nd June 2023.
