“Our contract with the audience is to bring them something they’ve never seen before,” writer-producer Christopher Miller tells Empire in the world-exclusive new Spider-Man: Across The Spider-Verse issue. And they’re going all-out to make sure they deliver on that promise – creating a follow-up that spans five different universes. “The first film was about bringing characters into Miles’ dimension,” Miller explains. “This is about Miles heading off into others.”
While Into The Spider-Verse gave us brief glimpses of the worlds inhabited by Peter B. Parker, Spider-Man Noir, Peni Parker and more, the sequel will spend real time in a bunch of dizzying dimensions. “Each world is a robust place,” says Joaquim Dos Santos, who directs alongside Kemp Powers and Justin K. Thompson. “We’ve essentially made five films in one.” There’s Gwen’s Earth-65, with its distinctive watercolor palette; the India-inspired Mumbattan (see the exclusive image above, plus Empire’s subscriber cover); Nueva York, the home of Oscar Isaac’s Spider-Man 2099, aka Miguel O’Hara; the punky New London, inhabited by Daniel Kaluuya’s Spider-Punk; plus a secretive fifth dimension that’s being kept tightly under wraps for now. “It goes hard,” promises writer-producer Phil Lord. “The visuals will be jaw-dropping.”
That sense of escalation in the film’s ambition is echoed by Miles Morales himself, Shameik Moore. “I will say that this story tops the first one,” he teases. “If the sky was the limit last time, the sky is now the floor. We’re stepping on it and looking at Jupiter!” Sometimes, shooting for the moon just isn’t enough.
