Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse director Kemp Powers has confirmed that the film's main villain, the Spot, will continue to be the primary antagonist in Spider-Man: Beyond the Spider-Verse. Voiced by Jason Schwartzman, the Spot was revealed as Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse's villain in June of this year.
SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY As reported by Total Film , Powers reveals that the Spot will be the main villain of both Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse and its sequel, Spider-Man: Beyond the Spider-Verse. The director also indicates a connection between the new villain and returning protagonist Miles Morales, although he doesn't elaborate on how the pair will cross paths in the films.
The Spot is an interesting villain because he seems like a joke, but when you really look at his powers, there’s incredible potential. His ability to open portals across dimensions sets him up perfectly for the Spider-Verse. He’s the villain of the next two films… and let’s just say that the Spot and Miles are connected in surprising ways.
Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse will see Miles Morales reunite with Gwen Stacy's Spider-Woman to face the Spot's threat to the multiverse. Along the way, the duo will team up with new Spider-Men from different dimensions, including Spider-Man 2099 , and Spider-Punk, as portrayed by Get Out and Black Panther star Daniel Kaluuya. Jake Johnson will also be returning as Peter B. Parker, an older version of Spider-Man that helped train Miles in Into the Spider-Verse.
While it's unclear what the Spot's primary goal in Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse and Beyond the Spider-Verse will be, his ability to travel across dimensions makes it clear that he may also be how the multidimensional characters are able to come together in the films. Spider-Man 2099's appearance in Into the Spider-Verse's post-credits scene also indicates his particular importance in both films.
Will it have Spider-man in it?
