Released via Twitter, the poster has Miles looking at things from a different perspective to the rest of the Spider-Community. Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse will follow Miles as he finds himself not only doing battle with supervillain The Spot, but also the Spider-Forces, a group of Spider-people from alternate worlds as they both strive to do what they think is best for multiverse. You can check out the first poster for Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse below.
Alongside Miles, who stands front-and-center, the poster gives us our first look at the huge variety of variants that will be introduced in Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse.

But things get a whole lot more exciting when we begin to examine who else is in the line-up with the poster providing our first proper look at the likes of Issa Rae as the pregnant Jessica Drew aka Spider-Woman; and Daniel Kaluuya’s character Hobart “Hobie” Brown aka Spider-Punk, a British punk rock version of Spider-Man, as well as Ben Reilly aka Scarlet Spider, Cyborg Spider-Woman, and Pavitr Prabhakar aka Spider-Man India, and so, so many more.
Not only does the poster reveal our best look yet at the vast array of Spider-People, it also teases the different styles of animation that each one will be brought to life using as Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse promises to be even more ambitious than its Oscar-winning predecessor.
Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse Will be Dominated by Six Different Animation Styles

Writer and producer Phil Lord has revealed just how far this ambition will stretch in Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse, comparing the six different animation styles in the sequel with just the one in Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse.
“The first film had one animation style that dominates the movie. This movie has six,” Lord revealed recently. “So we’re taking those tools, adding all the things we learned on The Mitchells Vs The Machines, and then growing them further to accommodate the ambition of this movie. Which is to wow you every time you enter a new environment, and also to make sure that the style of the movie reflect the story, and that the images are driven by feelings, as opposed to some egg-headed art project. Which it also is, by the way!”
Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse begins when Miles Morales reunites with Gwen Stacy. Brooklyn’s full-time, friendly neighborhood Spider-Man is soon catapulted across the Multiverse, where he encounters a team of Spider-People charged with protecting its very existence. But when the heroes clash on how to handle a new threat, Miles finds himself pitted against the other Spiders and must redefine what it means to be a hero so he can save the people he loves most.
Directed by Joaquim Dos Santos, Kemp Powers, and Justin K. Thompson from a screenplay by Phil Lord, Christopher Miller, and David Callaham, and led once again by Shameik Moore as Miles Morales aka Spider-Man, Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse is scheduled to be released on June 2, 2023.
