Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse released its trailer this week. And in it, we got to see all kinds of Spider-People from around the Spider-Verse. There were so many in fact, it’s probably impossible to identify them all. But there are a few Spider-Men and Spider-Women that we know about for sure, as well as some other, more obscure Spider-Men that are going to make an appearance. Across the Spider-Verse has had directors leak appearances and hint at cameos since people first started getting excited about the film.

In this sequel, there will be hundreds of Spider-People. The trailer showed a bunch of them in all of their gloriously different animation styles. Though most of them won’t have speaking parts, a lot of them will be featured with at least a small cameo. The directors are even putting in some fun Spider-Memes.

MOVIEWEB VIDEO OF THE DAY

While the stars of the show are Miles Morales (Shameik Moore) and Gwen Stacy (Hailee Steinfeld), fans will also get to see a few other, nontraditional Spider-People. There will be some deep cuts from film culture as well as a few Spider-Men from alternate universes we haven’t got to see before on the big screen. Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse is going to be a smorgasbord of Spider-People.

Oscar Isaac Is Spider-Man 2099

     Sony Pictures

Everyone is excited to see Oscar Isaac play Spider-Man 2099. He had a small Easter egg in the previous movie, Into the Spider-Verse, but he didn’t get much screen time. Now we’ll see him in his full glory in Across the Spider-Verse. There is a lot of excitement revolving around him because 2099 is a different kind of Spider-Man.

Instead of getting bit by a radioactive spider, Miguel O’Hara was a prominent geneticist who became caught up in an unethical genetics experiment. When he tried to protest his way out of the job, he became subject to one of these tests which turned him into Spider-Man.

Instead of using clever technology to shoot webbing, he grows it out of his wrists. He also has long talons that are part of his body, which he uses to climb and smash things. In the comics, he has poisonous fangs which secrete a paralyzing venom, and also give him a bit of a speech impediment. We’ll see if those pop up in Across the Spider-Verse. Though in the comics, Spider-Man 2099 is genuinely a hero, the trailer for Across the Spider-Verse seems to make him out as a bit of a villain.

Jessica Drew’s Spider-Woman Makes History

Jessica Drew aka Spider-Woman (Issa Rae), is the other Spider-Person making a big buzz after the trailer dropped, not only because we’ve never seen her before but because she’ll also be pregnant in the film. It’s the first time we’ve ever seen a pregnant superhero in a Marvel movie. Fans think that the humble Peter B. Parker might be the father since he was seen in the trailer wearing a fuzzy pink robe and a little baby carrier on his front.

Spider-Woman gained her powers at a very young age, and instead of being bitten by a radioactive spider, she was injected with spider genes in order to prevent long-term radiation poisoning. This altered her body in strange ways.

She has similar physiology to a spider, and produces her own webbing out of her fingers. She’s also immune to several toxic substances and in the comics, her suit allows her to glide through the air. But her favorite mode of transportation, as you saw in the trailer, is a big ole motorcycle.

Spider-Punk Will Make An Appearance

     Marvel

Another Spider-Man that didn’t appear in the trailer, but we know will be in the movie is Spider-Punk. A different version of Hobie Brown who is most often known as Prowler, Spider-Punk comes from an alternate universe where Norman Osborn is president and controls an oppressive regime threatening to stamp out all sense of freedom.

Spider-Punk leads a group of lower-class individuals using his free spirit and his awesome guitar. When he got his spider powers, he became the anarchist spider-rebel that led those people to victory against Osborn, finally using his guitar to bash the president over the head and declaring his fellow anarchists free.

Bombastic Bag-Man Is Suiting Up

         Sony Pictures Releasing

In the trailer, you can see one of the Spider-Men is just wearing a paper bag over his head. He attempts to catch up to Miles Morales as he swings through the Spider-Verse but can’t quite make it. Instead, Miles kicks him off back into the crowd of Spider-People.

The Bombastic Bag-Man, as he’s known, is a version of Spider-Man that had been covered in a symbiote and was forced to give his costume to the Fantastic Four. When Johnny Storm gave him his costume as a substitute, Spider-Man didn’t have a mask and was forced to wear a paper bag over his head to conceal his identity. It’s likely the trailer version wasn’t seen in a Fantastic Four suit for legal reasons, but everyone knows who the Bag-Man is.

Japanese Spider-Man Will Join The Rest

     Toei Company, Marvel

Takuya Yamashiro was a humble motocross driver when he started receiving psychic messages from an alien who crash-landed on Earth. When his father was killed attempting to find the alien, Takuya was given a bracelet from the planet Spider which bestowed upon him all the powers of Spider-Man. Now he travels the Earth hunting for the evil aliens that killed his father.

This is a bit of a meme people have seen from a 1978 live-action Japanese Spider-Man film. In it, Spider-Man calls himself an “Emissary of Hell” when confronting his enemies. And the story to go along with him is equally awesome. Writer Phil Lord confirmed Japanese Spider-Man would make an appearance in Across the Spider-Verse.
