The sequel to Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse has some pretty big webbings to fill. The first film dazzles audiences with its kinetic, web-slinging action and dynamic visual style, on the way to winning the Oscar for Best Animated Feature. And now with the next film on the way, producer Christopher Miller says in a tweet to expect the bar to be raised.
The development of new groundbreaking art techniques being done for the next Spider-Verse movie are already blowing me away. It’s going to make the first movie look quaint

That’s saying a lot. The first movie combined CGI with a variety of techniques to create comic book splashes pages that sprung to life on the big screen. If they’ve come up with a way to improve on that it’s going to be something to see.
Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse 2 opens on October 7th 2022. It has a script by Shang-Chi writer David Callaham, with Joaquin Dos Santos (Voltron: Legendary Defender) as director. Details on the story are under wraps, but expect to see more of the relationship between Miles Morales (Shameik Moore) and Gwen Stacy (Hailee Steinfeld), the latter on the way to getting her own spinoff.
