Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse

Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse is a 2018 American animated superhero film featuring the Marvel Comics character Miles Morales / Spider-Man, produced by Columbia Pictures and Sony Pictures Animation in association with Marvel Entertainment, and distributed by Sony Pictures Releasing. It is the first animated film in the Spider-Man franchise and the first film in the Spider-Verse franchise, which is set in a shared multiverse of alternate universes called the "Spider-Verse". Directed by Bob Persichetti, Peter Ramsey, and Rodney Rothman from a screenplay by Phil Lord and Rothman, it stars Shameik Moore as Morales, alongside the voices of Jake Johnson, Hailee Steinfeld, Mahershala Ali, Brian Tyree Henry, Lily Tomlin, Luna Lauren Vélez, John Mulaney, Kimiko Glenn, Nicolas Cage, and Liev Schreiber. The film's story follows Miles as he becomes the new Spider-Man and joins other Spider-People from various parallel universes who team up to save New York City from the Kingpin. Plans for an animated Spider-Man film by Phil Lord and Christopher Miller were leaked in 2014 and announced in April 2015. Persichetti, Ramsey and Rothman joined over the next two years, with Moore and Schreiber cast in April 2017. Lord and Miller wanted the film to have a unique style, combining computer animation with time-honored hand-drawn comic techniques inspired by the work of Miles Morales co-creator Sara Pichelli. The film required the largest crew of animators used by Sony Pictures Animation on a feature film. The film premiered at the Regency Village Theater in Los Angeles on December 1, 2018, and was theatrically released in the United States on December 14. The film grossed $384.3 million worldwide against a $90 million budget and received critical acclaim. The film won Best Animated Feature at the 91st Academy Awards—being the first non-Disney/Pixar film to win the award since Rango (2011). Filmmakers and animation peers have praised its aesthetics and acknowledged its influence on subsequent animated productions. It has since been regarded as one of the best animated films of the 21st century. A sequel, Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse, was released in 2023 to similar critical and greater commercial success. A third film, Spider-Man: Beyond the Spider-Verse, and a spin-off film focused on female Spider-related characters are in development.

And that is known as a syllogism. Read two chapters of Great Expectations. A take-home quiz on volumetric pressure. Five-page essay with your conclusions stressed.

...countless other possibilities. There could be a universe where I am wearing red. Or wearing leather pants. Mr. Morales. Movin' in the dark. You're late again. Einstein said time was relative, right? Maybe I'm not late. Maybe you guys are early. Sorry. It was just so quiet.

But it was smart, so I liked it. I don't think I've seen you before. Every choice that we make... ...would create countless other possibilities. A what-if to infinity.

A few more of those, you'd probably have to kick me outta here, huh? Maybe I'm just not right for this school. If a person wearing a blindfold picked the answers... ...on a true-or-false quiz at random... ...do you know what score they would get? - 50%? - That's right! The only way to get all the answers wrong is to know which answers are right. You're trying to quit. And I'm not gonna let you. I'm assigning you a personal essay. Not about physics, but about you...
