Sony Pictures’ upcoming animated movie Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse has dropped a new trailer, which not only showcases multiple Spider-Man variants but also takes a shot at the MCU and Tom Holland’s Spider-Man.
Retconning The MCU Earth Name
In the new trailer, Spider-Man 2099 (voiced by Oscar Isaac) mistakenly calls the MCU’s Earth “Earth-199999,” retconning the official name given by Marvel Studios in Spider-Man: Far From Home and Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness. It’s an interesting development that walks back the MCU’s designation for their Earth, Earth-616.
Tom Holland’s Spider-Man Rumored Appearance
The trailer’s reference to Doctor Strange has led fans to speculate that Tom Holland’s Spider-Man might appear in the movie. The new trailer includes voiceovers from Holland, Andrew Garfield, and Tobey Maguire’s Spider-Man movies, further fueling rumors of their potential cameos. Producer Amy Pascal has also hinted at Holland’s appearance, saying, “anything is possible in the multiverse.”
Possible Overshadowing Of Miles Morales
While a cameo from Tom Holland’s Spider-Man would be exciting for fans, it could overshadow Miles Morales, who deserves his own chance to shine. The animated movie provides a perfect opportunity to tease the possibility of Miles Morales coming to the live-action MCU, a question that has been lingering since Into The Spider-Verse debuted.
Sony Pictures’ Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse has released an exciting new trailer, showcasing multiple Spider-Man variants and adding fuel to rumors of Tom Holland’s Spider-Man cameo. The trailer’s retcon of the MCU Earth name and potential appearance of live-action Spider-Men raises intriguing possibilities for the franchise’s future. However, it’s important to remember that Miles Morales deserves his own chance to shine and not be overshadowed by more established characters.
