There won’t be a better animated film this year as Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse soars into theaters. Hailee Steinfeld voices Gwen Stacy who is mourning the loss of her friend, Peter Parker. She is torn on revealing her identity as Spider Gwen to her father, the captain of police as he blames her for Peter’s death. In another multiverse, her friend Miles Morales (the fantastic Shameik Moore) is another Spider-Man and is battling a villain known as The Spot while trying to make it through high school. He’s missing classes, showing up late for appointments with his guidance counselor, and is letting his parents down along the way. Gwen visits him in his world and further complicates the situation as he doesn’t know she’s on a mission thanks to the Spider Society full of Spider People and animals. If that wasn’t complicated enough, Miles learns he’s broken a canon event, which is a connector that binds everyone together. There will be consequences forever altering the Spider-Verse if he can’t course correct with the help of some new Spider friends he meets along the way. In theaters
