Entertainment Weekly reported that the producers and directors of “Beyond the Spider-Verse” said at CinemaCon that the film will pick up where the previous film ended.
In the first film, Miles Morales, the Spider-Man of Earth-1610, saved the day by destroying a super-collider but accidentally made two new threats, holes in the multiverse and Spot, a portal-creating villain.
Miles attempts to join a society of Spider heroes on a mission to fix holes in the universe and defeat Spot.
The group’s leader, Miguel O’Hara, doesn’t want Miles’ help, believing he is the original anomaly causing the multiverse to malfunction because Miles got his powers from a radioactive spider from another universe, Earth-42.
Miles learns Spot plans to kill his father, Jefferson Morales. But the Spider Society, including many of Miles’ friends, tries to stop him from saving his father. The Spider Society thinks Jefferson’s death is a “canon event,” a predestined moment that occurs in every universe to keep the multiverse intact.
Miles escapes using the Spider-Society’s portals but is accidentally sent to Earth-42, a world where Spider-Man doesn’t exist, criminals are in charge of New York, and Miles’ father dies instead of his Uncle Aaron, who died in the first film.
Earth-42’s Miles and Uncle Aaron are villains who capture the original Miles and torture him. The film ends with Miles’ allies from the first two films leaving the Spider-Society to save him.
This ending sets up three showdowns for the next film.
Original Miles vs. Earth-42 Miles. The first look photos of “Beyond The Spider-Verse” released on Monday give a glimpse of this fight.
If Miles manages to escape Earth-42, he and his allies will likely face off against the Spider-Soceity. Finally, whoever is still standing will likely have to unite to stop Spot and save Jefferson and the multiverse.
