Sony Pictures on Sunday released the first look teaser and title of the upcoming animated superhero film “Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse”.
The upcoming movie is the sequel to 2018's Oscar-winning animated superhero film “Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse” and continues the story of the Miles Morales (Shameik Moore) version of Spider-Man.
