Spider-Verse Fans! Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse Swings Onto Netflix UK

Spider-Man fans in the UK and Ireland, the wait is over! Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse, the highly anticipated sequel to the 2018 hit Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse, is now available to stream on Netflix. Following its earlier release on Netflix US, the film has finally made its way across the pond, giving fans the chance to dive back into the multiverse.

A Multiversal Adventure Awaits

Across the Spider-Verse picks up where its predecessor left off, following Miles Morales as he navigates the complexities of being Brooklyn’s friendly neighborhood Spider-Man. After reuniting with Gwen Stacy, Miles is catapulted across the multiverse, where he encounters a team of Spider-People tasked with protecting its existence.

However, when the heroes clash over how to handle a new threat, Miles finds himself at odds with the other Spiders. The film’s synopsis teases, “He must soon redefine what it means to be a hero so he can save the people he loves most.”

A Trilogy Worth the Hype

As the second installment in the Spider-Verse trilogy, Across the Spider-Verse has been praised for its stunning animation, heartfelt storytelling, and bold exploration of the multiverse. Producers Phil Lord and Chris Miller revealed that the sequel was originally conceived as one film but grew into two parts due to the epic nature of Miles’ journey.

“Miles’ story is an epic,” they told Entertainment Weekly. “We wrote what we thought the story needed to be, and to our surprise, we realised it was two movies instead of one. We’re working on them both as we speak.”

What’s Next for the Spider-Verse?

Fans of the franchise have even more to look forward to, as the final chapter, Spider-Man: Beyond the Spider-Verse, is currently in the works. Directors Bob Persichetti and Justin K. Thompson, who have been instrumental in shaping the trilogy, recently shared their excitement about concluding Miles’ story.

“We have had the immense privilege of being part of Miles’ journey from the very beginning, and directing the conclusion to his story is beyond exciting,” they said in a statement. “The creativity and care poured into every minute of this project has been truly inspiring. We have crafted what we feel is a very satisfying ending, and we can’t wait for fans to experience it – we’re bringing everything we’ve got!”
