When at the end of the first film in Spider-Man: A New Universe, the director left Miguel O'hara an easter-egg following the credits, all fans of the arachnid were jumping for joy at seeing one of the most loved Spider-Man on screen. Then, it was confirmed that Spider-Man 2099 was going to be the antagonist in the sequel to the Miles Morales movies and the expectations grew.
One of the main reasons that took the first installment to a new level was its high quality animation of the world and the various designs that every Spider-Man was carrying. The sequel has a great problem to tackle and the filmmakers have set out to improve upon what was previously achieved by taking the viewer to different worlds. Miles Morales (voiced by Shameik Moore) will traverse six different universes. Each one will be distinct depending on the culture they want to convey. He learns about the characteristics of each universe and what they will look like.
