ACROSS THE SPIDER-VERSE Characters: Who Will We See in the New Spider-Man Movie?

Gwen Stacy is a significant character in many Spider-Man universes, but Spider-Gwen is a superhero version of Gwen Stacy who was bitten by a radioactive spider instead of Peter Parker. Thus, she turned into Spider-Woman (or Spider-Gwen). Spider-Gwen first appeared in 2015. She was a major role in the first Spider-Verse movie, and she’s returning for this one. Gwen is voiced by Hailee Steinfeld.

You might remember Miguel O’Hara from Into the Spider-Verse, but he’s back with a bigger role in the sequel. Miguel, better known as Spider-Man 2099, first appeared in comics in the early ’90s for the Marvel 2099 comic book line. This Spider-Man is an Irish-Mexican geneticist living in Nueva York in (you guessed it) 2099. Unlike other versions of Spider-Man, Miguel O’Hara is not the type of guy to crack jokes. Miguel is voiced by Oscar Isaac in the movie.

Peter B. Parker, also known as the Amazing Spider-Man, was a mentor to Miles Morales in Into the Spider-Verse, and he’s back for the sequel. This version of Peter Parker is 38 years old and has reconciled with Mary Jane Watson after the events of Into the Spider-Verse. He now has a daughter with Mary Jane named Mayday. The Amazing Spider-Man is voiced by Jake Johnson.

Issa Rae joins the cast of Across the Spider-Verse as Jessica Drew AKA Spider-Woman. Created by Archie Goodwin and Maurie Severin, this Marvel superhero first appeared in Marvel Spotlight #32. This Spider-Woman is unique for a lot of reasons. But one of her coolest powers? She can fly!

Here’s one of the characters I’m most excited to see in Across the Spider-Verse: Hobart “Hobie” Brown AKA Spider-Punk, who is voiced by Daniel Kaluuya. Spider-Punk is a British punk rock Spider-hero who first appeared in The Amazing Spider-Man #10, created by writer Dan Slott and artist Olivier Coipel. This punk rock superhero lives in a dystopian version of Earth that has been destroyed by a totalitarian regime, run by Ozzy Ozborn of Ozcorp.

Pavitr is a young Indian boy who was granted the power of the spider by an ancient yogi. Pavitr Prabhakar first appeared in 2004 in Spider-Man: India #1. This character, voiced by Karan Soni, will be a part of Miguel O’Hara’s Spider-Forces.

The Spot is a significant villain you’ll see in this sequel film. Jonathan Ohnn, also known as The Spot, has holes all over his body that serve as portals to travel to alternate universes. The Spot has been a villain to both Spider-Man and Daredevil. In the movie Across the Spider-Verse, he is voiced by Jason Schwartzman.

Another villain you’ll see in Across the Spider-Verse? The Vulture. This character is a well-known enemy of Spider-Man, and he has appeared in previous Spider-Man films, such as Spider-Man: Homecoming and Morbius. In this movie, The Vulture will be voiced Jorma Taccone.

Ben Reilly AKA Scarlet Spider was created as the hero for the Spider-Man arc known as The Clone Saga. Ben is supposedly an exact clone of Peter Parker…or is Peter Parker the real clone? Scarlet Spider is another member of the Spider-Society, and he is voiced by Andy Samberg.

Margo is a young girl who becomes Spider-Byte in the virtual world, which in her version of Earth is just as prominent as the real world. Margo also a student at the Peter Parker Memorial, Science & Technology. She first appears in Vault of Spiders #1.

Takuya Yamashiro AKA the Japanese Spider-Man first appeared as the protagonist of Toei’s Spider-Man television series in 1978. This character will be another member of Miguel’s crew.

This version of Spider-Man’s nemesis Otto Octavius goes on to replace Spider-Man after the superhero’s death. Considering his fraught relationship with Peter Parker, it’s no surprise Otto names himself “The Superior Spider-Man” when he takes up the mantle. This character first appeared in the Superior Spider-Man comic series, which ran from January 2013 to September 2014.

Unlike Ben Reilly, who is a clone of Spider-Man and shares most of his memories and ideas, The Doppelganger is a mindless replica of the superhero. The characters is almost animalistic in nature and mostly uses his superpowers to assist other supervillains. Created by Jim Starlin, Ron Lim, and Al Milgrom, The Doppelganger first appeared in The Infinity War #1 in 1992.

Julia Carpenter is another version of Spider-Woman you can expect to see featured in the upcoming movie. Created by Jim Shooter and Mike Zeck, the character first appeared in 1984’s Secret Wars #6. You’ll also soon see this character portrayed by Sydney Sweeney in the upcoming live-action film Madame Web.

Kaine Parker is a supervillain who first appeared in Web of Spider-Man #119. Prior to the creation of Ben Reilly, Kaine Parker was a failed attempt at cloning Spider-Man. This character was also named Scarlet Spider in November 2011’s Marvel Point One.

May “Mayday” Parker will appear in Across the Spider-Verse as both the infant daughter of Peter B. Parker and Mary Jane Watson and an alternate, more grown-up version, AKA Spider-Girl. The character was created by Tom DeFalco and Ron Frenz and was first introduced as the teenage daughter of Peter and Mary Jane in February 1998’s What If #105. Mayday would later appear in her own comic series Spider-Girl.

Charlotte “Charlie” Webber AKA Sun-Spider is a superhero with Ehlers-Danlos syndrome, meaning she is unable to use her legs. With her super powers, she protects the city and those she cares about most. This character made her debut in the comic series Into the Spider-Verse.

Mary Jane Watson (AKA Spinneret) is the wife of Peter Parker on Earth-18119 and the mother of Annie Parker. In this universe, both Mary Jane and Annie have their own superpowers as Spinneret and Spiderling. Spinneret first appeared in The Amazing Spider-Man: Renew Your Vows Volume 2. Meanwhile, Spiderling first appeared in Volume 4.

Maybelle Reilly is an alternate version of Peter Parker’s Aunt May. This version of May is also a superhero, Lady Spider. What’s her vibe? Think steampunk Aunt May. With powers. This character first appeared in the first volume of Spider-Verse.
