SPIDER-MAN: ACROSS THE SPIDER-VERSE Director Says Top Secret Actor Has Been Cast As Sequel's Scarlet Spider

Scarlet Spider has factored heavily into Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse's merchandise, but it turns out there's a good reason why we haven't been told who is playing Peter Parker's clone in the sequel.

Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse boasted an amazing cast, but the sequel - Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse - will be even bigger. 

Oscar Isaac, Issa Rae, Daniel Kaluuya, and Jason Schwartzman are among those who have joined the Oscar-winning animated franchise, but there's one casting addition Sony Pictures is keeping under wraps. That is the Scarlet Spider, a character the comic book fans among you will know is Peter Parker's clone, Ben Reilly. 

Talking to Total Film (via Toonado.com), director Joaquim Dos Santos said, "I can't wait for people to hear who voices him. It still hasn't been released, but I love our Scarlet Spider actor."

"Not even the actors know! Everyone is sworn to secrecy, and they record alone, so most of them are discovering with the public who is in the film they've been making," he continued. "Their reactions have been pretty hilarious."

It's not outside the realm of possibility that Scarlet Spider will be used as an opportunity to give Tom Holland, Tobey Maguire or Andrew Garfield a voice cameo. However, it sounds like Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse will feature an even bigger cameo than whoever plays the clone...

Miles Morales returns for the next chapter of the Oscar-winning Spider-Verse saga, Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse. After reuniting with Gwen Stacy, Brooklyn's full-time, friendly neighbourhood Spider-Man is catapulted across the Multiverse, where he encounters a team of Spider-People charged with protecting its very existence.

But when the heroes clash on how to handle a new threat, Miles finds himself pitted against the other Spiders and must redefine what it means to be a hero so he can save the people he loves most.

Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse is set to be released in theaters on June 2, 2023.

@dracula - I thought that was supposed to be Jake Gyllenhaal that was supposed to replace Toby because he hurt his back filming Seabiscuit.

It really should be either Chris Pine or Jake Johnson. If it is some other previous Spider-Man actor, everyone would be asking "why not just have them play their Spider-Man?"
