Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse's runtime has been revealed (via Toonado.com), and the upcoming sequel to 2018's Oscar-winning Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse looks set to break records!
At 2 hours and 20 minutes, the movie is the longest animated feature ever released by a Hollywood studio. Considering the fact this follow-up will be packed full of web-slinging superheroes, we're not surprised by this news and the story being told is one which is clearly going to need room to breathe.
It's worth noting that Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse isn't the longest Spider-Man movie. Compared to the rest of this character's big screen adventures, it comes in at third place behind Spider-Man: No Way Home and The Amazing Spider-Man 2.
We're less than a month away from the movie's release and press screenings should begin soon. That means we should get social media reactions and reviews, though with it being the first of a two-part finale to the trilogy, Sony is bound to want to keep all of Across the Spider-Verse's biggest secrets under wraps.
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.
The movie stars Shameik Moore, Hailee Steinfeld, Jake Johnson, Issa Rae, Daniel Kaluuya, Karan Soni, Jason Schwartzman, Brian Tyree Henry, Luna Lauren Velez, Greta Lee, Rachel Dratch, Jorma Taccone, Shea Whigham, and Oscar Isaac.
Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse is set to be released in theaters on June 2, 2023.
