SPIDER-MAN: ACROSS THE SPIDER-VERSE (2023)

 Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse is a 2023 American computer-animated superhero film featuring the Marvel Comics character Miles Morales / Spider-Man, produced by Columbia Pictures and Sony Pictures Animation in association with Marvel Entertainment, and distributed by Sony Pictures Releasing. The sequel to Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse (2018), it is set in a shared multiverse of alternate universes called the Spider-Verse.

On Earth-65, police captain George Stacy is unaware that his daughter Gwen Stacy is Spider-Woman. Years prior, Gwen accidentally caused the death of her best friend Peter Parker while he was rampaging as the Lizard, and police have been hunting her ever since. One night, Gwen encounters a version of the Vulture from an Italian Renaissance-themed alternate universe. Spider-People Miguel O'Hara and Jess Drew arrive using portal-generating watches and help Gwen neutralize the Vulture. George corners Gwen, who then reveals her identity to him; distraught, he attempts to arrest her. Miguel reluctantly grants Gwen membership into the Spider-Society, allowing her to escape with him and Jess.

In Brooklyn on Earth-1610, sixteen months after the Alchemax collider's destruction,^[a] Miles Morales encounters the Spot, an Alchemax scientist whose body was infused with portals after the collider explosion. The Spot blames Miles for causing his condition and reveals that, while testing the collider, he had transported a spider from another dimension, Earth-42, which bit Miles and turned him into Spider-Man. The Spot then accidentally transports himself into a void, where he travels to other universes containing Alchemax colliders to empower himself further.

Gwen travels to Earth-1610 and reconnects with Miles while secretly tracking the Spot. Miles secretly follows her through a portal to Earth-50101, and they team up with its native Spider-Man Pavitr Prabhakar, and later Hobie Brown, against the Spot, who absorbs the power of that world's collider. The Spot and Miles share a vision of the Spot's future attacks that includes the deaths of Police Inspector Singh (the father of Pavitr's girlfriend) and Miles' father Jeff. As the collider collapses, Miles saves Singh, but Earth-50101 begins falling apart from its disrupted "canon event" before members of the Spider-Society arrive to contain the disruption. Miles, Gwen, and Hobie are sent to the Society's headquarters on Earth-928, where hundreds of Spider-People reside in a massive complex.

Miles and Gwen meet with Miguel and encounter Peter B. Parker and his infant daughter Mayday. Miguel explains that each of the Spider-People's stories entail "canon events", such as the death of a police captain close to Spider-Man; straying from these events threatens reality and may cause that universe to collapse.

Miles realizes that the Spot murdering Jeff, who is set to be promoted to police captain, is a canon event. Miguel imprisons Miles to prevent him from saving Jeff, but Hobie helps Miles break loose before leaving the society. As Miles flees through the complex, Miguel orders the Spider-Society to stop him, resulting in hundreds of Spider-People attempting to capture Miles around the city. Miguel corners Miles and tells him that he is an anomaly; Miles was never supposed to become Spider-Man, Earth-42 has no Spider-Man, and the anomaly caused the death of Earth-1610's Peter Parker.

Miles escapes and flees to what he believes to be his home dimension. Considering Gwen a liability, a Miguel ejects her from the Society and sends her to Earth-65. Once there, Gwen reconciles with George, who has resigned from his job as police captain. He gives her a portal watch that Hobie left for her.

To his shock, Miles realizes that he is on Earth-42, rather than his own dimension. In this world, his deceased uncle Aaron Davis is alive while Jeff is dead, and, because Spider-Man does not exist, the world is riddled with unchecked crime. As the Spider-Society searches for Miles, Gwen travels to Earth-1610 and speaks with Miles' parents, promising to find him and bring him home. Aaron restrains Miles, and it is revealed Earth-42's Miles has become the Prowler.

As the Spot begins his multiversal attack, Gwen assembles a team to find Miles, consisting of Peter B., Mayday, Pavitr, Hobie, Margo Kess, Spider-Man Noir, Peni Parker, and Spider-Ham.
