Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse is a big escalation from the first movie. Last time out, we mostly hung out in Miles Morales’ home dimension–but now, Miles is going all the way down the multidimensional rabbit hole, and he’s going to find some things he really doesn’t like down there.
Warning: This article contains major spoilers for Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse, including the full details of how it ends.
Across the Spider-Verse makes its intentions known right from the start, with a lengthy opening sequence that takes place in Gwen’s universe, Earth-65. We get Gwen’s backstory, with the tragic tale of her universe’s Peter Parker, and how his death eventually led her to the cross-dimensional Spider-Society.
