Marvel fans are currently scanning the latest trailer for glimpses of hidden characters and we confirm if Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse is a part of the MCU.
Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse takes place “some years” after Into the Spider-Verse, but Miles is still a teenager in the sequel.
Directed by Joaquim Dos Santos, Kemp Powers, and Justin K. Thompson with a screenplay by Phil Lord, Christopher Miller, and David Callaham, Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse is a direct sequel to 2018’s Into the Spider-Verse and sees the return of Shameik Moore as protagonist Miles Morales in a labyrinth of alternate universes known as the Spider-Verse.
Is Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse Part of the MCU?
No, Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse is not currently part of the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
Since the project is being released under Sony’s umbrella, the narrative takes place in its own universe and is not affected by the events happening in the MCU, and vice versa.
However, Tom Holland’s Spider-Man is rumored to make a cameo in the sequel, which would open the door to the MCU and connect them in some respect.
As we enter into Phase 5 of the MCU, which is part of The Multiverse Saga, this concept will play a major role in the timeline. Sony’s releases, such as Morbius, have already introduced a connection between the Sonyverse and the MCU, and Across the Spider-Verse could follow suit – it wouldn’t be much of a Spider-Verse if it didn’t.
Meet the Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse Cast and Characters,
An overwhelming amount of new characters were witnessed in the recent trailer, including Jessica Drew (a.k.a. Spider-Woman), Spider-Punk, Spider-Man India, Bombastic Bag Man, The Amazing Spider Monkey, Lady Spider, Scarlet Spider, and many more.
