The film explored the character of Miles Morales, and his origin story from charismatic, young, New York teenager, to the eventual heir apparent to the Spider-Man mantle.
Arriving in theaters in 2018, the film is still among the best Spider-Man film ever made, with ambition and creativity on par with its unprecedented commitment to exploring just what it means to embrace the mantle of Spider-Man for a new generation.

The most recent Sony panel at CinemaCon, however, has changed this, as the assumed Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse Part II gets a brand new name.
