Seemingly anything goes in these multiverse realms, but, Miguel informs us, there is Canon that needs to be obeyed.
When worlds start colliding, prescribed storylines get upset. Others, like the leader Miguel O’Hara (Oscar Isaac), are more serious and haunted.
Some of them are pretty cool - most notably Daniel Kaluuya’s Spider-Punk, a British rocker who looks like he dropped out of The Clash. (Among those here are a Mumbai-like New York, a Lego land and a nightmarish alternate reality.) The portals start opening thanks to The Spot (Jason Schwartzman), a supervillain-in-training who looks like a splotchy blank page with ink drops on him.īut Spot’s powers grow, bringing the attention of the Spider-Society, a gaggle of Spider-People who guard over order in the multiverse. There are actually gobs of them, each from some parallel world. This being a “Spider-Verse” movie, though, there more than just a few Spider-Men lurking about. “I’m Spider-Woman,” Gwen says when a pregnant superhero (Issa Rae) peels in on a motorbike. But the movie again and again reinforced that, yes, they’re supremely talented, but, no, they’re far from alone. Miles and Gwen, rightly, feel exceptional - that their problems are unique to being enormously gifted kids. In its chaotic and jumbled way, “Across the Spider-Verse” keeps playing with these notions.
