Big Announcements About Sony's 'Spider-Man: Across The Spider-Verse' Part One, Including Jason Schwartzman As The Big Bad
Miles Morales is going to have his hands full with his next villain in the high-anticipated Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse Part One.
In an announcement made during the Annecy Animation Festival in France, The panel for Spider-Verse introduced the latest big bad to wreak havoc, namely The Spot.
Dressed in a white full bodysuit adorned with black...well, spots, which are portals he can use to move about time and space. An action shot was posted in a Tweet showcasing Spot along with who will be voicing the role: Actor Jason Schwartzman of Rushmore and Scott Pilgrim Vs the World.
In the pic, Miles Morales' Spider-Man (Shameik Moore) is attempting to land a kick on The Spot, only to have his foot go through one of the portals on his chest. Miles' foot exits another portal in the background where Spider-Gwen (Hailee Steinfeld) uses her Spidey Sense to dodge the misplaced attack.

The Tweet was part of a much longer thread, which also talked about other characters being introduced to the franchise - including The Vulture (played by Jorma Taccone), Spider-Man 2099 (Oscar Isaac), Jessica Drew (aka Spider-Woman) (Issa Rae), along with other voice actors Shea Winningham (Perry Mason) and Rachel Dratch from Saturday Night Live.
A teaser trailer was also released back in April which gave us a tiny glimpse into what we can expect from Part One of this two part cinematic event which is now in production.
Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse Part One will be swinging into theaters on June 2, 2023.
