Sony Pictures Entertainment continues the home entertainment rollout of the next chapter of the Spider-Verse saga with Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse, coming on 4K UHD & Blu-ray September 5. To celebrate, Sony has shared with AWN a peek behind the curtain in Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse - Creating the Ultimate Spider-Man Movie, which you can watch below.
In the movie, after reuniting with Gwen Stacy, Brooklyn’s full-time, friendly neighborhood Spider-Man is catapulted across the Multiverse, where he encounters the Spider Society, a team of Spider-People charged with protecting the Multiverse’s very existence. But when the heroes clash on how to handle a new threat, Miles finds himself pitted against the other Spiders and must set out on his own to save those he loves most.
