Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse is only part 1 of a 2 part story

The next chapter in Miles Morales’ multiversal story is here with Spider-Man Across the Spider-Verse, and it’s great. But now that we’ve seen it, we have one thing we think everybody should remember going into it: The working title for this movie was Spider-Man: Across the Spider-verse — Part 1. And there’s another movie on the way.

Like how Avengers: EndgameOriginally called Avengers: Infinity War — Part 2, Spider-Man Beyond the Spider-Verse The original title was Spider-man: Across the Spider-verse — Part 2. Without saying anything about the specifics of how Spider-verse Across does (or doesn’t) end, we just think you’ll have a better time watching the movie if you know there’s another one right around the bend. If you’re expecting everything to get wrapped up by the time the credits roll, you might be in for a shock.

The good news is, even through the story doesn’t get wrapped the rest of the movie is a pretty good time. From Polygon’s review:

Themes, plots, and scenes are not all the same. Across the Spider-VerseThe other half of the story is still a good year away. But in the end, the theme of the Spider-Verse movies is shaping up to be a story about people trying to be bigger and bolder themselves, trying to reach beyond what they’re told they’re capable of, and do more. It’s no wonder that every part of Across the Spider-Verse The second movie is a bid to top the previous one. The idea of growing, of surpassing and ignoring everyone else’s limits, is the heart of this series’ heroes and their individual journeys. Looks like the films themselves follow this trend.

The third film is on its way, despite the new name. Bad news: the film will not be out for almost a whole year, but on March 29, 2020.
