Every Spider-Man Spin-Off Swinging Our Way After Across The Spider-Verse

When it bowed in 2018, "Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse" was a revelation, not only to Spider-Man fans but also to lovers of animation. Boldly experimenting with what is possible in the realm of big-budget animation while also unabashedly exploring the weirder corners of the wall-crawler's mythos, it was quickly claimed by many to be the best "Spider-Man" movie of all time. Winning an Oscar was only the cherry on top. Sony followed up on that success with "Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse," which is even more audacious in every way possible and quickly grabbed the best opening day and second biggest opening weekend of the year thus far. But even as the creatives behind those movies work to release the final film in the trilogy, they're far from done exploring the Spider-Verse.

As fans pick their jaws up off the floor in the wake of the shocking ending of "Across the Spider-Verse," Sony is already spinning a web of spin-offs before the trilogy capper "Spider-Man: Beyond the Spider-Verse" venom-punches into theaters in March 2024. While release dates have yet to be announced for the upcoming spin-offs, fans can look forward to streaming series featuring the likes of Spider-Man Noir and Silk, as well as movies featuring Spider-Woman and Miles Morales' Spider-Man.

Heavily popularized after the character's appearance and voiced by Nicolas Cage in "Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse," Spider-Man Noir first debuted in his own comics series in 2009. Now, he's getting a live-action streaming series from Amazon, as reported by Variety.

The world of Spider-Man Noir should prove to be fruitful ground for such a series, which is set in a 1930s version of New York City where various criminals, including Norman Osborn, have carved out dominion over the five boroughs. The comics focused heavily on labor rights and social issues, with Peter Parker raised during the Great Depression and finding his uncle Ben murdered by businessmen in retaliation for organizing a factory strike. It is undoubtedly one of the darkest Spider-Man settings.

The live-action series will reportedly not feature Peter Parker as the main character but will follow a hard-boiled, older superhero, presumably with spider powers, though that's unconfirmed. It will be produced by "Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse" producers Phil Lord and Christopher Miller in a joint collaboration between Sony, Marvel, Amazon Prime Video, and MGM+. Oren Uziel is attached to write and executively produce.

In "Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse," fans got to see the Spider Society, a whole city of Spider-People from across the multiverse. Now, with the upcoming "Silk: Spider Society" on MGM+ and Amazon Prime, that world will be explored in even more depth.

As reported by Deadline, the live-action series will follow the Korean American Spider-Woman Cindy Moon, aka Silk, who must find her lost family after escaping from prison and being bitten by the same spider that triggered Peter Parker's transformation into the web-slinger.

"Silk: Spider Society" found its showrunner and executive producer in Angela Kang, best known as a top producer for "The Walking Dead." Executive producers Phil Lord and Christopher Miller, who also oversee the "Spider-Verse" films, said, "Angela is a pro's pro whose perspective and creativity we greatly respect and admire. She's also a hell of a lot of fun. She loves these characters, and we feel really lucky for the chance to work with her to bring Cindy Moon's story to the world."

MCU fans have actually already seen Cindy Moon onscreen. She appeared as a minor character in "Spider-Man: Homecoming," "Avengers: Infinity War," and "Spider-Man: No Way Home," portrayed therein by Tiffany Espensen. It is not yet known whether Espensen will continue in the role on "Silk: Spider Society."

Spider-Gwen, also known as Spider-Woman, was a massive breakout character after her appearance in "Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse." In the sequel, "Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse," she got even more screen time, with the story split more or less equally between Gwen and Miles Morales. Now, she'll be the star of her own movie, with a "Spider-Woman" animated feature in the works, as reported by Variety.

Former CEO of Marvel Entertainment and "Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse" producer Avi Arad told the publication the movie will be in theaters sooner than some might expect. Regarding details of the project, he was far coyer, saying, "I cannot tell you yet, but it's coming."

The big question hovering over the "Spider-Woman" film is whether the titular role will continue to be filled by Hailee Steinfeld. For her part, Steinfeld has signaled a continued interest in the part, telling Variety, "This is like my dream job, sign me up over and over again." Steinfeld also stars elsewhere in the Marvel-verse, playing Kate Bishop in the Disney+ MCU series "Hawkeye."

It's been a long time coming, but fans can finally expect to see a live-action Miles Morales. Since the character launched in 2011, Miles has arguably become the most well-known Spider-Man variant since the original Peter Parker. The "Spider-Verse" movies, where he is voiced by Shameik Moore, cemented that status, as did the video game "Spider-Man: Miles Morales," which launched alongside Sony's Playstation 5 in 2020.

As reported by Variety, Sony is hard at work on a live-action film adaptation for Brooklyn's one and only Spider-Man. In reference to that upcoming project, "Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse" producer Amy Pascal told the publication, "You'll see all of it. It's all happening."

There's no word yet on who will star as the web-slinger, and indeed, no details other than the fact of its planning have yet been unveiled. But given the appearance of Donald Glover as a variant of Aaron Davis in "Across the Spider-Verse," there's a chance the Miles Morales movie may be set in a world adjacent to the MCU "Spider-Man" movies, since Glover appeared in the first of those, "Spider-Man: Homecoming" as the same character. But in "Across the Spider-Verse," he appeared as a version of The Prowler, whereas it's unclear if the Aaron Davis of the MCU also moonlights as the cat-themed villain.
