The voice cast of "Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse" has been announced, featuring both returning actors and exciting new additions. This highly anticipated sequel will dive back into the world of wall-crawling, focusing on the epic journey of Miles Morales as he navigates his role as Spider-Man.
Described as a "love story" across multiple universes, the film promises a colorful cast of characters, old and new. Here is the complete list of actors confirmed to appear in the upcoming movie.
Shameik Moore will once again headline the film as Miles Morales. In this sequel, the character must confront the challenges of being a superhero, while also dealing with typical teenage issues like first love, nosy parents, and fitting in. As he embarks on a new adventure, Miles is set to receive some upgrades along the way.
Hailee Steinfeld, fresh off her live-action superhero debut in Disney+'s "Hawkeye," will be reprising her role as Gwen Stacey/Spider-Gwen in "Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse." This time around, Steinfeld's character will find herself in a love triangle with Miles and the newly-introduced Hobart "Hobie" Brown/Spider-Punk.
While fans were introduced to Gwen's world in the first "Spider-Verse" film, the sequel will delve deeper into the character. Her father, George Stacey, is set to have a significant role in the upcoming movie, and fans will also get a chance to explore her version of New York across the multiverse.
Oscar Isaac's Miguel O'Hara/Spider-Man 2099, who previously appeared in a post-credits scene in "Into the Spider-Verse," will have a significant role in the upcoming sequel. According to Isaac, this version of Spider-Man is serious and lacks a sense of humor, a characteristic that has been teased in the film's trailers.
As the leader of a group of Multiversal Spider-Man variants known as the Spider-People, Spider-Man 2099 may appear to be an antagonist towards Miles in "Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse." He is considered the "best Spider-Man in the Multiverse" and serves as a gatekeeper to the Spidey team, a position Miles is eager to join.
Jake Johnson is set to return to the world of "Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse" as Peter B. Parker. In the first film, Johnson's character served as a mentor to Miles Morales, as he navigated the challenges of being a young hero in the Multiverse.
Despite the vast number of characters set to appear in the sequel, Peter B. Parker will still have a significant role to play. The character was recently revealed to be a father in the upcoming movie, with a web-slinging baby named Mayday Parker by his side.
Daniel Kaluuya, known for his role in "Black Panther," will be playing the role of Hobart "Hobie" Brown, also known as Spider-Punk, in "Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse." This version of Spider-Man is a punk-rock take on the character, and Kaluuya has shared that he identifies with the character's Camden roots.
Hobie Brown will be one of the key players in the love triangle featured in the film, with his character developing a fondness for Hailee Steinfeld's Gwen Stacey.
Issa Rae, known for her role in Insecure, will be joining the Marvel universe in Spider-Verse 2 as Jessica Drew, also known as Spider-Woman. In the upcoming film, her character will be pregnant, but that won't stop her from fighting alongside other Spider-People. Spider-Woman's signature style involves using her Spidey abilities while riding a bright red motorcycle, making for an exciting addition to the already impressive roster of heroes.
Jason Schwartzman will be joining the cast of Spider-Verse 2 as Jonathan Ohnn, aka The Spot. This lesser-known villain has the power to create portals that he can use to teleport himself or objects around, which will undoubtedly provide some interesting obstacles for our Spider-People to overcome. Schwartzman's portrayal of The Spot is said to be "quirky and odd," adding another layer of eccentricity to the already diverse cast of characters in the film.
Jason Schwartzman will take on the role of the main antagonist, The Spot, in Across the Spider-Verse. Covered in interdimensional portals, the character's unique design creates a stunning watercolor effect, bringing Dos Santos' artistic vision to life.
Schwartzman's appearance in the Spider-Verse franchise is not limited to just one film. He has been confirmed to reprise his role as The Spot in the upcoming Beyond the Spider-Verse movie set to release next year.
Brian Tyree Henry will be reprising his role as Jefferson Davis, Miles' father and a police officer, in Across the Spider-Verse. Following the loss of his brother in the first film, it will be interesting to see how his character's protective instincts evolve in the upcoming sequel.
Since his appearance in the original 2018 film, Henry has also made his live-action superhero debut as Phastos in Marvel Studios' Eternals.
Luna Lauren Vélez portrays Rio Morales, Miles' mother, who serves as the emotional anchor of Across the Spider-Verse, along with Brian Tyree Henry's Jefferson Davis. As Miles begins to mature, Rio will struggle to come to terms with the fact that her son is no longer a little boy. The relationship between Miles and his parents was an essential aspect of the first film and will continue to be so in the sequel.
Andy Samberg, known for his comedic roles, is set to make his debut in the Marvel universe with his rumored role as Ben Reilly, also known as the Scarlet Spider. In the comics, Ben is a clone of Peter Parker.
Although it is uncertain what his exact role will be in Across the Spider-Verse, it is speculated that he will have a minor role in this film and a more significant part in the upcoming Beyond the Spider-Verse.
Greta Lee will be playing the role of Lyla, the AI assistant of Miguel O'Hara played by Oscar Isaac, in Across the Spider-Verse. Lyla's voice was heard in the post-credit scene of Into the Spider-Verse.
Jorma Taccone, member of comedy group The Lonely Island, will join the Spider-Verse sequel as Adrian Toomes/Vulture, a long-time villain of Spider-Man. Taccone's version of the character will have a new appearance with more bird feathers compared to Michael Keaton's portrayal in live-action.
Shea Whigham will also feature in the film as George Stacy, father of Gwen Stacy played by Hailee Steinfeld. Stacy is expected to serve as an antagonist for Gwen in the movie, with a recent clip showing a confrontation between the two at the Guggenheim Museum.
Rachel Dratch has a small role in Across the Spider-Verse as Miles Morales' high school principal. In one of the recent trailers for the film, Dratch's character tells Luna Lauren Vélez's Rio that "Your son is lying to you. And I think you know it."
In a fun cameo, Michael Rianda plays the Spider-Man patient who is seeing a therapist at the end of the film's second official trailer. Rianda, known for directing and co-writing the animated movie The Mitchells vs the Machines, was brought in for temporary "scratch" voice work that has not been replaced.
Across the Spider-Verse is set to release in theaters worldwide on June 2.
