Spider-Man: Across the Multiverse - A New Animated Film
The most recent trailer for the much-awaited sequel Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse has shed light on the storyline in an important manner. Remarkably, the Teaser suggests that Spider-Man might be Depicted as a Villain or one of the Villains in the Upcoming movie.
This begs the questions: who is Spider-Man 2099 and why is he depicted as an antagonist in this situation? Moreover, how does this conflict between the web-slinger impact Miles Morales' continuing character arc? Let us take a deeper dive into the Spider-Verse footage and search for the answers.
Who Is Miguel O’Hara, aka Spider-Man 2099?
Miguel OHara, the Alter-ego of Spider-Man 2099, Inhabits a futuristic version of the Marvel Universe known as the world of 2099. Miguel works as the head of the genetics program at the powerful Alchemax corporation, which seeks to develop a new generation of superhumans bound to the company. Under pressure from his employer, Tyler Stone, Miguel ends up tampering with his own DNA to become a man-spider hybrid, with superhuman strength, speed, and agility, though no Spider-Sense. He does, however, possess certain beneficial capabilities such as night vision and poisonous fangs.
Contrary to Peter Parker, Miguel is usually a lone wolf with an attitude, relying solely on an AI friend, Lyla, for support. Nevertheless, Miguel harbors a sense of justice, acknowledging the harsh treatment the citizens of Nueva York face due to corporate interference. For that reason, he rises up as a hero of the people, battling against the malevolent forces of Alchemax.
The new Spider-Verse trailer Indicates that Spider-Man 2099 is set to be a Pivotal Character. Along with other Spidey's from across the multiverse such as Spider-Woman, Spider-Punk, and Spider-Man India, Miguel is anticipated to be an integral figure in the forthcoming movie.
Miles Morales’ Rivalry With Spider-Man 2099
The new trailer for 'Across the Spider-Verse ' showcases various versions of Spider People from different universes, Including Spider-Woman played by Issa Rae, Spider-Punk played by Daniel Kaluuya, and Spider Man India played by Karan soni. However, one Spider Man variant, Oscar Isaac Spiderman 2099 takes center stage in the trailer.
As his name suggests SpiderMan 2099 is from a futuristic Marvel Universe where the world is dystopian and Cyberpunk similar to the current reality of Miles Morales. Miguel OHara, the head of Alchemax genetics program, rewrites his DNA to become half-man, half-spider after being blackmailed by his boss Tyler Stone.
Miguel shares many of Peter Parker powers, Including Strength, Speed, and agility, But he also possesses additional abilities like the ability to see in the dark and venomous Fangs. Although he doesn't have Spider-Sense, he has an AI friend named Lyla.
Miguel is a Loner and can be a Jerk at times, but he has a hero's Heart. He slowly realizes the oppression of the ordinary people by the corporations in his world and becomes a champion for them against Alchemax's evils.
Miles Morales’ Rivalry With Spider-Man 2099
Based on the new trailer for the upcoming movie 'Across the Spider Verse' it appears that Spider Man 2099, Miguel is the leader of the Spider People coming together to protect the Multiverse. However he doesn't seem to be very fond of Miles Morales and there appears to be a major philosophical divide between the two regarding what Spider man should represent.
Miles, who is struggling to balance his school and family life while maintaining his secret superhero identity, is a more grounded superhero than Miguel. The trailer hints that someone close to Miles, possibly his father, is doomed to die, and Miles will do whatever it takes to save his loved one. Miguel on the Other hand is more concerned with the greater good and protecting the Multiverse.
The clash between these two characters suggests that Miles will have to choose between saving his loved one or protecting the multiverse, and it appears he chooses the former option. Miguel is not happy about this, and there is also a scene where Miles accuses Peter B. of withholding information, which could lead to a falling-out between Miles and the other Spider-People.
Overall, it seems that the upcoming movie will feature a philosophical clash between Miles and Miguel, and the possibility of a Spider-Verse Civil War. Fans have to wait and see how this Conflict Plays out when the movie is Released.
The upcoming movie 'Across the Spider Verse' has raised questions about whether it will feature a traditional Supervillain character. Although Jason Schwartzman's character The Spot is present, he does not seem like a formidable opponent compared to the Kingpin or even Jake Johnson's Peter B. Parker. The Spot's portals may serve as a plot device to move the story forward, and his powers may be causing the crisis that forces Miles to make a difficult choice.
However, given the conflict between Miles and Miguel, the movie may not need a supervillain at all. Spider-Man 2099, a version of Miguel who has lost perspective after spending too much time looking at the multiverse, could serve as the primary antagonist. While Spider-Man is a hero who refuses to sacrifice one life to save many, Miguel may have lost sight of this principle. This conflict between Miles and Miguel, and their differing views on heroism, could be at the heart of their fight in "Across the Spider-Verse."
Will Across the Spider-Verse Have Another Villain?
Is it inevitable that stories featuring heroes battling against each other will eventually end with them putting aside their differences to fight a common enemy? This is a question that arises in regards to Across the Spider-Verse, a movie that may follow this well-known trope.
Although The Spot may not seem like the main Villain of the film we do know that he will play a Part in the conflict. Additionally, Miles and Miguel's rivalry is not well-established in the comics, making it difficult to predict its outcome. While Spider-Man 2099 has teamed up with Peter Parker in the past, he has not had a significant history with Miles.
One possibility is that the Spider Verse films may be leading up to the introduction of the Inheritors a group of Vampire like beings from the 2014 Spider Verse comic. In the comic the Inheritors hunt down and consume every Spider man they can find putting the entire Multiverse in danger. Miles and Miguel are both involved in the fight to stop the Inheritors and save the Web of Life and Destiny.
Even if the Inheritors do not make an appearance in Across the Spider Verse the film may be setting up their introduction in Beyond the Spider Verse which is set to be released in 2024. Perhaps Miles actions in the second movie inadvertently open the door for the Inheritors to invade the multiverse in the third movie, giving him something significant to atone for. However for now the focus is on the intriguing idea of a Spider-Man being the villain in a Spider Verse movie.
Will Miles Have His Uncle Ben Moment?
The trailer for "Across the Spider-Verse" repeatedly emphasizes the idea that most versions of Spider-Man have a mentor figure like Uncle Ben, whose death motivates them to become a hero. However, for Hailee Steinfeld's Gwen Stacy, that figure was actually Peter Parker. The trailer briefly shows the tragic day when Gwen's Peter died.
The question now is whether Miles Morales, the protagonist, will have his own Uncle Ben moment in the upcoming movie. Will he lose someone close to him and use that tragedy to become a more driven hero? The trailer hints that he may be fighting to save one of his parents, but will he succeed?
The comics have never been consistent about whether Miles has an Uncle Ben figure in his life. Initially, both of his parents are alive, but his mother Rio is later killed by Venom, although this death was undone due to the events of 2015's Secret Wars. In the Insomniac Spider-Man games, however, Miles loses his father, Jefferson, before he becomes a superhero, during an attack by Mister Negative's Inner Demons. This version of Miles does have an Uncle Ben figure.
Interestingly, the trailer shows the Insomniac version of Spider-Man still wearing his distinctive Advanced Suit from the games.
The biggest question leading into "Across the Spider-Verse" is whether Miles will have his Uncle Ben moment, or whether the death of his Uncle Aaron in the first movie was enough to motivate his hero's journey.
