Miles Morales (Shameik Moore), Peter B. Parker (Jake Johnson), Gwen Stacy (Hailee Steinfeld), Uncle Aaron/Knight Prowler (Mahershala Ali), and Spider-Ham (John Mulaney) blew audiences away, but the sequel starring Oscar Isaac is set to change everything:

Given Into the Spider-Verse showcased Wilson Fisk/Kingpin (Liev Schreiber), Olivia Octavius/Doctor Octopus, the Prowler, the Green Goblin, Tombstone (Marvin Jones III), and the Scorpion (Joaquin Cosio), it’s evident that Miles Morales is going to face-off against more villains than just The Spot.

The Marvel Cinematic Universe is becoming much more than iconic characters/Earth’s Mightiest Heroes like Star-Lord/Peter Quill (Chris Pratt), Tony Stark/Iron Man (Robert Downey, Jr.), Steve Rogers/Captain America (Chris Evans), Thor (Chris Hemsworth), Doctor Strange (Benedict Cumberbatch), the Winter Soldier (Sebastian Stan), Hawkeye/Clint Barton (Jeremy Renner), Vision (Paul Bettany), Black Widow/Natasha Romanoff (Scarlett Johansson), Bucky Barnes/Winter Soldier (Sebastian Stan) and Captain Marvel/Carol Danvers (Brie Larson).
Tom Holland’s Avenger is leading the way for Marvel Cinematic Universe newcomers Kate Bishop, Ms. Marvel/Kamala Khan (Iman Vellani), Moon Knight (Oscar Isaac), Agatha Harkness (Kathryn Hahn), She-Hulk (Tatiana Maslany), Eternals’ Thena (Angelina Jolie), and more — especially with his next Spider-Man trilogy that’s currently in the works.
