Shameik Moore as Miles Morales and Andy Samberg as Scarlet Spider in "Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse."Sony Pictures Animation/Marvel Entertainment
Voiced by: Shameik Moore.
It wouldn't be a "Spider-Verse" movie without Miles Morales, and Shameik Moore reprises his lead role from the 2018 original. This time around, Miles' story is all about proving that he's a worthy web-slinger to the Spider-Society, which is made up of the most elite Spider-People throughout the multiverse.
Voiced by: Hailee Steinfeld.
Spider-Gwen gets a much larger role in the sequel, as the opening spends more time looking at her tragic backstory — and the death of her version of Peter Parker. Hailee Steinfeld voices Gwen again, and the hero's dynamic with Miles is explored much deeper thanks to the danger to the multiverse.
Voiced by: Jake Johnson.
The third main returning Spider-Man is none other than Peter B. Parker, with "New Girl" star Jake Johnson also returning to the character. Although he's not as moody in the sequel, after getting back together with Mary-Jane Watson (Zoe Kravitz) and having a daughter with her, Mayday Parker, who also (adorably) has Spidey powers.
Voiced by: Oscar Isaac.
The Spider-Society is led by Spider-Man 2099, also known as Miguel O'Hara. "Moon Knight" and "Dune" star Oscar Isaac is the voice behind the fiery futuristic wall-crawler. He spends most of the film growling at Miles for things that aren't necessarily the young hero's fault. Although he's not the villain of the film, he's definitely a major antagonist. Greta Lee voices Miguel's AI assistant LYLA.
Voiced by: Issa Rae.
Miguel's second-in-command is Spider-Woman, aka Jessica Drew, played by "Awkward Black Girl" and "Insecure" star Issa Rae. She's a motorbike-riding badass who takes Gwen under her web and teaches her how to be a member of the Spider-Society. She's also pregnant, but much like in the comics, it's never revealed who the father is. Surprisingly, Spider-Woman spins webs out of her fingers.
Voiced by: Andy Samberg.
Another fun addition to the Spider-Society is Scarlet Spider. He's a brooding hero who spends his time perfecting his Spider-pose and flexing his muscles. This blonde-haired himbo is actually a Peter Parker clone called Ben Reilly, and he's voiced by "Brooklyn Nine-Nine" star Andy Samberg.
Voiced by: Karan Soni.
One of the most stunning sequences in the film sees Spider-Gwen search for the Spot (Jason Schwartzman) in Mumbatten on Earth-50101. The sprawling city takes inspiration from Mumbai and Manhattan, and has its own hero in Pavitr Prabhakar, aka Spider-Man India. Voice actor Karan Soni has some of the funniest lines in the film — especially in a debate about chai tea. He gets his powers from magic, rather than a radioactive spider bite.
Voiced by: Daniel Kaluuya.
One of the most unique Spider-Men in the sequel is Spider-Punk, whose real name is Hobie Brown, and is played by "Get Out," "Black Panther," and "Nope" star Daniel Kaluuya. The British hero is anti-establishment and doesn't quite conform with the rest of the Spider-Society. His animation style constantly flickers between different styles and colors to match his punky nature, and he fights with an electric guitar, which is pretty cool.
Voiced by: Amandla Stenberg.
Spider-Byte is another innovative addition to the Spider-Society, and she keeps all the tech running in their base on Earth-928. Spider-Byte's real name is Margo Kess, and she comes from a world where everyone lives life through digital avatars in virtual reality — and she stops cyber-crime as Spider-Byte.
Voiced by: Nicolas Cage.
The cool and broody Spider-Man from the 1930s makes a return at the end of "Across the Spider-Verse." The character, played by Nicolas Cage, provided great comedic relief in the first "Spider-Verse" movie. Spider-Man Noir is a private investigator who got his powers from a magical spider.
Voiced by: Kimiko Glenn.
Peni Parker from Earth-14512 also makes a return with a new robot-spider mechanized suit. As explained in the first movie, Penny is a Japanese-American student from the year 3145 who was bitten by a spider. Instead of just giving her spider-powers, she formed a psychic link with the spider who now lives in her mechanized suit SP//dr. At the end of the first movie, SP//dr was destroyed but it seems Peni has built a new one.
Voiced by: John Mulaney.
Peter Porker aka Spider-Ham is a cartoonish pig from a world of anthropomorphic animals. Spider-Ham was the wise-cracking member of the Spidey gang in the first movie and appears at the end of "Across the Spider-verse" alongside Peni and Spider-Man Noir.
Played by: Andrew Garfield.
"Across the Spider-Verse" takes several opportunities to blend animation with live-action, including a brief appearance from none other than Andrew Garfield. Unfortunately, he only appears in footage from "The Amazing Spider-Man." When Miguel O'Hara explains that certain tragic events have to happen in every Spider-Man's life to ensure the multiverse remains stable, we see Uncle Ben's (Martin Sheen) death from the 2012 movie, as well as Garfield's Peter Parker holding Captain Stacy (Denis Leary) as he dies.
Played by: Tobey Maguire.
We see another live-action Spider-Man in the same scene — Tobey Maguire's Peter Parker. Maguire's Spidey holds a dying Uncle Ben (Cliff Robertson) in his arms.
Voiced by: Josh Keaton.
"The Spectacular Spider-Man" was a popular Disney series about the masked vigilante that was canceled after two seasons due to a rights fiasco between Marvel, Disney, and Sony. As an Easter egg for fans of the show, Spectacular Spider-Man, voiced by original actor Josh Keaton, makes a brief cameo in the movie.
Voiced by: Yuri Lowenthal.
In 2018, game developers Insomniac Games released a highly popular game about the web-slinging hero. This version of Peter Parker is already an adult, struggling with balancing his life, and has numerous special spider gadgets. Early in the movie, we see Miles' roommate Ganke play the 2018 game in his room. However, in the Spider-Society HQ, Insomniac Spider-Man also makes a brief cameo, voiced by the same actor as the game.
Voiced by: Taran Killam.
Miles is forced to go on the run from the Spider-Society midway through the sequel, and he has to battle his way through the entire army of Spider-People who come from across the multiverse. He gets in a brief scuffle with Webslinger (Taran Killam), a cowboy Spider-Man who rides a horse called Widow, which also has spider powers.
Voiced by: Danielle Perez.
Charlotte Webber, aka Sun-Spider, is a relatively new comic book character, whose name is based on the novel Charlotte's Web. Sun-Spider has Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome (EDS), a real disorder that affects joints and connective tissue, thus she uses an ambulatory wheelchair or crutches. However, after receiving her spider abilities, she uses her own specialized crutch-web-shooters to become a superhero. In the new movie, Sun-Spider (voiced by Danielle Perez) fights Miles briefly while making multiple quips.
Voiced by: Nic Novicki.
When Spot learns he can travel to different universes, he teleports to numerous places including a Lego world. We stay in this world for a brief moment and meet Lego Peter Parker. This Parker humorously makes his own sound effects as he warns Miguel about Spot.
Voiced by: Sofia Barclay.
Malala Windsor (voiced by Sofia Barclay) is one of the first new Spider-People that Miles meets when he enters the Spider-Society HQ. This version is British and appears to wear a traditional Islamic headscarf. Spider-UK's last name, Windsor, appears to be a nod to the British royal family.
Malala Windsor appears to be a different version of Spider-UK than Zarina Zahari, a British-Muslim Spider-Man variation who first appears in the "Edge of Spider-Verse Vol. 2" comic book. Her costume is different from Malala Windsor's in the movie.
Voiced by: Metro Boomin.
Metro Boomin is a record producer in charge of the soundtrack to "Across the Spider-Verse." During the big fight scene, the DJ voices his own Spider-Man called Metro Spider-Man for a short cameo.
Voiced by: Michael Rianda.
One funny scene that made it into the trailers is a moment involving a Spider-Therapist, who is consoling a fellow Wall Crawler in his office. Spider-Therapist is voiced by Michael Rianda, the director of "The Mitchells vs. the Machines" — another film from "Spider-Verse" writers Phil Lord and Christopher Miller.
Voiced by: Jack Quaid.
The beginning of the movie explores Spider-Gwen's backstory before she met Miles and the other Spider-People. Since she was the one bitten by a spider, the Peter Parker (voiced by Jack Quaid) in her world remains a nerd who is bullied by his peers. Although Gwen tries to help him, Peter takes matters into his own hands and creates a chemical that accidentally turns him into a monster. Spider-Gwen stops him from killing anyone but he is killed instead in the process.
Voiced by: Jharrel Jerome.
In the final part of the movie, Miles accidentally goes to Earth-42 and meets another version of himself. This version was not bitten by a radioactive spider and seems to have taken on his Uncle Aaron's legacy as the villainous thief known as the Prowler. It appears this version of Miles is voiced by Jharrel Jerome, an Afro-Latino actor who has spoken about his hopes of portraying Miles before.
