Originally released as a
bonus feature of Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse, Marvel HQ has now published the animated short
Spider-Ham: Caught in the Ham.
The four-minute video serves as a prequel to
Into the Spider-Verse, as Peter Porker, voiced by comedian/actor John Mulaney, comes face to face with the villainous Dr. Craw Daddy.
Directed by Miguel Jiron and produced by David Schulenburg,
Spider-Ham: Caught in the Ham has that classic animated look and signature
Looney Tunes humor to it thanks to the wise-cracking nature of Peter Porker.
It’s another normal day for Peter Porker, a.k.a. the Spectacular Spider-Ham, fighting bad guys and loving hot dogs, until a mysterious portal starts messing with the very fabric of his cartoon reality!
The Academy Award and Golden Globe-winning
Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse has been met with rave reviews and grossed over $375 million worldwide. Its success and reception has encouraged Sony Pictures to expand upon the Spider-Verse with a direct sequel continuing Miles Morales' story, and a spinoff film focused on the
Spider-Women.
Sony Pictures has also been discussing a potential television series, which seems to be the perfect medium for a character like Spider-Ham.
