SPIDER-MAN: ACROSS THE SPIDER-VERSE Reportedly Adds Two Hugely Popular Spidey Variants

A new report claims that Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse has added at least two major cameos, with Tom Holland's web-slinger and Yuri Lowenthal's video game Spidey set to play a role in the sequel...

It's already been revealed that Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse is likely to include hundreds of Spidey Variants, but there are two more big additions reportedly being lined up who could be game-changers for this franchise. According to The Cosmic Circus (via Toonado.com), those are Tom Holland's Spider-Man and Yuri Lowenthal's video game Peter Parker!

For the time being, there's no word on whether Holland will actually reprise the role for this Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse sequel, so it's possible the hero will just show up in the background somewhere.

However, the site reiterates that it's definitely the MCU's Spidey who appears in the movie, and this raises big questions (particularly after the hero got his first exposure to the Multiverse/Spider-Verse in last December's Spider-Man: No Way Home). 

When it comes to Lowenthal's web-slinger, it seems likely that actor will lend his talents to Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse. After all, he has a long list of voice acting credits to his name, and the character has ties to the Multiverse after playing a major role in the Spider-Geddon comic book event. 

Interestingly, the same source has told the site that there have been talks about Andrew Garfield and Tobey Maguire's Spider-Men also swinging into the movie for a cameo. It's currently unclear whether that would happen in Across the Spider-Verse or Beyond the Spider-Verse

The potential cameos keep on coming, as the report wraps up by teasing that we may also see Josh Keaton and Christopher Daniel Barnes reprise their respective roles as the Spectacular and 90s Variants of this iconic superhero. 

Only time will tell whether these rumours pan out, but we're definitely excited to see what promises to be a star-studded team-up for Miles Morales when he returns in the follow-up to 2018's Oscar-winning effort. When it comes to reuniting the three live-action wall-crawlers, though, we can't help but think that would be best saved for a future live-action project.

Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse swings into theaters on June 2, 2023.

@tmp3 - me neither, but since they announced the Spot, j hoped they'd continue some of the 90s cartoon Spidey's story

@tmp3 - Holland was supposed to be in the first one but I think due to scheduling it fell through or maybe the whole sony vs disney thing at the time put that to a halt. So him being in this one I can maybe see. Given Sony made the spiderman game, Yuri is basically a lock for the second one especially with how popular it is. And if they are hopping through the multiverse a video game world would be a great thing to add.

I'm pressing x to doubt on this. The same thing was said for into the spiderverse as well.

This is one of those times where you have enough leeway to throw random shit at the wall and one of them is bound to stick.

It’s just annoying when one of these random guesses gets passed as some sort of “reliable scoop” like El Mayimbe does, ugh

I really hope so. With all of the MCU multiverse stuff happening, it'd be a big missed opportunity not to connect with the other big Marvel multiverse series

Could always just use the What If Spider-Man. As far the Playstation Spider-Man, I wonder if they'll use the PS4 or the PS5 look

If they really want to lean into the absurdity they should bring in Hostess Fruit Pies Spider-Man. Constantly being appalled at how violent his other counterparts are with their punches and kicks (Except 90s Cartoon Spider-Man; He wasn't allowed to punch) while he's trying to de-escalate every situation with a delicious Hostess Fruit Pie.

What about Nic Cage and the rest of the cast from the first one? Are any of them coming back?

I want Electric Company Spider-Man and Japan’s Supaidaman (with Leopardon megabot).

@NoAssemblyReqd - I'd like to see Morgan Freeman make a cameo, if they do add the Electric Company Spider-man.

I wonder why Nicholas Hammond hasn't showed up as an old Spider-man, or just a guy on a subway in a new film?

@NoAssemblyReqd - The filmmakers have all but confirmed Supaidaman, with Leopardon. I think it's a safe bet we'll see him.

Hopefully with this movie being much bigger than the first, it can retain the story and character quality of the first one.

Not a fan of the PlayStation costume but I don't mind them featuring it in the movie,my brother loves it though.
Tom Holland would be an interesting addition but I don't think it'll happen.
