In 2018, Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse debuted as the #1 movie in North America its opening weekend with $35.4 million, an all-time record opening weekend for an animated film in December.
The film went on to win the Academy Award for Best Animated Film in 2019 and grossed $384.3 million worldwide, with $190.2 million coming from North American theaters and $194 million from international markets.
Based on the comic book characters created by writer Brian Michael Bendis and artist Sara Pichelli in 2011, Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse centers on the adventures of African-American/Puerto Rican Brooklyn teen Miles Morales as he tries to fit in at a new private school in Manhattan.
Miles’ father is a by-the-books police officer and his mother is a devoted nurse. They are both loving parents who are proud of their son’s achievements, and want to see him succeed in the new school for gifted students.
However, adjusting to the new school proves to be tough on Miles, who would rather spend time with his friends from the neighborhood or visit his uncle Aaron, who encourages his talents as a graffiti artist. Although Miles idolizes Aaron, his charming uncle is quite a complex character who has had troubles with the law in the past.
Miles’ life becomes even more complicated when he is bitten by a radioactive spider, and he finds himself developing super powers, which includes venom strike, camouflage, sticking to objects, incredible hearing, Spidey sense, and much more.
Meanwhile, the city’s nefarious criminal mastermind Kingpin has developed an ultra-secret nuclear super collider which opens up a portal to other universes, pulling different versions of Spider-Man (including an older Peter Parker, Spider-Gwen, Spider-Man Noir, Spider-Ham and anime Peni Parker) into Miles’ world.
Aided by familiar characters such as Peter Parker, Spider-Gwen and a kick-ass version of Aunt May, and new characters such as Spider-Ham, Spider-Man Noir and anime Peni Parker, Miles learns to accept the challenges and responsibilities of being a real superhero.
He ultimately realizes that anyone can wear the hero’s mask and take action to fight for what’s right.
