• "Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse" dazzled the Annecy Festival.

  • The directors promise many surprises for this sequel, which will be released in May 2023.

  • The footage they showed is more than breathtaking.

What a shock !

At the Annecy Festival, the first images of

Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse

by Joaquim Dos Santos, Kemp Powers and Justin K. Thompson put festival-goers in a trance.

This sequel to

Spider-man: Next Generation

promises to be a new festival of Spideys from different universes and villains for even more spectacular fights than those of the Oscar-winning animated film in 2019.

“We want to take the spectators where they have never been before”, promised the directors who came to present some excerpts to a crowded room.

And after what we've seen, it's gone pretty well.

They announce six multiverses, parallel universes rich in surprises, and 240 different characters, each more impressive than the other!

As we were not going to take their word for it, the trio from Sony Picture Animation drew up some sequences in the process of being finished and other preparatory drawings.

And the audience - although largely made up of animation professionals - was amazed.

An awesome new villain

Why so much enthusiasm?

We find Miles Morales, the still endearing Spider-Man of the first part, still trying to compose between his studies, his family and Gwen Stacy, while the city is threatened by the Vulture.

It was not only the sympathy inspired by the character that prompted the applause but the virtuosity of the whole.

“We are so focused that we end up forgetting that we are working for an audience and Annecy gives us energy when we see the reactions of the spectators”, explains the trio to

20 Minutes

.

Energy, the team is going to need it to finish this film scheduled in France for May 31, 2023, then its sequel

Spider-Man: Beyond the Spider-Verse

, scheduled for 2024. “There is a huge expectation from the side of the public after the success of the first film, they explain.

We had to take that into consideration and it increases the pressure on the team.

Among the finds that festival-goers were able to discover, "The Spot" aka "La Tache", a villain with a breathtaking design since he is covered in mini multiverses that he can activate at will!

“He is a little-known character who corresponds well to our idea of ​​finding ourselves where we are not expected, insist the directors.

Moreover, his emotional journey is exciting and that is what matters most in the film.

The emotion we feel in front of the heroes is what guides us in the different universes.

“The ones we felt when we saw these premieres made us seething with impatience while waiting for the sequel that these gentlemen quickly left to complete.
