Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse is a 2018 American computer-animated superhero film featuring the Marvel Comics character Miles Morales / Spider-Man, produced by Columbia Pictures and Sony Pictures Animation in association with Marvel, and distributed by Sony Pictures Releasing. The first animated film in the Spider-Man franchise, it was directed by Bob Persichetti, Peter Ramsey, and Rodney Rothman (in Persichetti and Rothman's feature directorial debuts) from a screenplay by Phil Lord and Rothman. Shameik Moore voices Morales, starring alongside the voices of Jake Johnson, Hailee Steinfeld, Mahershala Ali, Brian Tyree Henry, Lily Tomlin, Luna Lauren Velez, John Mulaney, Kimiko Glenn, Nicolas Cage, and Liev Schreiber. Set in a shared multiverse called the "Spider-Verse," the film's story follows Miles Morales of Earth-1610 as he becomes the new Spider-Man and joins other Spider-People from various dimensions to save New York City from the Kingpin.
Plans for an animated Spider-Man film by Lord and Christopher Miller were leaked in 2014 and announced in April 2015. Persichetti, Ramsey and Rothman joined over the next two years, with Moore and Schreiber cast in April 2017. Lord and Miller wanted the film to have a unique style, combining computer animation with traditional hand-drawn comic book techniques inspired by the work of Miles Morales co-creator Sara Pichelli. The film required up to 140 animators, the largest crew used by Sony Pictures Animation on a feature film. The film is dedicated to the memories of the creators of Spider-Man, Stan Lee and Steve Ditko, who both died in 2018.
Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse premiered at the Regency Village Theater in Los Angeles on December 1, 2018, and was theatrically released in the United States on December 14, in Dolby Cinema, RealD 3D, IMAX 3D, and 4DX formats. The film grossed over $375 million worldwide against a $90 million budget. It received praise from critics for its animation, characters, story, voice acting, humor, and soundtrack. The film won numerous awards, including Best Animated Feature at the 91st Academy Awards, 46th Annie Awards, and 76th Golden Globe Awards. It is the first non-Disney/Pixar film to win the Academy Award for Best Animated Feature since Rango (2011), as well as the first non-Disney/Pixar film since Happy Feet (2006) to win that award when a Disney or Pixar film was also in contention. A sequel is set to be released on October 7, 2022, and a spin-off film is also in development.

Synopsis Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse :
Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse follows the adventures of Miles Morales, an African-American and Puerto Rican teenager who lives in Brooklyn and is trying to fit in at his new college in Manhattan. But Miles' life gets complicated when he gets bitten by a radioactive spider and discovers super powers: he is now able to poison his opponents, to camouflage himself, to literally stick to walls and ceilings; his hearing is multiplied... At the same time, the city's most formidable criminal mastermind, the Caïd, has developed a nuclear particle gas pedal capable of opening a portal to other universes. His invention will cause the arrival of several other versions of Spider-Man in Miles' world, including an older Peter Parker, Spider-Gwen, Black Spider-Man, Spider-Cochon and Peni Parker, from a Japanese cartoon.
