MOVIE NEWS – Oscar Isaac will star in Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse 2099, in which he will play none other than Miguel O’Hara, i.e. Spider-Man living in 2099.

More Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse details have now been revealed, and it has been revealed that Oscar Isaac Miguel O’Hara, aka Spider-Man 2099, will star in the animated sequel. Courtesy of Empire magazine, writer Phil Lord revealed that Spider-Man 2099 will be the one to lead the ragtag team of Spider-Variants as they try to right the multiverse’s madness. And it won’t be an easy task.

“Miguel O’Hara is the leader of a band of warriors who are trying to clean up the aftermath of the impact explosion at the end of the first movie. And as you can imagine, it’s very difficult to lead a group of people who have never been led before [laughs].” /em>

In Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse, a selection of different versions come together to confront the main villain, The Spotted, played by Jason Schwartzman. They include Shameik Moore as Miles Morales, Hailee Steinfeld as Gwen Stacy aka Spider-Gwen, Jake Johnson as Peter B. Parker aka Spider-Man Sr., Issa Rae as pregnant Jessica Drew aka Spider-Woman, and Daniel Kaluuya , as Hobart “Hobie” Brown, aka Spider-Punk.

If that wasn’t enough for Spider-Man 2099, the sequel stars Ben Reilly, aka Scarlet Spider, Cyborg Spider-Woman, and Takuya Yamashiro as the “Japanese Spider-Man” from the 1978 Spider-Man series.

Bringing this team together is sure to prove difficult, both practically and intellectually, but we hope Spider-Man 2099 has the patience for it.

The writers and producers, Phil Lord and Christopher Miller, revealed how much animation ambitions they had to bring the Spider-Verse to life this time. “The first film had one animation style that dominated the film. This film has six,” Lord revealed. “So we’re taking those assets, adding everything we learned on The Mitchells Vs The Machines, and then scaling them up to meet the ambitions of the film. Which is to wow you every time you enter a new environment, and it’s for the style of the film to reflect the story, and for the images to be driven by feelings rather than some egg-headed art project. Which it is, by the way!”

“The two you saw in the teaser trailer are what we call Earth-50101, which we call ‘Mumbattan’ – it’s based on the look of an Indian comic book – and Nueva York from the world of Spider-Man 2099,” Miller added, before divulging more details. about how each universe will differ from the previous one. “It’s based on Syd Mead-style illustrations of what the future might look like. There’s also Gwen’s world, which is Earth-65. And it’s a watercolor-smudge style reminiscent of her comic book covers.”

Directed by Joaquim Dos Santos, Kemp Powers and Justin K. Thompson from a screenplay by Phil Lord, Christopher Miller and David Callaham Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse is scheduled to hit theaters on June 2, 2023 Spider-Man: Beyond and the Spider-Verse in March 2024.
