Before Robert Downey Jr. made Iron Man the biggest character that Marvel has, it was all Spider-Man for the fanboys out there in the entire world. Apart from DC, everything related to Spider-Man sold out like crazy! 2/3rds of the movies were awesome and all three of those were a big success at the Box Office. Then came in a bad phase for Spider-Man as Sony tried to show the world how amazing they are at ruining things. People only got really interested in the character when he started to appear in the MCU, and now everything Spider-Man related, especially Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse is being loved by the people.
It hasn’t been a long time since Venom made a huge mark at the Box Office as it is selling dramatically well throughout the world. The Box Office returns in China have allowed the film to go past the $800 Million mark with ease and the film is looking to end its run somewhere around $850-$860 Million tops. But that’s not it.
As soon as Venom enters its final stage of earning at the Box Office, Sony brings us a film set in an alternate animated Universe that may just end up doing even better than what Venom did.
Sony has been marketing Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse for almost a year! The first trailer of the film came out back in December 2017, and now we are finally moving closer to the release of the film itself. Like every other comic book movie, this film is also having some early screenings to check the response of the people, and this is the time where we finally have the people’s verdict upon the film.
There’s at least a week left before the embargo of this film lifts and we find out what the critics think about it, but the early fan reactions for this film are exactly what Sony would have wanted:
#SpiderVerse feels like a comic book come to life in the best way – the gorgeous art, the seemingly limitless sense of possibility. Miles is aces and I’m super here for sad-sack Peter pic.twitter.com/PNclTmtVha

Well, it may or may not be better than Spider-Man 2, which certainly is the best Spider-Man movie till yet, but people are actually coming out and claiming that this film indeed is a little step ahead of Spider-Man 2.

Not only are the comparisons between Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse and Spider-Man 2 going on big time, but people are actually claiming that Sony’s new animated adventure is actually the best of all animated 3D films that came out this year!
The film is just being loved by everyone who has been able to watch it in the early screenings. Every second of the film is just outstanding according to the people, and they seem to be having a blast watching the movie. This has got to be one of the best years for Sony as they are putting out remarkable films one after the other!
The Girl in the Spider’s Web is the only film that hasn’t worked out well for Sony, rest all their movies have turned in remarkable amounts of profits and Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse could potentially top them all!
With such an amazing acclaim of the audiences, it is more or less obvious that the critics are going to hail the film as well. But just imagine that in a month where we thought that Aquaman, Bumblebee and Mary Poppins will be the films that will fight for glory, an animated Spider-Man movie swings in and takes the top spot! So this sort of reaction coming from the fans is just remarkable and it seems to have raised the hype even more.
The script of the film has been given by Phil Lord, and the director’s chair has been shared by Bob Persichetti, Peter Ramsey, & Rodney Rothman. Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse stars Shameik Moore, Hailee Steinfeld, Mahershala Ali, Jake Johnson, Liev Schreiber, Brian Tyree Henry, Luna Lauren Velez, and Lily Tomlin. It opens in theatres on December 14 and here is the official synopsis:
“Phil Lord and Christopher Miller, the creative minds behind “The Lego Movie” and “21 Jump Street,” bring their unique talents to a fresh vision of a different Spider-Man Universe, with a ground breaking visual style that’s the first of its kind. “Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse” introduces Brooklyn teen Miles Morales, and the limitless possibilities of the Spider-Verse, where more than one can wear the mask.”
