“Spider-Man is always seen as a vigilante in the comics … but Gwen is quite literally a fugitive from the law in her universe,” Powers said. In her dimension, Spider-Woman has been wrongly accused of murdering her best friend, Peter Parker, and her father is leading the police hunt to arrest her. Gwen’s dilemma is more complicated than most. And as much as their situations are similar - they are both dealing with the solitude of being the “one and only” Spideys of their dimensions - they have their own individual struggles as well. Gwen played a supporting role in Miles’ journey to becoming Spider-Man in “ Into the Spider-Verse.” “Across the Spider-Verse,” written by Phil Lord and Chris Miller and David Callaham, is a coming-of-age story for both teenage superheroes.
Thompson, the sequel to the Academy Award-winning “ Into the Spider-Verse” is set more than a year after Gwen (voiced by Hailee Steinfeld) and her fellow dimensionally displaced Spideys made it back home after helping Miles ( Shameik Moore) save the multiverse. Directed by Joaquim Dos Santos, Kemp Powers and Justin K. “ Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse,” out Friday, offers a closer look at Gwen and her life back in her own world.
The stunning animated sequel to the 2018 Oscar-winning ‘Into the Spider-Verse’ blends Abstract Expressionism, storybook illustrations, ballet and punk with a gleefully disruptive attitude. Movies Review: No sophomore slump for spectacular ‘Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse’
