Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse trailer — Miles Morales, Spider-Gwen make a stunning big screen debut

Sony Pictures released the first full length trailer for Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse and it looks like it could easily be one of the most exciting movie experiences this year.

As he takes on menacing foes and saves the world one life at a time, he come to grips with his web slinging powers and grows into his role as Spider-Man. One of the coolest, unexpected cameos in the trailer is the big-screen debut of Hailee Steinfeld’s Spider-Gwen. Introduced in Edge of Spider-Verse #2 in 2015, Gwen Stacy is bitten by a radioactive spider instead of Peter in an alternate universe (specifically Earth 65).
