Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse Full Plot Summary
After what happened in the first movie, multiverse is unstable and some of villains are suddenly transported across the multiverse, Spider-Man 2099 (Miguel) leads a Spider-Society to fix it. One of them, the Vulture ends up on Gwen’s Earth. Here, Gwen is blamed for Peter’s death and Captain Stacy is on the hunt for Spider-Woman. After encountering Miguel and Jessica Drew and being found out that she is Spider-Woman by her dad, Gwen joins the Spider-Society and trains with Drew with Miguel’s reluctant approval.
Meanwhile, Miles wants to go to a far university to find a way to travel between multiverse, but his parents have mix feeling on it. His father is becoming Captain soon. Miles encounters the Spot, an engineer who worked on the particle accelerator for Fisk in the last movie and was the one bringing the Spider, which bite Miles, from Earth-42 to this world (Earth-1610). Realizing his full power, the Spot decides to power up himself by re-creating the particle accidents on other universes. After several accident, Miles have a fight with his parents, then Gwen shows up.
Miles and Gwen hang out a little bit, Gwen talks about the Spider-Society before leaving. Miles follows her and learns that the reason she is here is to stop the Spot from travel between multiverse but fails because she was hanging out with Miles earlier. Gwen follows the Spot, Miles follows Gwen and they end up on Spider-Man India’s world. Despite Spider-Punk also showing up to help, they fail to stop the Spot and Miles suddenly sees a vision where his father sacrifices himself.
The Spot escapes, thing goes crazy on Spider-Man India’s world. Miles and the gang tries to save everyone, including a variant of Gwen’s father in this world. There is still a giant black-hole type spot in this world, so Spider-Society shows up to keep everything in control. Miles is brought to the Spider-Society, meets Miguel, and has a reunion with Peter B. Miguel reveals in every universe, Spider-Man’s uncle will die, including Miles uncle, and a father of someone closed to Spider-Man and also a Captain will also die, so Miles’ father will die just like in his vision earlier, these moments are called canon events and need to happen so the multiverse is stably connected, but Miles messed up when saving Gwen’s father on Spider-Man India’s world earlier, so Miguel asks Miles to let his father die this time. Miguel also talks about his backstory and how he messed up when trying to replace Miguel on Peter B’s universe.
Miles doesn’t agree, which leads to him being chased by the Spider-Society, including Gwen and Peter B. During this, Miguel called Miles an abnormal (or something like that) because the Spider that bite him was from Earth-42, so that Earth no longer has a Spider-Man, Peter from Earth-1610 died because of Miles, and Miles was never meant to be a Spider-Man. Gwen and Peter B. also know about it, so they didn’t pay any visit to Miles after the first movie.
Miles manages to run away to go back to his world. Gwen is kick out of Spider-Society due to siding with Miles, but she is able reconcile with her father and receives the multiverse travel device from Spider-Punk, so she assembles a team with all old faces from the first one, including Peter B., and Spider-Man India and Spider-Punk to save Miles, who is being chased on Earth-1610 by Miguel, Jessica Drew and a dramatic comic version of Ben Reilly. But unknown to them and to Miles himself, he accidentally ends up on Earth-42, where his father is died, his mother is struggle with family finance, his uncle is alive and working for the Prowler, who is non other than Earth-42 version of Miles.
TL,DR: Miguel (Spider-Man 2099) creates the Spider-Society to protect the multiverse from any abnormal event and make sure all canon events (like uncle Ben’s death, Captain Stacy’s death…) happen like it should be. Multiverse has been somewhat broken after the first movie. The Spot blames Miles for his creation and he messes up the multiverse to power up and take revenge on Miles. Miles sees a vision where his father dies like Captain Stacy in many other universes, Miguel wants Miles to accept his father’s death, but Miles doesn’t so he is now chased by Miguel and the Spider-Society. At the end, Gwen assemble a team to save Miles from Miguel, while Miles ends up on Earth-42, where he is the Prowler.
Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse is all set to release in theatres on 2 June 2023.
