Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse is a 2018 American animated superhero film based on Marvel Comics featuring the character Miles Morales / Spider-Man. Directed by Bob Persichetti, Peter Ramsey, and Rodney Rothman from a screenplay by Phil Lord and Rothman, it is the first animated film in the Spider-Man franchise and the first film in the Spider-Verse franchise, which is set in a shared multiverse of alternate universes called the "Spider-Verse". Produced by Columbia Pictures and Sony Pictures Animation in association with Marvel Entertainment, and distributed by Sony Pictures Releasing, it stars Shameik Moore as Miles Morales, alongside Jake Johnson, Hailee Steinfeld, Mahershala Ali, Brian Tyree Henry, Lily Tomlin, Luna Lauren Vélez, John Mulaney, Kimiko Glenn, Nicolas Cage, and Liev Schreiber. The film's story follows Miles as he becomes the new Spider-Man and joins other Spider-People from various parallel universes who team up to save New York City from the Kingpin.
Plans for an animated Spider-Man film by Phil Lord and Christopher Miller were leaked in 2014 and announced in April 2015. Persichetti, Ramsey and Rothman joined over the next two years, with Moore and Schreiber cast in April 2017. Lord and Miller wanted the film to have a unique style, combining computer animation with hand-drawn comic techniques inspired by the work of Miles Morales co-creator Sara Pichelli. The film required the largest crew of animators used by Sony Pictures Animation on a feature film.
The film premiered at the Regency Village Theater in Los Angeles on December 1, 2018, and was theatrically released in the United States on December 14. The film grossed $394 million worldwide against a $90 million budget and received critical acclaim. The film won Best Animated Feature at the 91st Academy Awards, and numerous other accolades. Into the Spider-Verse has since been regarded as one of the greatest and most impactful animated films, particularly for its groundbreaking achievement in animation, with filmmakers and animation peers praising its aesthetics and acknowledging its influence on subsequent animated productions.
A sequel, Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse, was released in 2023 to similar critical acclaim and greater commercial success, while a third film, Spider-Man: Beyond the Spider-Verse, is scheduled for a 2027 release. A spin-off film focused on female Spider-related characters is in development.
Plot
New York City teenager Miles Morales struggles to live up to the expectations of his father, police officer Jefferson Davis, who sees Spider-Man as a menace. Miles' uncle Aaron takes him to an abandoned subway station to paint graffiti as a way to cheer him up. There, Miles is bitten by a radioactive spider and gains abilities similar to Spider-Man. Returning to the station where he got bit, he discovers a collider built by Kingpin, who hopes to access parallel universes to abduct alternate versions of his late wife Vanessa and son Richard. Spider-Man attempts to disable the collider while fighting Kingpin's enforcers, the Green Goblin and Prowler.
Green Goblin shoves Spider-Man into the collider, causing an explosion that kills the former and wounds the latter, who then gives Miles a USB flash drive designed to disable the collider, warning that the machine could destroy the city if reactivated. After watching in horror as Kingpin murders Spider-Man, Miles flees. As the city mourns Spider-Man's death, Miles tries to honor his legacy by becoming the new Spider-Man, but inadvertently damages the drive. At Spider-Man's grave, he meets Peter B. Parker, a middle-aged, world-weary variant of Spider-Man from another dimension.
The duo infiltrate Kingpin's research facility to steal data for a new flash drive. They are confronted by head scientist Olivia Octavius, who discovers that Peter will die from cellular decay if he remains in their dimension. Miles and Peter are saved by Gwen Stacy, a Spider-Woman from another dimension. They visit Spider-Man's aunt, May Parker, who is sheltering more Spider-People who slipped into Miles' universe from other dimensions due to the collider's influence—Spider-Man Noir, Peni Parker, and Spider-Ham—who are also deteriorating. Miles offers to help the others return home but they tell him he lacks experience.
Distraught, Miles retreats to Aaron's home, where he discovers his uncle is the Prowler. He flees to May's house, where the new drive is completed by Peni; he is followed by Kingpin, Aaron, Octavius, Scorpion, and Tombstone. In the ensuing brawl, he reveals his identity to Aaron. Unwilling to kill his own nephew, Aaron attempts to spare Miles, but is fatally shot by Kingpin in retaliation and dies in Miles' arms. Miles flees just as Jefferson arrives on the scene; he mistakes the new Spider-Man as his brother's murderer. The Spider-People regroup with a devastated Miles. Not wanting to let Miles get killed, Peter restrains Miles with his webs and chooses to sacrifice himself by staying behind and deactivating the collider.
Jefferson arrives outside the door of Miles' dorm room and apologizes for his mistakes and expresses his faith in Miles, inspiring him. Miles manages to control his powers, escapes his restraints, and creates his own Spider-Man suit. He joins the other Spider-People in defeating Kingpin's enforcers, and uses the new drive to send them home. Kingpin fights and overpowers Miles, attracting Jefferson's attention. Realizing that Spider-Man is not the menace he saw him as, he encourages Miles, who throws Kingpin at the collider's kill switch, destroying it. The city is saved, Kingpin and his henchmen are arrested and Jefferson receives evidence of Kingpin's murders of Aaron and the first Spider-Man.
Miles embraces the responsibilities of his new life. Later, Gwen finds a way to contact Miles from her own dimension.{{efn|In Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse (2023), this scene is established to take place sixteen months later.}} Elsewhere, Miguel O'Hara, also known as Spider-Man 2099, travels to Earth-67 and argues with its Spider-Man.{{efn|This scene is a reference to a scene from the 1967–1970 Spider-Man TV series episode "Double Identity", in which the villain Charles Cameo dresses up like Spider-Man to impersonate him; the episode's scene has since become an Internet meme.{{cite web |date= December 14, 2018 |first= Joanna |last= Robinson |title= Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse: The End of Credits Scene, Explained |url=https://www.vanityfair.com/hollywood/2018/12/spider-man-into-the-spider-verse-end-of-credits-who-is-miguel-ohara |website= Vanity Fair |publisher= Condé Nast |access-date= September 20, 2019 |archive-date= August 4, 2020 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200804205809/https://www.vanityfair.com/hollywood/2018/12/spider-man-into-the-spider-verse-end-of-credits-who-is-miguel-ohara |url-status= live }}}}

- Shameik Moore as Miles Morales / Spider-Man:
An intelligent and rebellious teenager of African-American and Puerto Rican descent, who is imbued with spider-like abilities after being bitten by a radioactive spider and eventually takes up the mantle of the masked vigilante Spider-Man. Producers Lord and Miller described the character as unique among Spider-Men because of his Brooklyn upbringing, his African-American and Puerto-Rican background, and the fact that his family is still alive, with that family dynamic being central to the film's story. - Jake Johnson as Peter B. Parker / Spider-Man:
Miles' reluctant mentor, a disheveled, jaded, and brown-haired 38-year-old counterpart of the hero from another dimension. He is intended to be an amalgamation of all pop culture Spider-Man adaptations and interpretations. Lord and Miller envisioned him to be like The Karate Kid{{'}}s Mr. Miyagi, if "Mr. Miyagi doesn't know anything", which they thought was a "really neat color to put onto Peter that we hadn't seen before". - Hailee Steinfeld as Gwen Stacy / Spider-Woman: A dimension-displaced counterpart of Gwen Stacy with spider-like abilities, who takes up the alias of "Gwanda" while at Miles' school. In onscreen comic books while explaining her origin story, she is referred to as "Spider-Gwen".
- Mahershala Ali as Aaron Davis / The Prowler: Miles' uncle, who moonlights as a masked enforcer for Wilson Fisk while keeping it a secret from his family. He is rebellious, causing him to be looked at poorly by Jefferson.
- Brian Tyree Henry as Jefferson Davis:
Miles' African-American father, a police officer, who disapproves of Spider-Man's vigilante actions. At the age of 35, Henry had said he was too young to portray a father of a teenager, but agreed to the role after learning that Miles Morales was the only black, Latino Spider-Man. - Lily Tomlin as May Parker: Peter's aunt, who is dead in Peter B. Parker's universe, and provides refuge for the other Spider-People in Miles' universe.
- Luna Lauren Vélez as Rio Morales: Miles' Puerto-Rican mother, a nurse.
- Zoë Kravitz as Mary Jane "MJ" Parker: Peter Parker's wife in Miles' universe and Peter B. Parker's former wife in his universe.
- John Mulaney as Peter Porker / Spider-Ham: An alternate talking animal version of Spider-Man from an anthropomorphic universe, who was once a spider, bitten by a radioactive pig.{{Cite web |url=https://screenrant.com/spider-verse-spider-ham-comic-movie-changes/ |title=Spider-Ham's Comic Backstory (And What The Spider-Verse Movie Changed) |website=Screen Rant |date=December 24, 2018 |access-date=December 24, 2018 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20181224213733/https://screenrant.com/spider-verse-spider-ham-comic-movie-changes/ |archive-date=December 24, 2018 | url-status = live }}
- Kimiko Glenn as Peni Parker / SP//dr:
A young Japanese-American girl from an alternative anime-like universe who copilots a biomechanical suit with a radioactive spider that she shares a telepathic link with. The filmmakers initially considered using Silk as their Asian-American Spider-Man, but eventually settled on Peni because of her more distinctive power set compared to the other Spider-People.{{Cite news|url=https://www.buzzfeednews.com/article/adambvary/spider-man-into-the-spider-verse-miles-morales|title=The Revolutionary Inclusion Of "Spider-Man: Into The Spider-Verse"|last=B.

Production designer Justin Thompson considered Lord and Miller's desire to use an anime design and came up with the idea to portray her in an art style similar to Sailor Moon.{{Cite instagram|title=Penni Parker went through a lot of iterations but I was pretty happy where it finally landed- Phil and Chris wanted to go full anime in terms of her design and so @omarrrrrrrr311 was able to navigate those notes on the sculptural end while I channeled my 1992 Sailor Moon with her facial expressions- SPDR also changed until @yashar.kassai finally hit it with the final design-another great example of the type of collaboration that happened on that show*|postid=BrR2hkCFu6T |archive-url=https://ghostarchive.org/iarchive/s/instagram/BrR2hkCFu6T |archive-date=December 23, 2021 |url-access=subscription|access-date=February 23, 2019|user=shiyoon83|date=December 12, 2018|first=Shiyoon|last=Kim}}{{cbignore}} - Nicolas Cage as Peter Parker / Spider-Man Noir:
An alternate version of Peter Parker from a monochromatic universe set in the 1930s. Cage based his character on the films of Humphrey Bogart, and the voices of actors from that era such as James Cagney and Edward G. Robinson. - Kathryn Hahn as Doctor Olivia "Liv" Octavius: The head scientist and CEO of Alchemax, and a scientific adviser to Wilson Fisk. The character uses highly advanced tentacles and is featured in much of the marketing for Alchemax, even being seen in a documentary by Miles in school.
- Liev Schreiber as Wilson Fisk / The Kingpin: A crime lord and the benefactor of Alchemax in Miles' dimension. His ultimate motive is to abduct alternate versions of his late wife and son, who died in a car crash escaping from him.
In addition to the six main versions of Spider-Man present in the film, Chris Pine is featured as a 26-year-old, blond-haired blue-eyed version of Peter Parker's Spider-Man native to Miles' dimension. Though he offers to mentor Miles, he is murdered by Kingpin after the activation of the collider before he can do so. This version of Parker was intended to be "as competent a Spider-Man as possible", and combines elements from previous Spider-Man portrayals, but with slight differences to indicate that he is from a different universe than the others. According to Parker's eulogy, he was a graduate student and married to Mary Jane Parker.
Additional voices for the film include: Lake Bell as Vanessa Fisk, Kingpin's wife, Jorma Taccone as Norman Osborn / Green Goblin, a genetically enhanced mercenary working for Kingpin, Marvin "Krondon" Jones III as Tombstone, Kingpin's silent and heavily armed bodyguard, Joaquín Cosío as Scorpion, a Mexican cyborg with prosthetic legs and a tail,{{cite web |url=https://www.marvel.com/articles/movies/your-guide-to-the-heroes-and-villains-of-spider-man-into-the-spider-verse |publisher=Marvel Comics |title=Your Guide to the Heroes and Villains of 'Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse' |date=December 14, 2018 |first=Eric |last=Goldman |access-date=December 18, 2018 |archive-date=April 19, 2019 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190419201937/https://www.marvel.com/articles/movies/your-guide-to-the-heroes-and-villains-of-spider-man-into-the-spider-verse |url-status=live }} and Post Malone (who contributed to the film's soundtrack) as a bystander in Brooklyn. An archival recording of Cliff Robertson from Spider-Man 2 (2004) was used for a flashback scene involving the character Ben Parker. Spider-Man co-creator Stan Lee appears in a posthumous cameo, as a character named Stan who sells a Spider-Man costume to Morales. Lord and Miller said it was important to give Lee a bigger moment in the film rather than just a passing cameo, because he was "so integral to the spirit of this movie", and the role was "extra meaningful" following Lee's death in November 2018. Lee's character also has several brief "Easter egg" cameos throughout the film, such as when he walks over Miles and Peter B. when they are lying on the streets of New York City.{{cite web |url=https://www.cinemablend.com/news/2466828/stan-lees-second-into-the-spider-verse-cameo-has-been-spotted |title= Stan Lee's Second Into The Spider-Verse Cameo Has Been Spotted |first= Nick |last= Evans |date= February 12, 2019 |website= CinemaBlend |access-date= April 30, 2019 |archive-date= July 27, 2019 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190727210402/https://www.cinemablend.com/news/2466828/stan-lees-second-into-the-spider-verse-cameo-has-been-spotted |url-status= live }}{{cite AV media | date = February 25, 2019 | first = Chris | last = Snyder | title = How Oscar-winning 'Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse' changed comic book movies forever | work = Business Insider |url=https://www.businessinsider.com/spiderman-spider-man-into-spider-verse-animated-frame-rate-marvel-stan-lee-2019-2 | quote="if you look closely, you can find multiple Stan Lees inserted in certain frames".}}{{Cite web|url=https://www.cbr.com/stan-lee-has-more-into-the-spider-verse-cameos/|title=Stan Lee Has More Into the Spider-Verse Cameos|date=January 7, 2019|website=Comic Book Resources|access-date=January 7, 2019|archive-date=July 27, 2019|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190727210403/https://www.cbr.com/stan-lee-has-more-into-the-spider-verse-cameos/|url-status=live}} A young Matt Murdock from Gwen's dimension appears in an "Easter egg" cameo during Morales' final train fight scene as an alternate universe adopted son of Kingpin.{{Cite web|url=https://www.cbr.com/is-into-the-spider-verses-daredevil-easter-egg-actually-a-sequel-tease/|title=Is Into the Spider-Verse's Daredevil Easter Egg Actually a Sequel Tease?|date=March 2, 2019|website=Comic Book Resources|access-date=January 7, 2019|archive-date=March 3, 2019|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190303114747/https://www.cbr.com/is-into-the-spider-verses-daredevil-easter-egg-actually-a-sequel-tease/|last=Fugere|first=Mike|url-status=live}}

Following the November 2014 hacking of Sony's computers, emails between then-Sony Pictures Entertainment co-chairman Amy Pascal and president Doug Belgrad were released, saying that Sony was planning to "rejuvenate" the Spider-Man franchise by developing an animated comedy film with Phil Lord and Christopher Miller. During her time as Sony's co-chairman, Pascal approached Lord and Miller about making an animated Spider-Man movie, to which Lord and Miller agreed with the condition that they could adapt Dan Slott's 2014 "Spider-Verse" comic book storyline and star Miles Morales as the protagonist. Sony executives were set to talk about the project further in a discussion regarding several Spider-Man spin-off films at a summit in January 2015. At the 2015 CinemaCon in April, Sony Pictures chairman Tom Rothman announced that the animated Spider-Man film had a July 20, 2018 release date, and would be produced by Lord and Miller, Avi Arad, Matt Tolmach, and Pascal, with Lord and Miller also writing a treatment for the film. Rothman said that it would "co-exist" with the live-action Spider-Man films; though Sony soon stated that the film would "exist independently of the projects in the live-action Spider-Man universe", as it is set in an alternate universe from those films, without the version of Spider-Man as seen in the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU).
In December 2015, Sony moved the film's release date to December 21, 2018. Bob Persichetti was chosen to direct that month, following engagement with Sony about a failed film based on Playmobil toys. By June 2016, Lord had written a full script. Miller said the film would feel different from previous Spider-Man films, and would "stand on its own as a unique film-going experience". It was also "rumored" to focus on the Miles Morales version of Spider-Man, which Sony confirmed at a presentation for its upcoming animated films in January 2017. Peter Ramsey had joined the film as a co-director at the end of 2016, after frequently working alongside Persichetti. In February 2017, Alex Hirsch was named as a story contributor and Christina Steinberg replaced Tolmach as a producer; she previously collaborated with Ramsey on Rise of the Guardians (2012) while at DreamWorks Animation. In April, the release date was pushed up one week from December 21, 2018, to December 14, 2018. Lord and Miller announced the film's full title in December and said that multiple Spider-Men would appear in the film. By then, Rodney Rothman, who had previously co-written the screenplay for Lord and Miller's 22 Jump Street (2014), was added as a co-director. Rothman was initially added as a writer on the script, fulfilling duties Lord was unable to do due to commitments to Solo: A Star Wars Story and other projects, and as production progressed he wished to be a director. As he was the only co-writer Lord would "fully endorse", and since it was typical that writers would be involved in editorial processes with directors, Rothman wanted to fulfill a role "beyond this".
=Writing=
The script is credited to Lord and Rothman from a story by Lord, making it the first film Lord had written without Miller. As six Spider-Man films had been made already, the team agreed they first needed to decide why this one needed to be made; their answer was to tell the story of Morales, who had yet to appear in a film. Brian Michael Bendis, co-creator of Miles Morales, consulted on the film adaptation. The first full cut of animatics and storyboards for the film was over two hours long, which is uncommon for animated films. The directors attributed this mostly to Lord and Miller, and their approach of adding as many elements to the film as they could at the outset, with the intention of seeing what it could "handle"; and then shaping the film from there. They said that the final runtime would be between 90 and 120 minutes, the standard length of an animated film. They added that a balance would have to be found between the expectations of an animated film that will have a large audience of children, and the requirements of the story. The directors felt the plot was similar to the live-action Spider-Man films, especially due to the large number of characters in the film. One year prior to its release, Lord and Rothman opted to rewrite the story as they had to "figure out how to reshape sequences we had already boarded and animated and fold them in with new stuff". They also added that they had substantially rewritten the third act.
The film was originally set to feature a romance between Miles Morales and Spider-Gwen. While the idea was scrapped, Gwen was still featured prominently in the film, mostly due to the efforts of producer Christina Steinberg. By August 2018, the directors had considered what a potential post-credits scene for the film could be, given that audiences have come to expect them from Marvel films. At one point the writers wished to include a post-credits scene with cameos by all three live-action Spider-Man actors, Tobey Maguire, Andrew Garfield, and Tom Holland, but this was canceled as Sony felt such a moment at the time would cause confusion and be too risky.{{cite web |last=Bisset |first=Jennifer |title=Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse almost had Tom Holland, Tobey Maguire and Andrew Garfield cameos |url=https://www.cnet.com/news/spider-man-into-the-spider-verse-almost-had-tom-holland-tobey-maguire-and-andrew-garfield-cameos/ |website=CNet |access-date=December 11, 2020 |archive-date=June 17, 2020 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200617021841/https://www.cnet.com/news/spider-man-into-the-spider-verse-almost-had-tom-holland-tobey-maguire-and-andrew-garfield-cameos/ |url-status=live }} Holland recalled the scene was intended to include him as a passerby at a train station who says, "Hey, kid!" to Miles.{{cite magazine |date=June 29, 2019 |last=Fitzpatrick |first=Kevin |title=Tom Holland Met Miles Morales in Cut Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse Cameo |url=https://www.vanityfair.com/hollywood/2019/06/tom-holland-spider-man-cameo-miles-morales |url-status=live |magazine=Vanity Fair |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20201129203143/https://www.vanityfair.com/hollywood/2019/06/tom-holland-spider-man-cameo-miles-morales |archive-date=November 29, 2020 |quote=At one point, I was supposed to be in it |access-date=April 1, 2022 }} In the original subplot, Miles was going to become Spider-Man from learning from an audio commentary featuring James Cameron and Tom Cruise.{{Cite web |last=Sciretta |first=Peter |date=2019-02-26 |title=Tom Cruise And James Cameron Were Almost In 'Spider-Man: Into The Spider-Verse' |url=https://www.slashfilm.com/564572/tom-cruise-in-spider-verse/ |access-date=2024-06-30 |website=SlashFilm |language=en-US}}
=Casting=
Shameik Moore was cast as Miles Morales in April 2017, along with Liev Schreiber as the film's then-unspecified main villain. A month later, Mahershala Ali and Brian Tyree Henry joined the cast as Morales's uncle Aaron Davis and father Jefferson Davis, respectively. That December, Lord and Miller said that an adult Peter Parker / Spider-Man would appear in the film as a mentor to Morales. Maguire, who played Spider-Man in the Sam Raimi films, was initially considered to be cast as this version of Spider-Man, but the idea was dropped so as not to confuse the audience with the concept of the "Spider-Verse".{{Cite news|url=https://screencrush.com/tobey-maguire-into-the-spider-verse/|title=Tobey Maguire Was Considered for 'Spider-Verse's Peter Parker|last=Singer|first=Matt|date=December 4, 2018|work=ScreenCrush|access-date=February 22, 2019|archive-date=August 12, 2019|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190812035341/https://screencrush.com/tobey-maguire-into-the-spider-verse/|url-status=live}} Jake Johnson was ultimately cast in the role in April 2018. It was also announced that the characters Green Goblin, Kingpin, and Prowler would also appear, with their designs based on the Ultimate Marvel comic series. Kathryn Hahn was cast as a female variant of Doctor Octopus called Olivia Octavius; earlier drafts for the film had the character's known male version as a The Big Lebowski (1998)-type of character, but Persichetti came up with changing the character's gender due to his kids being friends with Hahn's.{{Cite tweet |number=1258215406633799680 |user=rodneyrothman |title=Turning Doc Ock into a woman was a @bob_persichetti idea.

Chris Pine as the Peter Parker of Miles' universe and Oscar Isaac as Spider-Man 2099 were announced in November 2018. Pine was also involved in Ramsey's previous film, Rise of the Guardians. Lord and Miller explained that the alternate Spider-Man characters were chosen based on the comics they had read, as well as research they conducted on Marvel Comics, with the intention of including actual characters from the comics who "were as diverse as possible".

Daniel Pemberton was announced as the film's composer in July 2018. A full soundtrack album was released by Republic Records on December 14, the day of the film's release, and was curated to represent what a teen like Miles Morales would listen to. Artists on the soundtrack include Jaden Smith, Nicki Minaj, Lil Wayne, Post Malone, Ty Dolla Sign, Juice Wrld, Swae Lee, Ski Mask the Slump God, Vince Staples, Thutmose, and the late XXXTentacion, who was marketed as a special guest on the Lil Wayne and Ty Dolla Sign song "Scared of the Dark". A separate album containing Pemberton's score was released by Sony Classical Records on December 17. On December 20, Sony Pictures Animation announced an extended play album, A Very Spidey Christmas, based on a throwaway joke at the beginning of the film and consisting of five Christmas songs performed by cast members Shameik Moore, Jake Johnson, and Chris Pine. The EP was released on digital platforms the next day.
Elliphant recorded the song "To the End" for the film, where it served as the introduction music for Spider-Woman. The song was released as a single in January 2019 a month after the film was released.{{cite web |url=https://www.pmstudio.com/music/music.html?page=20190129-8774 |title=Elliphant Premieres New Song "To The End" from Computer Animated Film "Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse" |website=PM Studio |date=January 29, 2019 |access-date=August 27, 2020 |archive-date=April 21, 2021 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210421201418/https://www.pmstudio.com/music/music.html?page=20190129-8774 |url-status=live}}
=Animation and design=
The film's animation was handled by Sony Pictures Imageworks in Vancouver, who had handled nearly all of Sony Pictures Animation's prior films, as well as visual effects for all prior Spider-Man films. According to Lord and Miller, they wanted the film to feel like the viewer had "walked inside a comic book", and were excited about telling the story in a way they believed the live-action films could not. Persichetti concurred, feeling that animation was the best medium to honor the comics, allowing the production team to adapt 70-year-old comic art techniques for the film's visual language. It took around a year for two animators to create 10 seconds of footage that reflected the producers' vision; the animation work was created from there. During initial development, the directors worked with a single animator, Alberto Mielgo, to establish the film's look.{{Cite web |url=https://www.cartoonbrew.com/feature-film/alberto-mielgos-early-boards-for-spider-man-into-the-spider-verse-are-truly-amazing-169521.html |title=Alberto Mielgo's Early Boards For 'Spider-Man: Into The Spider-Verse' Are Nothing Short Of Amazing |last=Amidi |first=Amid |author-link=Amid Amidi |website=Cartoon Brew |date=January 25, 2019 |access-date=July 17, 2020 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200717190436/https://www.cartoonbrew.com/feature-film/alberto-mielgos-early-boards-for-spider-man-into-the-spider-verse-are-truly-amazing-169521.html |archive-date=July 17, 2020 |url-status=live}} Although Mielgo was let go by Sony before the movie had been significantly produced due to artistic differences,{{cite web |last=Mielgo |first=Alberto |title=Spiderman ― + |url=http://www.albertomielgo.com/spiderman/2018/12/19/d9zhz04jz8ddc22m0rcduzm56vw4fd |website=albertomielgo.com |access-date=April 21, 2021 |archive-date=November 12, 2020 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20201112022935/http://www.albertomielgo.com/spiderman/2018/12/19/d9zhz04jz8ddc22m0rcduzm56vw4fd |url-status=live }} this number eventually grew to 60 animators during production. It became clear that they could not complete the film on time, so the crew was expanded further. The number had reached 142 animators by August 2018 and at one point reached 177 animators,{{Cite AV media |last=Sony – Stories |title=Creating the groundbreaking style of Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse |date=December 17, 2018 |url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jQOUWuilUsM&t=249 |access-date= February 18, 2019}} the largest animation crew that Sony Pictures Imageworks had ever used for a film. Animation work was completed in October 2018.
The CGI animation for the film was combined with "line work and painting and dots and all sorts of comic book techniques", to make it look like it was created by hand, which was described as "a living painting". This was achieved by artists taking rendered frames from the CGI animators and working on top of them in 2D, with the goal of making every frame of the film "look like a comic panel".{{cite web|url=https://www.polygon.com/2018/12/11/18136056/spider-man-into-the-spider-verse-movie-art-animation-style-visual-effects|title='We ended up making five movies': An exclusive look at Into the SpiderVerse's art style|date=December 11, 2018|website=Polygon|access-date=December 14, 2018|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20181215001020/https://www.polygon.com/2018/12/11/18136056/spider-man-into-the-spider-verse-movie-art-animation-style-visual-effects|archive-date=December 15, 2018| url-status = live }} Lord described this style of animation as "totally revolutionary", and explained that the design combines the in-house style of Sony Pictures Animation with the "flavor" of comic artists such as Sara Pichelli (who co-created Miles Morales) and Robbi Rodriguez. The film's tone and visual style also drew influence from Japanese anime and manga works such as Hayao Miyazaki films and Akira (1988).{{cite news |last=Morrissy |first=Kim |title=Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse Directors Discuss Film's Japanese Anime Influences |url=https://www.animenewsnetwork.com/interest/2019-05-19/spider-man-into-the-spider-verse-directors-discuss-film-japanese-anime-influences/.146685 |access-date=March 2, 2022 |work=Anime News Network |date=May 19, 2019}}
To make the film feel more like a comic book, it was animated without motion blur, instead using an older technique of 2D animation called motion smearing, as seen in the 1942 Looney Tunes short The Dover Boys. The frame rate varied between 24 images (animating on ones) and 12 images (animating on twos) per second, the latter case using the same image twice. The producers described the effect as making the animation "crunchy". Sometimes, the two frame rates would be used in the same scene, such as when Miles and Peter Parker swing through the forest; Miles was animated at 12 frames to show his inexperience while Peter was animated at 24 frame to give him smoother movement. With characters being held up for one, two and three frames, it made their motion look jittery, which was named stepped animation.{{Cite web |last=Bramesco |first=Charles |date=2019-01-18 |title=How Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse Changed the Animation Game |url=https://www.vulture.com/2019/01/how-spider-man-into-the-spider-verse-changed-animation.html |access-date=2024-03-09 |website=Vulture |language=en}} To create depth of field, another technique was used: deliberately misaligned colors, as if the colors had been slightly misprinted, as happens with ink printing in real comics. Other methods to make the film look more like a comic were halftones and Ben-Day dots to create colors, tones and gradients, crisscrossed lines to create texture and shadows, Kirby Krackle to create the illusion of energy, motion lines to show movement, and onomatopoeia, words on the image, to represent sounds and motion.{{cite web |date= 2019 |last= Snyder |first= Chris |title= How Oscar-winning 'Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse' changed comic book movies forever |url=https://www.businessinsider.com/spiderman-spider-man-into-spider-verse-animated-frame-rate-marvel-stan-lee-2019-2 |website= Business Insider |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190222212524/https://www.businessinsider.com/spiderman-spider-man-into-spider-verse-animated-frame-rate-marvel-stan-lee-2019-2 |archive-date= February 22, 2019 }}
Rather than using animation principles like squash and stretch, the animators came up with substitute versions, "so that in texture and feel it felt different, but it still achieved the same goal—to either feel weight or anticipation or impact or things like that."{{cite web|url=https://www.cartoonbrew.com/interviews/if-we-could-do-anything-our-own-way-what-would-we-do-a-conversation-with-spider-man-co-director-bob-persichetti-168009.html|title="If We Could Do Anything Our Own Way, What Would We Do?": A Conversation With 'Spider-Man' Co-Director Bob Persichetti|date=December 18, 2018|website=Cartoon Brew|access-date=December 20, 2018|archive-date=July 27, 2019|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190727212029/https://www.cartoonbrew.com/interviews/if-we-could-do-anything-our-own-way-what-would-we-do-a-conversation-with-spider-man-co-director-bob-persichetti-168009.html|url-status=live}} Different comic styles were emulated throughout the film for the different characters, with Gwen's animation based on the designs in her comics, Spider-Man Noir having a black-and-white color scheme, Spider-Ham being designed as "cartoony" as possible, and Peni Parker being based on Japanese anime and manga such as Sailor Moon.

The directors all felt that the film would be one of the few that audiences actually "need" to watch in 3D, due to the immersive nature of the animated world created, and the way that the hand-drawn animation elements designed specifically for the film create a unique experience; Persichetti described the experience as a combination of the effects of an old-fashioned hand-drawn multiplane camera and a modern virtual reality environment. One scene in Aaron Davis's apartment includes an image of Donald Glover in the background, which references Glover's part in fan campaigns to see a non-white version of Spider-Man, as well as a scene from the Community episode "Anthropology 101" where Glover's character of Troy Barnes wakes up in Spider-Man pajamas.

Release
=Marketing=
A thirty-second sizzle reel from the film was shown at a Sony Pictures Animation presentation in January 2017, revealing that the film focuses on Miles Morales. Scott Mendelson at Forbes said the footage "looked incredible {{sic}} stylized and resembled a cross between an Alex Ross image and a psychedelic [comic] cover", but felt the most significant element of the presentation was the confirmation of Morales, meaning "2018 will offer another comic book superhero movie featuring a hero of color, during the same year as Marvel's Black Panther." A teaser trailer for the film debuted at the 2017 Comic Con Experience, and was then released online. Chris Cabin at Collider felt the trailer "looks much better than it ever needed to. The style and design that is on display ... is vibrant and immediately engaging on a visual level, showing a genuine sense of personality to the production." io9's Julie Muncy called the trailer's visual design "elegant" and "fresh", and highlighted the use of music by Vince Staples, which was also used for the Black Panther trailers.
The official trailer for the film was released online at the start of June 2018, and was praised by Chaim Gartenberg of The Verge for its "absolutely gorgeous" art style, also highlighting Miles and Gwen's appearances. For Cartoon Brew, Amid Amidi praised the trailer for focusing on drama rather than action, and for seemingly targeting "a slightly hipper, more urban, and teen-oriented crowd." He felt that animated films were usually focused on pleasing "all-ages, all-audiences," which marked this film as a "radical change for United States feature animation". Dani Di Placido of Forbes praised the trailer for inspiring interest in the Spider-Man property after several different incarnations of the character had appeared in films. He said it achieved this by leaning into the comic storyline of the Spider-Verse and having multiple versions of the character in one film, and by its "beautifully rendered" visuals, that differentiated it from other major animated films. Placido said, "it's nice to see a movie just go nuts and embrace the weirdness of comic books and their eternally shapeshifting storylines." The trailer generated 164 thousand conversations across social media platforms within a day of its release, and in three days had been viewed 44 million times, making the film one of Sony's most viral, alongside Sausage Party (2016).
Sony released a second trailer for the film in October 2018, ahead of a promotional panel at New York Comic Con where the first 35 minutes of the film were shown. Lord and Miller explained that they chose not to show clips from throughout the film because they would lack context for the audience, so instead aired an extended sequence for the presentation, even though it had some unfinished animation and music. At the time, Sony's film Venom was playing in theaters, featuring another extended clip from Into the Spider-Verse as a post-credits scene. The scene confirmed that the shared universe that Venom is part of is one of the universes connected within the "Spider-Verse" multiverse.
In November 2018, Sony launched Spider-Verse Web AR Experience, a mobile augmented reality experience created by 8th Wall and Trigger to run on Amazon Web Services. Inspired by the film, the AR experience allows users to include Spider-Man in photos they take of their environment. The film also received a $115 million promotional "boost" from various companies—one of the largest such campaigns for a Sony film—including the Ad Council, who included the film's characters in an anti-bullying campaign; McDonald's, with a unique Happy Meal TV spot created in the film's animation style, as well as a special "double height" Happy Meal box for Australian McDonald's locations, designed like a skyscraper that the characters can swing from; Synchrony Bank, as part of their "Save Like a Hero" campaign; Nike, who sold the Air Jordan shoes that Morales wears in the film; General Mills cereal; official toy lines from Hasbro; themed cruises with Genting Cruise Lines; a "comprehensive" social media-based campaign in China by Tencent QQ, a brand that can be seen in the film; and other technology partners eBay, Vodafone, Garmin, Adobe, and Wacom.
On December 21, 2018, an unlockable costume based on the Spider-Man suit worn by the Peter Parker of Miles' universe was added to the PlayStation 4 video game Marvel's Spider-Man to promote the film.

During a special lecture at Takarazuka University, anime director Yoshiyuki Tomino commented on the film's Best Animated Feature win at the Academy Awards:
"At first glance, it looks like a live-action film, and it's very experimental in various places. For American filmgoers, it may be their first time watching an animated film that isn't expressly for kids. I won't appraise the film's quality, but on a technical level, I can see how much hard work the staff put into it." He also expressed a belief that the anime industry should strive to surpass Into the Spider-Verse and other high-profile American animated features.{{Cite news |date=April 25, 2022 |title=Gundam Creator Yoshiyuki Tomino Expresses Thoughts on Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse Film |url=https://www.animenewsnetwork.com/interest/2019-05-06/gundam-creator-yoshiyuki-tomino-expresses-thoughts-on-spider-man-into-the-spider-verse-film/.146439 |quote= the paradigm-busting "Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse." |access-date=May 6, 2019 |newspaper=Anime News Network }}

Following the "incredible buzz" of Into the Spider-Verse, Sony led to the development on a sequel. Its story was split into two films to address the follow-up's excessive length. Into the Spider-Verse was followed by Across the Spider-Verse, released on June 2, 2023. The film surpassed the box-office take of Into the Spider-Verse, and received similar acclaim from critics and audiences. The third film, Spider-Man: Beyond the Spider-Verse, is scheduled to be released on June 4, 2027.
=Spin-offs=
In 2018, Sony announced a spin-off animated film based on the Spider-Women comics, focusing on three generations of female Spider-related characters, including Spider-Gwen, Jessica Drew / Spider-Woman, and Cindy Moon / Silk. Bek Smith is attached as a screenwriter and Lauren Montgomery was in talks to direct. Lord and Miller were confirmed to be producing the film in April 2021, when the project was undergoing rewrites. Pascal and Arad reaffirmed that the film was in development in May 2023, when Arad said it would be made sooner than expected, while Steinfeld expressed interest in the film.
John Mulaney expressed interest in a potential spin-off film starring Spider-Ham, suggesting its plot as a "Watergate-like story" along the lines of The Post or All the President's Men while focusing on his character's career as a reporter.{{cite web |date= December 18, 2018 |last= Donnelly |first= Matt |title= John Mulaney's Pitch for 'Spider-Ham' Film: Spotlight… but Family Friendly' |work= Variety |url=https://variety.com/2018/film/news/spiderham-spiderman-john-mulaney-1203092130/ |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190116095934/https://variety.com/2018/film/news/spiderham-spiderman-john-mulaney-1203092130/|archive-date=January 16, 2019 |url-status = live |access-date= April 10, 2020 }}
