One of my most anticipated movies of 2018 is the computer-animated superhero filmSpider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse. Written byPhil Lordand helmed byPeter Ramsey(Rise of the Guardians),Bob Perischetti(writer ofThe Little Prince), andRodney Rothman(writer of22 Jump Street), the movie takes place in a world where more than one person can wear the mask of Spider-Man and we’re in for some awesome surprises. In addition, the visuals look like nothing that has been done before and it’s like we’ve entered the pages of a comic book.
The film starsShameik Mooreas the voice of Miles Morales,Jake Johnsonas Peter Parker,Mahershala Alias Aaron Davis,Brian Tyree Henryas Jefferson Davis,Liev Schreiberas Kingpin,Hailee Steinfeldas Spider-Gwen,Luna Lauren-Valezas Miles’ mother Rio, andLily Tomlinas Aunt May.
While at this year’s Comic-Con, I got to sit down with Jake Johnson and Shameik Moore for an exclusive interview at the Collider studio. They talked about the look of the film, how the movie is an introduction to Miles Morales, how the studio will give you a list of talking points and Johnson only looks at the “don’t” part of the list, and a lot more.
Finally, towards the end of the interview, they played “Ice Breakers”. If you haven’t yet seen it, it’s a fun game that includes questions like which TV show you would want to play a guest spot on, favorite sci-fi/fantasy movie, which film scared you as a kid, what you collect, if you own any movie/TV show props, what’s your phone background photo, and more.
Check out what they had to say in the player above and below is exactly what we talked about, the official synopsis, links and images.
