Teen Miles Morales becomes the Spider-Man of his universe and must join with five spider-powered individuals from other dimensions to stop a threat for all realities.
Miles Morales here became the first Afro-Latino incarnation of Spider-Man to headline mainstream media, carrying a Puerto Rican mother and African American father into a character who'd previously only existed on the big screen as Peter Parker.
When the Renaissance-Vulture loses a wing mid-fight, she simply pulls a fresh one out of thin air, and Spider-Man 2099 dryly calls it hammerspace. That's a cartoon-logic term, and it's also a cheeky reference to Spider-Ham's whole running gag from the first film of yanking props out of nowhere.
After the museum fight, listen closely and you'll catch a snippet of Post Malone's voice being replayed, the same audio clip that featured on the soundtrack of the first film. It's a subtle audio callback rather than a visual one, easy to miss if you're not paying attention to the sound design.
Stan Lee's cameo in this one isn't just his little shop scene. The 180-odd animators on the film were all diehard Marvel fans and every single one of them wanted a shot at drawing him, so the directors let them sneak him in wherever they could. Pause the movie any time a subway train rattles past in the background and there's a very good chance you'll spot him sat inside it. It ended up being his last ever voice role.
