Marvel Legends Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse wave 

)

Hasbro is set to drop a huge wave of Marvel Legends figures inspired by the Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse and Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse series of animated films. The wave will include Miles Morales Spider-Man, Spider-Man 2099, Peter Parker, Spider-Man India, Spider-Gwen, Spider-Punk, and Miles Morales Prowler. All of the figures will come with alternate heads and alternate hands along with the occasional character-specific accessory – like Spider-Punk's guitar. 

Hasbro's Dan Yun has revealed that the figures will be available for pre-order this Thursday, August 8th. Expect them to go live starting at 10am PT / 1pm ET on 8/8 here at Entertainment Earth (free U.S. shipping on orders $59+) priced at $24.99 each. Note that Entertainment Earth is currently running a promotion that offers $20 off a future order with purchases over $100. With that in mind, you might want to pick up the Marvel Legends Green Goblin helmet and pumpkin bomb replicas that were released last week. 

What Is Beyond the Spider-Verse About?

Beyond the Spider-Verse is expected to deal with the fallout of the cliffhanger ending of Across the Spider-Verse, with Miles Morales (Shameik Moore) stuck on an alternate universe with a more villainous version of himself (Jharrel Jerome).

"Here's what I can promise, and I said it about the second one when we were in the middle of it: Phil Lord, Chris Miller, everybody, the producers on this, the directors they're going to bring in ... What they did on the first one is all the directors became executive producers. So they just keep adding to it. What I can promise is they are not going to stop until it's excellent," Peter B. Parker actor Jake Johnson confirmed to ComicBook.com. "And if that means it takes a little bit longer, if that means it's even bigger, if that means it's longer -- they don't play by anybody's rules. They work really hard. As actors in it, we're always shocked that we get called in to record on this last one. I think it was a month before it screened, where we could not believe we were still recording. So they're not going to quit until it's great and I have nothing but faith in them. But in terms of giving anything away [about the story], can't do it."

Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse is available to own and stream now. Its sequel, Spider-Man: Beyond the Spider-Verse, is currently between release dates. 

When Will Miles Morales Appear in Live-Action? 

The topic of Miles Morales making his live-action debut has been talked about at length in recent years, with the cast and crew of Sony's Spider-Man Universe advocating for the character to appear in that context. Spider-Verse producer Amy Pascal has been repeatedly vocal about the possibility, indicating that it would not happen until the conclusion of the current animated Spider-Verse trilogy.

"Someday," Pascal explained earlier this year. "Not until we make two more movies. Someday. Someday. We're very happy doing [the animated Spider-Verse movies]."
