With this kind of reception, it comes as no surprise that Sony Animation and the Spider-Verse producers are already developing an entire franchise. As of now, there is a direct Spider-Verse sequel being produced that will focus on Miles Morales, as well as a female-centric spinoff featuring Spider-Gwen and other women from the comics.
During the press junket for Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse, producers Phil Lord and Chris Miller told ComicBook.com's Chris Killian that they had plenty of ideas for other Spider-Man characters that they wanted to introduce in future films.
"I think there's a bunch, and I don't want to say too much because there's a wide breadth of characters that are coming out of the Spider-Man universes now, and it's really fun to be able to sort of think about plucking ones that you haven't seen before or have something interesting thematic to say," said Miller.
"I have to think about that," Lord added. "That's a good question that we haven't been asked before, which is why we're sitting here going, 'We don't have a good [answer]. We are like, 'Oh, wow. We're about to go into this big junket. We might have to have an answer for that.'"
Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse is set to arrive in theaters on December 14th.
