‘Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse,’ the eagerly anticipated sequel to the groundbreaking Spider-Verse movie, is set to feature an impressively vast cast of Spider-themed characters, according to co-director Justin Thompson. Drawing from the rich tapestry of the Spider-Man multiverse, this sequel is primed to take viewers on a dizzying journey through various Spider-Realities.
Thompson candidly discussed the sheer volume of characters with Collider, stating, “The exact number? Oh boy, we kept adding, like all the way up until the very end.”
He admitted that due to the film’s recent completion, a final count hadn’t yet been done. “But I think it was about 280 the last time I looked in… But if you’re just talking about named characters, then I think there’s probably about 95,” Thompson added.
