The first flick, 2018’s Academy Award-winning Into the Spider-Verse, already featured a bevy of different Spider-people (including a talking Spider-Pig voiced by John Mulaney).

It’s natural for sequels to go bigger in an attempt to be better, but that’s a much taller order when the first installment already covered something expansive as the Multiverse.
