The eagerly anticipated sequel to the Academy Award-winning animated film Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse, Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse, promises an exhilarating multiverse adventure as Miles Morales, aka Spider-Man, teams up with Gwen Stacy, aka Spider-Woman, and an exciting new team of Spider-People.
Actors Shameik Moore, Hailee Steinfeld, and Luna Lauren Velez portray Miles Morales, Gwen Stacy, and Rio Morales (Miles’ mother). They recently talked about the importance of diversity in film and made predictions about what they may discover if they stumbled across a real-life superhero multiverse in an interview with MySA.
Hailee Steinfeld claims that “Spider-Man” holds a particular place in her heart. Hailee Steinfeld compared her work on “Spider-Man” to her earlier endeavors, which included sequels and remakes with loyal fan bases. In contrast to other films she has worked on, she remarked that “Spider-Man” has a unique place in her heart and connects with a diverse worldwide audience. She praised the movie’s ability to engage viewers from different backgrounds and its message’s global appeal.
Talking about diversity in Hollywood is Luna Lauren Vélez:
Luna Lauren Vélez reflected on the significance of diversity in Hollywood and expressed her wish for more forward motion while acknowledging the progress that has been accomplished. She emphasized the importance of having a Puerto Rican woman play Spider-Man’s mother as a Puerto Rican actor since it reaches a wide audience and advances Latino representation in the field.
Luna Lauren Velez, Hailee Steinfeld, and the Multiverse:
Hailee Steinfeld pictured herself as a strong, bold version of herself, like Spider Gwen, in a light-hearted talk about the multiverse. She pictured herself in this alternative form as the embodiment of her goals and the ideal version of herself. The greatest version of Luna Lauren Vélez, one who can speak with many realms, cultures, and multiverses, has indicated a wish to be encountered.
Shameik Moore considered encountering a better version of himself, acknowledging that it might motivate and perhaps pique his competitive zeal. He imagined this parallel self-functioning on a different plane, inspiring him to strive for accomplishments.
The cast of “Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse” shared their perspectives on diversity, and the sequel promises to deliver yet another exciting and varied cinematic experience, enveloping audiences in the spider-verse’s boundless potential.
