Director: Joaquim Dos Santos, Kemp Powers, Justin K Thompson Writers: Phil Lord, Christopher Miller, Dave Callaham Starring: Shameik Moore, Hailee Steinfeld, Oscar Isaac, Jake Johnson, Issa Rae, Brian Tyree Henry, Daniel Kaluuya Runtime: 2 hour 20 minutes Synopsis: Miles Morales catapults across the Multiverse, where he encounters a team of Spider-People charged with protecting its very existence.
