Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse is very nearly here, and the first clip has just been released from the sequel.
In that, we see a familiar scene from the movie's trailers in which Miles Morales' poor performance in his Spanish lessons is revealed to his mom and dad. Needless to say, they're not happy with their son flunking such an important subject, but little do they know he's Brooklyn's wall-crawling superhero!
During a recent interview with SFX, co-director Kemp Powers addressed that MCU Easter Egg in the sneak peeks which sees Spider-Man 2099 mention "Doctor Strange and that little nerd on Earth 199999."
"The world of Miles Morales and Spider-Verse, it's not tied into the Marvel Cinematic Universe or anything like that," he explained. "But this is a Lord and Miller film. We like to have a little bit of fun, we like to be a little bit meta and to acknowledge the world in which we are creating these stories. This isn't something where we did anything in conjunction with Marvel."

Miles Morales returns for the next chapter of the Oscar-winning Spider-Verse saga, Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse.

But when the heroes clash on how to handle a new threat, Miles finds himself pitted against the other Spiders and must redefine what it means to be a hero so he can save the people he loves most.
