The movie features Shameik Moore of Netflix’s The Get Down as the voice of Miles Morales, the young African-American man who takes up the mantle of Spider-Man in Brian Michael Bendis‘ run of comics. Mahershala Ali and Brian Tyree Henry will voice Aaron and Jefferson Davis, the thieving brothers who become crucial figures in Morales’ rise to become the beloved web-slinger. Liev Schreiber will voice the main villain of the movie, which is directed by Rodney Rothman, Peter Ramsey, director of Rise of the Guardians, and Bob Perischetti, who wrote the latest adaptation of The Little Prince that Netflix released in 2016. Chris Miller and Phil Lord serve as producers, while only Lord has a screenwriting credit.

The style and design that is on display in this short tease of the animated film is vibrant and immediately engaging on a visual level, showing a genuine sense of personality to the production.
