No story details about Into the Spider-Verse 2 have been revealed yet but two Into the Spider-Verse producers, Christopher Miller and Phil Lord, both appear to be returning for the sequel. It hasn’t been confirmed if Into the Spider-Verse’s three directors, Peter Ramsey, Bob Persichetti, and Rodney Rothman, are all coming back to direct the upcoming animated Spider-Man flick.
The first Into the Spider-Verse movie was about different Spider-Man heroes from different dimensions coming together to fight the iconic Spider-Man villain, Kingpin.
