Spider-Man Into the Spider-Verse focuses on the making of Miles Morales

Spider-Man fans need to see the animation in the upcoming Spider-Man Into the Spider-Verse movie which is coming in December 2018. Focusing on an world with multiple Spider-Men, Miles Morales is a teenager that receives similar powers as Peter Parker which varies somewhat from the comics version.

Phil Lord and Christopher Miller, the creative minds behind The Lego Movie and 21 Jump Street, bring their unique talents to a fresh vision of a different Spider-Man Universe, with a groundbreaking visual style that’s the first of its kind. Spider-Man™: Into the Spider-Verse introduces Brooklyn teen Miles Morales, and the limitless possibilities of the Spider-Verse, where more than one can wear the mask.

Sphero outs an adorable Spider-Man toy

If you’ve loved Sphero’s take on Star Wars’s BB-8, you might also fall in love with this talking Spider-Man toy, which comes out just in time for the release of Spider-Man: Homecoming next month. It’s unlike the usual Sphero toy, though. Unlike the BB-8, which moves around, it’s more of a talkative rubber toy. Kids can speak to it via voice commands—much like we would the other smart home speakers. It can guide kids through comic book storylines, which The Verge likens to camp counselor telling a story at a bonfire. But there’s a “Choose Your Own Adventure” book aspect to it as Spidey asks the kid what to do next. There are 400 pages worth of content included and 100 storylines to get through. Sphero intends to add stories in the future. You don’t have to worry about your child’s security as the toy doesn’t send information over the web or stores data in the accompanying app. It’ll just look for its wake-up phrases.

As mentioned, you can pair phones with Spider-Man over Bluetooth but it’s not essential to control the device with it. Some of the trigger phrases include asking it to “Tell me a story” or “Make me laugh.” It’s going to be a fun toy for young (and old) Spider-Man fans. It’s said to be available for US$149 starting today but a quick check of Amazon shows that it’s “Currently unavailable.”

Spidey gets techie in new ‘Spider-Man: Homecoming’ trailers

With Spider-Man back in the Marvel fold, we’re getting to see how Peter Parker’s Spidey ties into the whole Marvel Cinematic Universe story. And the two new trailers show us how they’re connected and what’s different with Spider-Man this time around.

As you can see in the trailer above, Spider-Man: Homecoming has to be the most tech-inclined Spider-Man movie to date. Tony Stark a.k.a. Iron Man takes Peter under his wing and gives him some cool tech in the process. The tech comes with strings attached, or in his case, some form of parental control. And it seems Peter is having trouble with being the “friendly, neighbourhood Spider-Man.”
