Swinging back into action

Currently the country's new box-office champion, Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse features a host of characters, who are all Spider-Persons from different universes. Now, the world's most famous web-slinger is swinging back into Chinese theaters with the new movie, Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse. Following an accident in the first movie, where he is bitten by a radioactive spider giving him superhuman powers, Miles Morales — a teenager living with his parents in New York — is still struggling to keep his superhero identity a secret from his family. While facing a new crossroads in life as a graduating senior who's attempting to apply for a physics major at Princeton University, Morales finds comfort in reuniting with Gwen Stacy, a young woman from a parallel universe who is also gifted with spider-administered super powers. With Stacy's help, Morales gains entry into the headquarters of a secret society where many people and creatures gather, all sharing the same experience as the duo — being bitten by a weird spider and becoming the super-powered wall crawler in their respective universes.
