《蜘蛛侠:平行宇宙》 Bustling with energy, humor and action, this animation is the Spider-Man film you’ve been waiting for. Marvel and Sony have borrowed from the comics to introduce a fresh origin story that both references the past and swings into a new multicultural future. This time, a large array of new Spider-clan figures have been thrown into the mix, all of them with a too-cool-for-school attitude and a host of different realms and challenges with which to fight. At the center of things is spindly Miles Morales (Shameik Moore), a mixed-race 13-year-old who first appeared in the comics in 2011 and whose initial tremors of puberty* produce certain physical changes. At home on the streets of Brooklyn, Miles loves music, affects a certain attitude and is never at a loss for something to say. He hangs with his cool heavily-muscled uncle Aaron (Mahershala Ali). Taken by Aaron to a mysterious* lair* in the subway system, Miles is bitten by a glowing radioactive* spider, turns green overnight and finds that he sticks to everything he touches, developments he initially attributes to a decisive blast of grown-up hormones*. But upon meeting “Spider-Man,” aka Peter Parker (Jake Johnson), Miles is hit with the news that he, too, is Spider-Man. “How can there be two Spider-Men?” the stunned teen asks, setting the stage for a narrative that in short order* provokes many more questions than that. Along with the new Spider-Man, there is tough babe Gwen Stacy/Spider-Gwen (Hailee Steinfeld) and Spider-Man Noir (Nicolas Cage), Spider-Ham (John Mulaney) — who’s so old-fashioned that he appears only in black-and-white — and Peni Parker (Kimiko Glenn), arrived from some future realm. With so many superheroes on the side of good, a large villain is required and one materializes in the form of Kingpin (Liev Schreiber). Kingpin’s power derives* from his having devised a nuclear collider that allows access to alternative universes, which in the event allows the film to zip in and out of all manner of zones.
