Caution! This Article Contains Spoilers For Spider-Man: Across The Spider-Verse Film. The long-awaited sequel to the 2018 film Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse was finally released this year, breaking multiple records and becoming one of the most successful animated movies ever. The film debuted on June 2nd, 2023, and had a highly successful opening.

Spider-Man: Across The Spider-Verse delighted fans by exploring the multiverse even further, introducing a wide range of Spider-Man variations from live-action films, video games, and other movies. It has now surpassed $650 million in global box office revenue, solidifying its status as one of the highest-grossing animated films of all time.

Considering that it has been more than two months since the movie's release in theaters, there is significant anticipation among many to watch it on digital platforms. Finally, the movie is now available for streaming. However, the question arises: where can one stream the movie from the comfort of their own home? Additionally, is the movie also available in physical format yet?

What Is Spider-Man: Across The Spider-Verse About

In the sequel to Spider-Man: Into The Spider-Verse, titled Spider-Man: Across The Spider-Verse, the spider multiverse is explored even further. The original Spider cast is reunited, joined by newer Spider-Men variants. The story takes place over a year after the events of the first film, focusing on Gwen Stacy and Miles Morales as they enter the Spider-Society. This society consists of various Spider-Men, with Spider-Man 2099, Miguel O'Hara, leading the group. Their mission is to prevent any attempts or threats that could disrupt the multiverse.

The film centers around a version of Spider-Man called The Spot, who was originally a scientist involved in Kingpin's collider project. During his work, Dr. Jonathan becomes trapped and gains unique powers, allowing him to open portals between dimensions and create smaller-scale portals. Assuming the persona of The Spot, Dr. Jonathan's sole purpose is to seek revenge on Miles Morales by killing his father, as he blames Miles for his own downfall. However, Spider-Man 2099, also known as Miguel O'Hara, prevents Miles from rescuing his father, believing it to be a significant event that every Spider-Man must endure - interfering would disrupt the multiverse.

After eventually eluding the Spider-Society, Miles finds himself in a completely different universe where there is no Spider-Man, and his uncle Aaron is still alive while his father has passed away. The film concludes with a tantalizing twist, as Miles comes face to face with an alternate version of himself who has become the villainous Prowler.

Where To Watch Spider-Man: Across The Spider-Verse

Starting on August 8th, Spider-Man: Across The Spider-Verse can now be rented from various digital platforms for home viewing. You can rent the movie for $19.99 on platforms like Apple TV, Amazon Prime, Google Play, Microsoft, YouTube, and Vudu. If you prefer owning a physical copy of the movie in 4K, Blu-ray, or DVD formats, you'll have to wait until September 5th, 2023 when it will be released digitally.

The wait for the physical release will be worth it, as it will not only include the main movie but also an additional 90 minutes of content, including bonus features, deleted scenes, and filmmaker commentary. Moreover, the movie is expected to be available on Netflix in the coming months, possibly as early as October. This anticipation is based on Sony's agreement with Netflix to bring all their movies to the platform during the Pay 1 window. During this time, which typically lasts around 9 months, Spider-Man: Across The Spider-Verse will only be accessible on Netflix.
