Though Miles has been a fan favorite in the comics since 2011, Spider-Verse marks his first time on the big screen. And becomes even more of one once we meet Miles Morales (voiced by Shameik Moore). When that montage ends with Peter telling us "there's only one Spider-Man," it plays like another joke, because we've seen so many Peters over so many years. Spider-Verse has a distinct feel unlike any other Spider-Man movie before. This movie isn't afraid of a laugh at its own expense, though the knowing humor is more affectionate than biting. A voiceover "yada yadas" the basics of Peter Parker's origin story, while winking at almost every iteration of it even the much-maligned Spider-Man 3 gets a rueful shoutout. Right off the bat, Spider-Verse acknowledges that it's probably the 700th Spider-Man story you've seen in the past few years.
