The Spider Within: A Spider-Verse Story is getting a surpriseYouTuberelease – nearly a year after its film festival debut.
The Spider Within sees Miles Morales suffering a panic attack after juggling the pressures and responsibilities of being a teenage hero.
In a statement, the director described the Spider-Verse short as a “love letter” to those who “adore Miles Morales.”
“Miles represents so many of us doing the best we can in our day-to-day lives. We don’t often realize all that we’ve been through until our own body forces us to become aware of its experience,” Dampier said. “My intention is that The Spider Within can motivate deeper conversations amongst friends & family about their own mental health journeys – and I hope it feels like a love letter to those who adore Miles Morales.”
Miles is next set to appear inSpider-Man: Beyond the Spider-Verse. Originally set to be released later this month, the threequel was delayed indefinitely last year. No new date has been set, though producer Phil Lord toldDeadlinethat Beyond will round out the trilogywith a “very satisfying conclusion.”
