According to common parlance, even in the face of continually enviable box office takings, Hollywood’s superhero boom is super over. The fatigue is real. DC lack coherency, Marvel have lost their creative spirit. While the reality of such a judgement remains up for debate in the sphere of live action super cinema, the argument holds no sway at Sony. Herein lies the revolution. A sequel to 2018’s wildly successful, entirely groundbreaking, Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse, 2023’s Across the Spider-Verse serves up the apex of blockbusting coherency and creative vigour.
