Now Playing: Spider-Man: Into The Spider-Verse – Official Trailer

The short film is produced by members of Sony’s LENS (Leading and Empowering New Storytellers) incubator, a mentorship program that places candidates from underrepresented backgrounds in creative leadership positions.

Candidates got to create a world within Spider-Verse–the resulting The Spider Within short–in this first round of the program and in the upcoming second round, participants will get to create a story within K-pop: Demon Hunter’s universe.

Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse launches in theaters on June 2. According to trailers released, Miles Morales will travel to universes with other Spider superheroes–the inverse of the first movie, during which they came to his world.

In a recent interview, Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse writer and producer Chris Miller said that Across the Spider-Verse is a sequel similar in style to Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back. “People who’ve seen Across… have told us that it feels like The Empire Strikes Back of the Spider-Verse franchise,” Miller said. “It shows you worlds you haven’t seen, and it’s an emotional story that ends in a place where you need to see the third one. So, yeah: This is our Empire.”
