Spider-Man Across the Spider-Verse Interview: Hailee Steinfeld & Shameik Moore
323In the follow-up to the Oscar-winning Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse, Shameik Moore and Hailee Steinfeld reprise their roles as Miles Morales and Gwen Stacy in Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse. On a project as massive as this one, the Spider-Verse saga continues under the direction of another trio, directors Joaquim Dos Santos, Kemp Powers, and Justin K. Thompson, and boasts another insanely talented cast of voice actors, this time including Academy Award-winner Daniel Kaluuya as “Hobie” Brown, Issa Rae as Jessica Drew, and Andy Samberg. Before swinging into theaters on June 2, Moore and Steinfeld sit down with Collider’s Steve Weintraub to discuss their return to the Spider-Verse and how their characters’ relationship has “evolved.”
Now that Miles has officially taken on the responsibility of Spider-Man, he and Gwen reunite and journey through the Multiverse to join forces with the Spider Society. In a tangled web of superpowered Spider-People, Miles and the other Spiders find themselves facing a shared foe, but with so many powers and so many different perspectives, it’s nearly impossible to find common ground. With the safety of his loved ones resting, once again, in Miles’ hands, it all comes down to one thing, according to Moore: “figuring out how you wanna wear that mask.” Across the Spider-Verse also features Oscar Isaac, Jake Johnson, Brian Tyree Henry, and Luna Lauren Valez.
In their interview, Steinfeld and Moore share what they learned while working on the sequel, from conquering voice acting obstacles to the importance of confidence and self-validation. Steinfeld weighs in on who would win in a fight, Hawkeye’s Kate Bishop or Gwen Stacy, and they tease new “hurdles” and “challenges” ahead for the Spider-duo. Weintraub also sneaks some theories for Spider-Man: Beyond the Spider-Verse that Moore coyly urges us to “advocate” for.
