Spider-Man Across the Spider-verse UK release date and age rating certificate

If No Way Home didn’t quite quench your appetite, Miles Morales will be taking up the mantle with the Spider-Man Across the Spider-verse UK release date scheduled for 2023 (full details below). It’ll be another mind-warping adventure, so here’s everything you need to know about the film, including the story, cast and age rating to get things swinging into action.

If you missed Spider-Man Into the Spider-verse, then you might want to catch it before the sequel comes out, because the series is building up to be at least a trilogy. This time around, Miles is coaxed out of being grounded by the appearance of Gwen Stacey from another dimension, who is dressed and ready to go as Spider-Woman.

This leads to more multi-verse travels for the duo as they team up with a number of other Spider-Peeps to take down yet another turbo-powered villain. If you’ve seen the trailer then you may well have seen Miles battling a bulkier Spider-Man from another dimension, but we’re pretty sure this isn’t the main villain. It looks more like something similar to the fight with Doctor Strange in the Mirror Dimension in No Way Home, so it’s going to be interesting to see who the main bad guy is going to be.

Cast

The Spider-Man Across the Spider-verse Part 1 cast is led by Shameik Moore (Dope) as Miles Morales and Hailee Steinfeld (Hawkeye) as Gwen / Spider-Woman. Oscar Isaac (Moon Knight) continues his efforts to be in every single movie or TV show ever as Spider-Man 2099, who was introduced in the credits scene at the end of Into the Spider-verse. They’ll also be joined by Jake Johnson (Jurassic World) who continues his role as the older and less together Peter B. Parker.

There are bound to be a lot more characters revealed in the build up to the release date, so we’ll update you with more details as they’re confirmed.

Spider-Man Across the Spider-verse Part 1 UK release date

Spider-Man Across the Spider-verse Part 1 has recently been given a UK release date of Thursday June 1st, 2023, which is a push back on its initial slate of October 2022. It’s due to come out on the same date in North America, so hopefully there won’t be any spoilers to avoid about how it all strings together and sets things up for Part 2.

The release date is just around the corner, so you might want to avoid social media just in case. There aren’t any other big films due out on the same date, which puts it in a good place to land the number one spot in the UK. However, it will be coming out during a busy time for cinemas so there’s some big competition for Across the Spider-verse later in June with Transformers Rise of the Beasts being the main contender to knock Spider-Man off the top spot.

The good news continues for the Sony Pictures film with the June ’23 release meaning that it should then come out on DVD, Blu-ray and digital around September or October next year. This would make it a good post summer holiday Spidey fix for home media.

Age rating certificate

The British Board of Film Classification (BBFC) has officially announced the age rating for Spider-Man Across the Spider-verse Part 1 as a PG in the UK now that the release date is close. It had already picked up PG certificate in the US earlier, which was a good indicator for the UK. It was a similar story with the first film and looking at the teaser trailer for the sequel there was nothing significant to indicate that it might get anything different.

In terms of parents guide notes, you can definitely expect some animated comic book superhero violence that will be similar in style and content to the first film. It’s a similar story for threat – although (spoiler alert) the first film featured at least one major death scene, so you might want to take that into account.

There isn’t much in the way of rude humor, which was something to take into account for the first film. However, there is a little injury detail again, but this will obviously be presented in the cartoon style, as with the rest of the film.

We’ll update you with more details on the film classification as they get confirmed. You can also check out our movie news section to keep tabs on the latest upcoming films, or visit the Sony Pictures website at https://www.sonypictures.com/.

Runtime

As with the age rating, the Spider-Man Across the Spider-verse Part 1 runtime was announced close to the release date and it’s 2 hours and 20 minutes long. The first film was 1 hour and 57 minutes, so the sequel clearly takes things up a notch in terms of length.

Spider-Man Across the Spider-verse trailer

There’s a lot going on in the Spider-Man Across the Spider-verse trailer, not least of all the comic book version of the Columbia lady at the start. If you thought there were a lot of Spider-Man versions in the first film, the sequel dials things up to 11 and they’re not all friendly.

We also know that Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 is due to release in 2023 as well, so it would be very cool if they put them both out around the same time. The fact that there’s a PlayStation thing in the trailer is a good hint that it might just come to pass.

The Christmas 2022 release of God of War Ragnarok worked out very well for Sony, so that probably makes more sense, but we’ll love to play it early. Both have Miles Morales in them as core characters, so there’s definitely enough to leave a little hope for them both to arrive around the same date.
