Miles is back — and he’s got a second sequel on the way.

The follow-up to the beloved animated comedy never achieves the heights of the original.

A few weeks ago, I got to see a preview of some footage from Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse. I wasn’t allowed to write about it at the time, but you can see some of what I saw in this terrific trailer that’s now available.

Getting fired from the Han Solo spinoff wasn’t the first time Phil Lord and Chris Miller experienced creative heartbreak. Over the weekend, the filmmaking duo appeared at the Vulture Festival for a panel dedicated to their tragically short-lived series Clone High. During the Q&A, talk inevitably turned to Lord and Miller’s other, more recent career hiccup, with the pair finally — and gracefully — breaking their silence on the departure from the Star Wars universe.
