Sony Releases New ‘Spider-Verse’ Short Film, ‘The Spider Within’


In a move that was wildly surprising to me (admittedly, much of my free time has been eaten up by hours and hours of Final Fantasy 7: Rebirth the past few days), Sony just released a short film featuring Miles Morales, titled The Spider Within: A Spider-Verse Story. The short, directed by Jarelle Dampier, was originally screened at the 2023 Annecy International Animation Film Festival and is available to the general public for the very first time.

Although brief at just over seven minutes, the film does an excellent job showing the chaos Miles regularly contends with as his universe’s solo Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man along with the accompanying psychological toll it takes on him.

Like all things Spider-Verse, The Spider Within is visually arresting with surprising depth. It also has me climbing the walls for Beyond the Spider-Verse … whenever that finally gets here.
