From the initial trailer, showcasing an exhilarating battle between Miles' Spider-Man and Miguel O'Hara, to subsequent teasers that further heightened anticipation, fans can expect Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse, to deliver the same electrifying and heart-pounding experience they fell in love with, if not surpass it entirely.

Adding to the excitement is the presence of The Spot, the film's villain, whose unsettling imagery is bound to send shivers down viewers' spines. The seamless blend of intense action and chilling villainy promises a thrilling experience that will captivate audiences of all ages.

Recently, Sony Pictures Animation revealed that Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse has officially received a "PG" rating from the Motion Picture Association of America (MPAA). This rating indicates that the film contains sequences of animated action violence, inappropriate language, and other thematic elements that call for parental guidance.

The rating is almost identical to its predecessor, Into the Spider-Verse, with the only difference being the language description. While the original film was rated for "mild" language, the sequel is now rated for "some" language. The implications of this change remain uncertain, leaving audiences curious about the potential impact on the level of profanity featured in the film.

Although it's unlikely that the sequel will include strong profanity, it will be interesting to see if the shift from "mild" to "some" inappropriate language has any discernible effect on the dialogue. The original film included minimal instances of mild language, such as Miles uttering "crap" once, Wilson Fisk saying "hell" in one instance, and even Aunt May exclaiming "damn."

Considering the edgier nature of Miguel O'Hara, and the Spider-Man 2099, it wouldn't be surprising if his character occasionally employed words such as "damn" or "hell." This differentiation would emphasize his stark contrast from other Spider characters, especially considering that his comic book counterpart is unafraid to take lives.

Mark your calendars for June 2, 2023, as Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse swings into theaters with its official "PG" rating. Brace yourself for an unforgettable adventure that transcends dimensions, filled with frenetic action, stunning animation, and the continuation of the beloved Spider-Verse saga.
