With production on the follow-up to the critically acclaimed animated superhero film kicking off in June, Miller gave fans an update on how things were going on Wednesday (1 July).
“The development of new groundbreaking art techniques being done for the next Spider-Verse movie are already blowing me away,” Miller tweeted.
“It’s going to make the first movie look quaint.”
Miller worked as a producer on 2018’s Into the Spider-Verse along with long-time collaborator Phil Lord, with the film going on to win the Academy Award for Best Animated Feature at the 2018 Oscars.
The animated adventure followed Brooklyn teenager Miles Morales (Shameik Moore) as he became Spider-Man, while the sequel will focus on his growing relationship with Gwen Stacy (Hailee Steinfeld), a Spider-Woman from another dimension.
Last month, lead animator Nick Kondo shared the news that production was kicking off with a 10-second animated clip which announced that the sequel would arrive in 2022, alongside the caption: “First day on the job!”
