| ‘Spider-Man: Into The Spider-Verse’ Blu-ray and Digital Release Dates Revealed; See Spider-Man Short Preview
Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse brought in a variety of animation styles into one film. The traditional CG animation, a purely black and white noir character, and an anime character. But if there was one that truly brought some personality to the film, it’s the wacky Looney Tunes take on the webslinger called Spider-Ham. And he’s exactly as you would picture him: a bipedal pig with the same powers as Spider-Man, with all of his action reminiscent of Looney Tunes. Now with the film arriving on home video, we are getting a sneak preview of the bonus features that will be available on the Blu-ray, 4K, and digital releases. Check out what kind of bonus features you will be able to see, plus preview videos for the “Caught In A Ham” special animated short and “Embracing Imperfection” below.

| ‘Spider-Man: Far From Home’ Trailer: I Think Nick Fury Just Hijacked My Summer Vacation
“What I did for summer vacation” reports are usually generic recaps of what kids did during their time off. So why not take that concept and make a superhero blockbuster. That’s what Marvel Studios is doing for Spider-Man: Far From Home, the follow-up to Spider-Man: Homecoming, Avengers: Infinity War, and Avengers: Endgame, which Marvel released a teaser trailer for today. Tom Holland returns to play Peter Parker, otherwise known as your friendly neighborhood Spider-Man. Except, he’s not going to be swinging around Queens. He will be going crossing the Atlantic where he will be facing off against elemental villains with the help of Nick Fury (Samuel L. Jackson) and a new ally named Mysterio (Jake Gyllenhaal). Check out the trailer along with a poster below.

| You Can Now Read The ‘Spider-Man: Into The Spider-Verse’ Script In Its Entirety
Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse is ending up on many critics’ top ten lists for their favorites of the year – including my own. The film dazzles the screen with moving comic panels and comes alive with pop-up action blurbs. It’s unlike any other film you’ve seen before. It only gets better with a new web spin on the classic webhead. We don’t have to hear another retelling of Peter Parker’s story. Instead, Miles Morales swings in as the lead, breathing new life into the Spider-Man lore. And now, you can read the script, written by co-producer Phil Lord and co-director Rodney Rothman, for yourself. It’s full of self-deprecating humor, hilarious gags, heartfelt moments, and heart-stopping action. Check it out below.

| Joy To The World, ‘Spider-Man: Into The Spider-Verse’ Christmas Album Released
Spider-Man: Into The Spider-Verse included a joke about how the title character’s enormous popularity expanded to cereals, a decent Popsicle, and of course, a Christmas album. Those who stuck around for the end credits got to hear a sample of one Webslinger (Chris Pine) from one universe sing “Spidey-Bells,” which is a play on the popular Christmas song “Jingle Bells.” But that song wasn’t included in the soundtrack or released digitally, as it would have conflicted with the themes of the actual score. But for those who were hoping to be able to get the Christmas songs, Sony Pictures Animation has heard your prayers. A Christmas EP has been released digitally and is available now. Listen to a few of the tracks that will appear on A Very Spidey Christmas Album here below.
