Johnson Wants To Return For “Spider-Verse 2”

We know work is underway on a sequel to Oscar-winning animated feature “Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse,” but nothing much else is known beyond that.

The key relationship in the film is between Jake Johnson’s out of shape Peter B. Parker and Shameik Moore’s young Miles Morales and the film ended with him returning to his own world to finally make things right with Mary Jane following a separation.

Johnson himself did a video interview with Get Fandom this week and reveals that it sounds like he hasn’t been asked about a possible return as yet. Johnson says:

“I would really hope so. I really loved playing Peter B. Parker. I literally recorded that movie for, I think it was over two years. People don’t realize, most of with animation you do two or three records and it’s over. I lived with that character before anyone knew it was happening for so long. I loved the material. I got to record with Shameik (Moore) a lot who played Miles, and we got to bounce off each other. Shameik and I became buddies and we’re still texting and in touch.

I would love to see Peter, what happens to him. I would love to see, did he and MJ get back together? Did he become a dad? Is he still a superhero? Is he a dad and a superhero? But these are all as a fan now, because in terms of the inside I’m not at that table making decisions, but I would love Peter to come back.”

“Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse” sequel is currently set to be released on October 7th 2022.
