Academy Award winner Daniel Kaluuya has joined the voice cast of Sony Pictures Animation's Spider-Man: Across the Spider-verse, a sequel to the groundbreaking Into the Spider-Verse, which also won an Oscar for Best Animated Film. Kaluuya will voice the role of Hobart “Hobie” Brown, aka Spider-Punk.
Spider-Man: Across the Spider-verse will hit theaters in the US on June 2, 2023.
Sony Pictures Animation has hired Joaquim Dos Santos (Voltron: Legendary Defender, The Legend of Korra), Oscar nominee Kemp Powers (Soul), and Justin K. Thompson (Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs) to direct the film, using a script written by Phil Lord and Chris Miller (who also return as producers along with Amy Pascal, Avi Arad, and Christina Steinberg) in collaboration with David Callaham (Shang-Chi and The Legend of the Ten Rings, Wonder Woman 1984).
It hasn't been confirmed yet, but both Shameik Moore and Oscar nominee Hailee Steinfeld are expected to return to dub Miles Morales and Gwen Stacy respectively. Most of the actors who lent their voices in the first film are also expected to return, including Jake Johnson, Brian Tyree Henry, Lily Tomlin, Luna Lauren Velez, Zoë Kravitz, John Mulaney, Oscar Isaac, and Kimiko Glenn. The voice of the villain will be, in the original, voiced by Jason Schwartzman. Daniel Kaluuya will be Spider-Punk.
