Ending Explained

In Spider-Man Across the Spider-Verse, directed by Joaquim Dos Santos, Kemp Powers, and Justin K. Thompson, the film ends on a dramatic cliffhanger that sets up the next installment. Miles Morales discovers he has been transported to the wrong universe—Earth-42—where there is no Spider-Man, and instead, his counterpart has become the Prowler. Trapped and confronted by this alternate version of himself, Miles is left in a perilous situation, unable to return home or warn his friends. Meanwhile, Gwen Stacy, having reconciled with her father and gathered a team of Spider-heroes, sets out to rescue Miles. The central conflict—Miles’s struggle to defy the Spider-Society’s rules and save his father—remains unresolved, as Miguel O’Hara (Spider-Man 2099) and his team pursue Miles, believing his actions could endanger the multiverse. The film closes with Miles’s fate uncertain, Gwen’s rescue mission underway, and the multiverse in jeopardy, leaving the characters’ destinies and the central conflict’s resolution for the sequel.
