Gwen quits another band and worries her father, Captain George, and Aunt May on Earth-65. She keeps her identity a secret while George searches for Spider-Woman. During her school dance, a massive lizard tore through the party. Gwen jumped into costume and killed the mutant, but sadly learned the lizard was her mutated friend, Peter Parker. As she cried over her friend, George entered with his gun drawn. He assumes Spider-Woman killed Peter, and now he tracks Spider-Woman's every move.
George gets a call over the walkie-talkie that a monster broke into the Guggenheim Museum and leaves because he thinks Spider-Woman will be there. Gwen hears the call, puts on her costume, and follows them. She traps the police in her web to keep George safe and away from her. She realizes the monster is the Vulture, but it's not of her world. Then, a portal opens, and Miguel O'Hara and Jessica Drew capture Vulture. She can tell they are from another universe and asks to join them. Jessica likes the idea, but Miguel says no. George escapes his webs and points a gun at Spider-Woman. Gwen reveals her identity to George, and he begins to read Gwen her rights. Heartbroken, Gwen begs her father to hear her out, but he won't stop. Jessica pleads with Miguel to reconsider, and they accept Gwen. Gwen walks through the portal and leaves George behind.
Miles balances Spider-Man duties with his education on Earth-1610. His parents, Jeff and Rio, wait for Miles as they sit with his guidance counselor. In another part of Brooklyn, Miles faces a new villain called The Spot, a.k.a. Dr. Jonathan Ohnn. The Spot reveals that he brought the radioactive spider into the universe that bit Miles. However, Miles causes The Spot to become a villain. During the Alchemax explosion, portals engulfed Jonathan's body, and he lost his family, friends, and career. Miles defeats him and leaves him on a rooftop for the authorities. Miles slides into his counselor's meeting and tells his parents he wants to attend Princeton. Jeff understands Miles's choice, but Rio thinks New Jersey is too far from New York. Miles Spider-sense tingles, and he abruptly leaves the meeting to recapture The Spot.
Miles arrives late for Jeff's promotion party and argues with his parents. Jeff grounds Miles for two months, and Miles retreats to his bedroom. As Miles zones out to music, Gwen opens a portal and persuades Miles to leave the house. They catch up and discuss her new adventures, but she doesn't tell Miles she is tracking The Spot. Miles follows Gwen through a portal to Earth-50101 when he discovers the truth. In that universe, Pavitr Prabhakah is Spider-Man in Mumbattan. Before battling The Spot in Pavitr's universe, they meet Hobie Brown, Spider-Punk. The Spot absorbs the powers of Pavitar's universe's Alchemax before the Spider-people can stop him. Miles gets a vision of Jeff dying during his next battle with The Spot. Then, the Spot disappears with Mumbattan glitching around them, and Miles risks his life to save a little girl and an Inspector from the collapsing universe. Gwen thinks it's time for Miles to enter the Spider-Society.
In the Spider-Society, Gwen gives Miles a bracelet to help him stop glitching. She loves having him there, but Miguel thinks it's a massive mistake because Miles caused the multiverse portals that allowed villains to escape their Earth. Dr. Strange almost did the same thing on Earth-199999. And to make matters worse, Miles stopped a Canon Event from happening when he saved the Inspector. Peter B. Parker joins them and explains that Canon Events are necessary for every Spider-Person to develop. If the event doesn't happen, their Earth will destroy itself. Miles puts the pieces together and realizes they know Jeff will die. It will be Miles's Canon Event. Miles demands to know how long until Jeff's death. Miguel informs Miles it will happen two days after Jeff's superiors swear him in as the new captain. Miles wants to save Jeff, but the Spider-People stop him. They tell him that he can't save one person and sacrifice everyone else. It's not what Spider-Man would do. Miles believes he can save Jeff and Earth-1610, but he must first break free of the Spider-Society.
This sequel is better than its predecessor and worth a visit to the theaters. Viewers get new versions of Spider-People with unique animation styles. And the Spider-People we know continue to grow in their universes. Peter B. Parker is a happily married dad and takes his daughter, Mayday, to fight crime with him. Gwen fights with the Spider-Society under Jessica's tutelage. Miles is ready to graduate and start his new life in college. Each new character, including the villains, has a rich backstory and superb wit. The writers added easter eggs from all 3 Spider-Man franchises (FTC Affiliate Disclaimer). You will laugh with pure joy and excitement throughout this film. If the animation wasn't astounding enough, this film has more drama than a telenovela. There is one mid-credit scene. And the film ends on a cliffhanger that will leave you in Infinity Wars shock. Everyone involved in this film deserves high praise.
