Sony confirms John Mulaney is joining Into The Spider-Verse…as the Spectacular Spider-Ham

As much fun as Spider-Man: Homecoming was, Sony’s animated Spider-Man: Into The Spider-Verse is looking like a significantly wackier adventure that gleefully dives headfirst into the weirdest parts of the web-head’s comic book history. Previous trailers for the film established the movie’s alternate universe (or “spider-verse”) conceit, with the Miles Morales Spidey meeting the classic Peter Parker Spidey (Jake Johnson, who says this Peter is mostly concerned with his bad back these days), and the super cool Gwen Stacy Spidey, and we even recently learned that Nicolas Cage would be popping up as the grim and gritty Spider-Man Noir. Sadly, we didn’t get any new footage of the movie at tonight’s Comic-Con panel for the film (online, anyway), but we did get something almost as good: Confirmation that stand-up genius John Mulaney would not only be joining the movie, but playing Peter Porker himself, the Spectacular Spider-Ham.
