After years of anticipation, Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse has made its way to movie theaters. The animated superhero sequel features a wide array of Spider-People from alternate realities, and an ensemble voice cast has been enlisted to bring the various web-slingers to life. Leading the cast are Shameik Moore as Miles Morales, Earth-42’s Spider-Man, alongside Hailee Steinfeld as Gwen Stacy, a Spider-Woman from another universe.
In the new film (MILD SPOILERS AHEAD), a brief scene reveals the Peter Parker from this Gwen Stacy’s universe. That incarnation of Peter is voiced by Jack Quaid (The Boys, Star Trek: Lower Decks). Taking to Twitter after the movie was release, Quaid offered some high praise to the movie while letting his followers know about his own involvement as a part of the cast, albeit briefly.
Quaid tweeted, “Saw Spider-Verse. Loved Spider-Verse. I’m *technically* IN Spider-Verse (for like a second). I can’t say enough good things about this movie. Go see it, it’s unbelievable. Congrats to the amazingly talented team behind it.”
Quaid is very well known for his main role in the superhero satire series The Boys. He also recently took part in another animated superhero project, voicing Alberto Falcone in the animated film Batman: The Long Halloween. He is also voicing Clark Kent in the upcoming animated series My Adventures with Superman, coming to Adult Swim this year. His other recent voiceover work includes Harvey Girls Forever!, Star Trek: Lower Decks, and Solar Opposites. He will appear in Christopher Nolan’s new movie Oppenheimer, coming to theaters in July.
