Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse has released two new promo videos over the weekend introducing Pavitr Prabhakar, the Spider-Man of India (Karan Soni), and pregnant Spider-Woman Jessica Drew (Issa Rae) who will both star in the upcoming movie.
Prabhakar is a resident of Mumbattan in Earth-50101, first appearing in the 2004 Spider-Man: India comic book miniseries which follows a similar origin story as Peter Parker. However, instead of being bitten by a spider, he receives his powers from an ancient yogi who tasks him with the mission of saving Mumbattan. Jessica Drew, on the other hand, is celebrated on Mother’s Day as she’s seen out and about fighting villains while expecting. Drew and Spider-Gwen (Hailee Steinfield) are eventually set to team up in a spinoff movie alongside Spider-hero Silk.
Take a look at the promo videos below and look for Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse to premiere in theaters on June 2.
