One quick shot in a trailer, and Spider-Verse fans are already rethinking who the real villain is. At CinemaCon earlier this year, attendees saw the first trailer for Spider-Man: Beyond the Spider-Verse. Most of the buzz focused on the big moments. But one frame placed Miles G. Morales, the Prowler, standing alongside a group of heroes and villains as a supercollider appears to activate.
Everyone in the scene looks stunned, which suggests a threat big enough to unite old enemies. Keep in mind this reading comes from fans and writers analysing the footage, not from an official announcement.
Who Is in the Frame in Spider-Verse 3?
| Character | Why They Matter |
|---|---|
| Miles G. Morales (Prowler) | Miles’ variant, who captured him at the end of Across the Spider-Verse |
| Kingpin | Started the franchise by searching the multiverse for his family |
| Spider-Man in a gi | A martial-arts-styled variant |
| Spider-Punk lookalike | Anti-establishment, but unwilling to let reality collapse |
| Spider-Man India | Bonded quickly with Miles in the last film |
From Captor to Ally?
In Across the Spider-Verse, Prowler wasted no time tying Miles up and demanding answers. The new trailer teases a very different dynamic: an extended fight in which Miles breaks free of his chains, followed by what looks like some kind of understanding.
That fits the character’s history. Prowler’s father died instead of his uncle, a loss that pushed him toward a darker path. Making mistakes doesn’t make him beyond saving.

The Real Threat: Spot
According to the analysis, the true antagonist may be Spot, not Prowler. Dr. Johnathon Ohnn gained spot-based powers when the collider exploded in Into the Spider-Verse. By the end of Across the Spider-Verse, he’d become unbelievably powerful and set out to get revenge on those who wronged him, including Miles’ father, Jefferson Davis.
That could be the emotional hinge of the story. If Spot threatens Jefferson, both Mileses have a reason to fight on the same side.
Why It Matters?
If the theory holds, Beyond the Spider-Verse may bring together a huge cast of Spider-People, plus former enemies, against a villain willing to destroy reality to be taken seriously. It also fits the series’ central theme: even someone who has made serious mistakes can learn and change.
A release date hasn’t been confirmed yet, so for now it’s trailer-watching and theory-crafting.
Conclusion
Prowler may start the film as an obstacle, but the signs suggest he could end it as an ally. If Spot is the real danger, uniting both Mileses may be the key to saving the multiverse.
