2022 is going to be a long wait for Spider-Man fans. It was announced by Marvel and Sony that 2018’s animated movie Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse is going to be getting a sequel. The sequel will be out in theaters on April 8th, 2022. It looks like Miles Morales and Peter B. Parker are going to be meeting some new Spider-Men versions. In a old post I wrote, movie co-producer and writer Phil Lord commented on Twitter that if Spider-Verse makes a lot of money and break records reaching $200 million, he would consider adding the Japanese live action Tokusatsu version Spider-man or also known as Supaidāman.
Tokusatsu Spider-Man synopsis:
1978 Spider-Man tokusatsu series is well known inside and outside the genre, both as a curiosity and as a sign of just how widely popular the Marvel hero is. This iteration of Spidey is a biker named Takuya Yamashiro, who gains his powers after a blood transfusion from the last warrior of Planet Spider. As Spider-Man he can perform all the heroic feats we’re used to, plus transform the ship Marveller into the giant robot Leopardon.

Now this is definitely quite welcome news. The Japanese Spider-Man show always looked like a lot of fun
The Japanese Spider-Man does look pretty interesting and it will be nice to see it get attention. I wonder how will he play in the sequel.
