Actor and comedian Andy Samberg just confirmed he has joined Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse in a mystery role.
Last June, Sony Pictures Animation announced that Jorma Taccone is officially a part of Across the Spider-Verse cast. Taccone is the voice behind the classic Spider-Man villain Adrian Toomes/Vulture.
As a member of Samberg’s The Lonely Island (comedy/music trio group), people would be pleased to hear that even Samberg himself is now a part of the cast member for the Into the Spider-Verse sequel!
The Lonely Island took this news on their Instagram with the caption: “Jorm and Andy are “in” this!!” along with the official poster of Across the Spider-Verse. Check out the Instagram story below (via CBR.com):

It is worth mentioning this is not Samberg’s first voice acting gig, as he had also previously lent his voice on animated films such as Hotel Transylvania, Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs, and more.
Amid this good news, we have yet to receive an update on what role he has been casted in. Rest assured though we’ll be finding this out sooner than you think!
The official plot synopsis of Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse follows “Miles Morales reuniting with Gwen Stacy as they once again leap through the Multiverse, where both heroes meet more teams of Spider-People.”
“However, as heroes clash with one another, Miles finds himself pitted against the other Spiders and must redefine what it means to be a hero so he can save the people he loves most.”
