‘Spider-Man: Into The Spider-Verse’ Star Reveals Spider-Ham Film Pitch

Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse star John Mulaney revealed his Spider-Ham spin-off film pitch in a recent interview.

With the positive reception of Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse, Sony has already put a sequel and an all-female spin-off in development. Spider-Verse introduces a plethora of characters in its 117 minute runtime, including Spider-Man Noir, Peni Parker, and Spider-Ham. Mulaney, who voices Spider-Ham in the film, shared his interesting spin-off pitch for the character in a recent interview with Variety:

“[Spider-Ham] is a fun guy who is capable of great rage. To go see him back at the Daily Bugle — I could see a Watergate-like story at the Bugle where he’s both a reporter and Spider-Ham by night. Never thought that the Clark Kents and the Peter Parkers leaned enough into the day job. This would be more like ‘The Post’ or ‘All The President’s Men’ or ‘Spotlight,’ but we’d make it family friendly. Lots of bacon jokes, or, ‘that’s hamfisted.’”

Phil Lord and Christopher Miller, the creative minds behind The Lego Movie and 21 Jump Street, bring their unique talents to a fresh vision of a different Spider-Man Universe, with a groundbreaking visual style that’s the first of its kind.  Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse introduces Brooklyn teen Miles Morales, and the limitless possibilities of the Spider-Verse, where more than one can wear the mask.

Directed by Bob Persichetti, Peter Ramsey, and Rodney Rothman with a screenplay by Phil Lord, the film features the voices of Shameik Moore, Hailee Steinfeld, Mahershala Ali, Jake Johnson, Liev Schreiber, Brian Tyree Henry, Luna Lauren Velez and Lily Tomlin.
