Jake Johnson, who played Peter Parker in Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse, has shared a unique idea to brighten the days of quarantined kids as the world goes into self-isolation in response to the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic.
With so many kids self-isolating at home with their parents, many have been watching Into the Spider-Verse as a family activity, something Johnson was made aware of thanks to messages that parents have sent his way. Wanting to try and provide some encouragement during this tumultuous time, Johnson took to Instagram to make fans an offer. "If your child is home from school and wants a quick encouraging message from Peter B Peter [sic], then send me an email with their name and I'll try and send over a short voice note."
A sequel to Into the Spider-Verse is currently in development and is planned to release on April 8, 2022. There is no official word on the cast or characters set to appear in the film. Despite numerous film projects across the industry being temporarily stalled, no announcements have been made regarding production for the animated film.
Directed by Bob Persichetti, Peter Ramsey, and Rodney Rothman, Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse stars Shameik Moore, Brian Tyree Henry, Jake Johnson, Mahershala Ali, Hailee Steinfeld, Liev Schreiber, Luna Lauren Velez, Lily Tomlin, Nicolas Cage, John Mulaney and Kimiko Glenn. The film is available on Digital HD, 4K Ultra HD, Blu-ray and DVD.
