Serving as the sequel to 2018’s Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse, the latest animated film continues the story of Miles Morales, the half-Black, half-Latino teenager who’s trying to serve his city as the famous web-slinger.
Metro Boomin was originally tapped for the soundtrack back in December, which features appearances from Future, Lil Uzi Vert, J.I.D, Nas, Lil Wayne, A$AP Rocky, 21 Savage, Offset, 2 Chainz, Swae Lee, A Boogie Wit Da Hoodie, Nav, Don Toliver, Coi Leray, Wizkid, James Blake and more.
All eyes will be on the Boominati boss to see if the project can match the hype of its predecessor. The first Spider-Verse soundtrack spawned the blockbuster single “Sunflower” by Post Malone and Swae Lee, which was certified diamond in 2021 and became the joint highest-certified single in RIAA history last November.
As for Metro’s previous effort, Heroes & Villains debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 with 185,000 album-equivalent units in its first week. Metro fended off competition from Taylor Swift’s Midnights for the top spot, out-selling the pop juggernaut by over 40,000 units.
