Baby Mayday in Across the Spider-Verse

 

It is not exactly news now, as I am sure you have already heard or seen it: Baby Mayday is coming to the big screen for the first time in Sony’s Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse. We have seen snippets and glimpses of little Mayday in trailers for the movie, as well seen some officially released concept art.

 




It seems the downtrodden Peter B. Parker who mentored Miles Morales in Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse reconciled with the Mary Jane of his universe and the couple brought the little bundle of joy into the wide world. From concept art we know that this depiction of Mayday has heterochromia and red-hair. We got our first look at Mayday last year around the release of the initial full trailer with this colourful concept art:

 

 

 

In the YouTube Afterparty video following the full trailer, in conversation with Hailee Steinfeld

 Phil Lord and Chris Miller had this to say:

 

"Peter B. Parker is in a family way. Peter got back with Mary Jane and they had a baby named Mayday. She has half spider-blood. Parenting is hard enough when they don't have the ability to stick to walls."

 




With the latest trailers and tv spots we see more of the cutie Mayday, though I do not believe we know who voices her just yet. I am not sure if this adorable baby can talk, but she sure can ‘Coo!’ so someone’s providing those vocalisations. Someone is getting paid to make baby noises, I wonder who?

 


I am very excited for this movie, and not just because of Peter B. and Mary Jane’s bouncing, wall-crawling baby girl, either. The original Into the Spider-Verse film set an exceptionally high bar that I hope this first sequel can reach if not exceed.

 

Until I stop finding babies utterly adorable, which, let’s face it, is impossible, I remain
