Moore combines the tense teenage aspect of the character with that of a headstrong hero who isn’t afraid to go it alone.
He’s grown used to being Spider-Man and there is a certain authority in Moore’s performance, although this is belied by the frustration he feels at his parents.

Miles took over the role of Spider-Man in the first movie after his reality’s Peter Parker died.
Miles Morales is the heart and soul of this movie, so it’s only right for Moore to receive a moment’s appreciation here. But here are three voice-acting performances that stand out above the rest. The film has become an immediate critical and commercial success, landing a 96% Rotten Tomatoes score, with the site’s critical consensus reading: “Just as visually dazzling and action-packed as its predecessor, ‘ Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse’ thrills from start to cliffhanger conclusion.” Every person involved in the film helped to produce an excellent picture and the cast is all excellent.
