There were a lot of great characters in Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse, but one standout was definitely Hobie Brown a.k.a. Spider-Punk. The film has been out for barely a month, and we already have some great cosplay from @whoachriswhoa.
This costume went viral on Twitter earning up to 2 million views:
I’m so happy with how many smiles this cosplay is generating 🥰🥰🥰 https://t.co/xeCGtyAuz0

While it was probably impossible to pull off the multiple filters that Hobie goes through in the film, you can see that the cosplay actually goes into great lengths to mimic the animated look, from the lines on the face to the blue highlights on the hair. If anything, I’d say the hair was probably the trickiest thing to pull off.
What’s neat is, there was also a Spider-Man India cosplayer at the con, and he managed to shoot a video with @whoachriswhoa in it:

We don’t know what’s in store for Hobie when it comes to Beyond the Spider-Verse, but we saw him teaming up with Gwen and a handful of Spider-People who weren’t onboard with how Miguel O’Hara treated Miles.
For now, the conclusion of the trilogy is expected to come out next year, but if recent reports are to be believed, it’s likely that Beyond could be pushed back further to 2025, maybe even 2026. It’s going to be a hard wait, but I’d personally prefer that to knowing that a bunch of artists were severely overworked to deliver the film on time.
Spider-Man: Beyond the Spider-Verse is slated for a release on March 29, 2024.
