The "real Spiderman" (aka Ben Schwartz) says he does kill people in a letter to Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse (Part One) writer Christopher Miller. Sony’s 2018 animated comic book movie, Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse is no doubt partially responsible for Sony/Marvel Studios’ Spider-Man: No Way Home and its multiple compassionate Spider-Men. The Academy Award-winning film saw Miles Morales (Shameik Moore) meet a handful of alternate-universe Spider-People, including Spider-Gwen (Hailee Steinfeld), Peter B. Parker (Jake Johnson), Peni Parker (Kimiko Glenn), Spider-Man Noir (Nicolas Cage), and Peter Porker (John Mulaney).
At the end of Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse, Miles stopped Wilson Fisk/Kingpin’s (Liev Schreiber) multiverse tampering and sent his fellow webslingers back to their universes. However, just when viewers thought Miles was the one and only Spider-Man, Into the Spider-Verse’s post-credits scene set up a sequel by teasing Miguel O’ Hara/Spider-Man 2099 (Oscar Isaac). The recent teaser trailer saw Miles battle Spider-Man 2099 and travel to alternate, distinctly animated realities instead of them coming to him. Given all this, it seems more than safe to say that Across the Spider-Verse will introduce even more Spider-People.
Across the Spider-Verse writer Miller took to Twitter to share a letter from one very disgruntled Spider-Person. The shocking letter, written on (an) Aunt May’s typewriter from "the real Spiderman," expresses his anger at being confusing with a pig, and aggressively demands that Miller not make another Spider-Verse film. Suffice to say, the real Spider-Man would never leave out the hyphen in his name. Check it out below:

For context around the strange letter's sign-off, Schwartz stars in the upcoming murder mystery comedy series, The Afterparty, which was created by Miller and is set to premiere on Apple TV+ on January 28. The show follows on a group of people coming together for the high school reunion where a celebrity alumnus is killed at his grandiose mansion by someone attending the after party. Enter Tiffany Haddish’s Detective Danner, who will attempt to get to the bottom of this murder mystery à la Hercule Poirot. In addition to Schwartz and Haddish, The Afterparty stars Sam Richardson, Zoë Chao, Ike Barinholtz, Ilana Glazer, Jamie Demetriou, and Dave Franco.
As for Across the Spider-Verse (Part One), the multiversal adventure is set to release in theaters in October 2022 before Part Two in 2023. On top of Moore and Isaac, Steinfeld, and Johnson are confirmed to be reprising their roles alongside newcomer Issa Rae as Jessica Drew/Spider-Woman. Theoretically, everyone in the MCU and Sony’s Universe of Marvel Characters is a part of the Spider-Verse. Anyone could show up in Miller’s films, and the entirety of Across the Spider-Verse's cast list is being kept under wraps. There’s really no ruling out an appearance by Schwartz’s very jaded, explicit (and apparently murderous) Spider-Man.
