Spiderman was spray painted over the walls of an iconic London tunnel to celebrate the lead actor and director's visit to the city.

The latest installment of the Spiderman franchise is an animated version featuring a new character, Miles Morales, stepping into the iconic costume with one major difference - he is a person of color.

Shameik Moore, who voiced Morales, talks about bringing this character to the screen.

"I'm very thankful for one, I mean, that's the only way that you can feel becoming Spiderman. Yeah, I mean, you know, making a superhero movie in general and being a part of something historic. I mean, they did an amazing job with this film".

Director Bob Persichetti revealed the story behind the film explaining how we get to know this latest version of Spiderman.

"The story is about the origin of Miles Morales becoming a Spiderman and he's a Brooklyn teen in a world where Spiderman already exists. Peter Parker, his identity isn't known but the character of Spiderman is there and saving people daily. So, it brings forward a story about a teenager that has a unique take on this myth of becoming Spiderman".
