The announcement video wasn’t just a mere date reveal. It showcased the film’s leading trio – Shameik Moore, Hailee Steinfeld, and Jake Johnson – enthusiastically promoting the sequel. Culminating in a humorous moment, the trio tipped their hats to fans by reenacting the viral “Spider-Man pointing” meme.
