Ninja tweeted out an ad for ‘Spider-Verse’ on March 1, which included a unique shoutout from Shameik Moore, the voice actor for the film’s main character, Miles Morales.

“Yo, Ninja, you gotta hook me up, man!” Moore said in Miles’ voice. “I gotta be on your squad. Tell me what the process is, let’s get it going!”

That wasn’t the end of the shoutout; Moore went on to transform into Miles in an animated short, who swung into a spider-fied version of battle royale game Apex Legends’ main menu.

Rather than featuring the game’s main legends, the character slots were filled with heroes from the ‘Spider-Verse,’ including Spider-Gwen, Spider-Ham, and even Spider-Man Noir, among others.
