New Spider-Man: India Clip Teases a Chai Tea Joke Ahead of Across the Spider-Verse

Sony has released a new official clip for Spider-Man: India, the spinoff tied to Across the Spider-Verse, and it leans entirely on comedy rather than action.

The clip matters to fans because it is one of the few pieces of footage Sony has put out showing this version of Spider-Man in his own voice, ahead of his connection to the wider Spider-Verse story.

The Clip Opens With a Stranger Spotting the New Spider-Man

The short scene starts with someone noticing the character for the first time, asking, "hey who's the new guy," to which he replies, "I'm sorry who are you." He then introduces himself directly to the camera, saying, "I'm glad you asked you guys my name is."

He Jokes That Mumbai's Traffic Is Everywhere

Much of the clip is built around a running joke about congestion in his city, with the character repeating, "this is where the traffic is this is also where the traffic is the traffic here too."

He Says Being Spider-Man Is Easy and Talks About His Aunty's Chai Tea

He then breaks down what his job actually looks like day to day, saying, "being Spider-Man is so easy I find a few bad guys quick break for a guy with my my auntie I love chai tea." That line catches another character off guard, who responds, "what did you just say," leading to a small back and forth about how he phrased it, ending with "should I teach I mean Steve you're saying DD."

The Clip Closes With the Across the Spider-Verse Release Tag

The clip ends the same way Sony's other promotional material has, confirming the character's link to the bigger film with the line "across the spider verse exclusively in movie theater."

What do you make of this lighter, comedic introduction for Spider-Man: India compared to the trailers for Across the Spider-Verse itself?
