London’s Covent Garden Swings into Action with Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse at Jamaica Patty Co
Last weekend, Covent Garden in London witnessed an exciting takeover when Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse swung into action at the beloved Jamaica Patty Co.
To celebrate the digital release of Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse, now available for home viewing, Jamaica Patty Co treated the first 200 customers on both Saturday, September 2, and Sunday, September 3, to mouth-watering spicy beef patties. These delectable treats are not just any snacks; they were famously featured in the movie when superhero Miles Morales encountered the supervillain the Spot.
And of course it wouldn’t have been a true ‘fanfare’ without Miles Morales himself. The character made a special appearance, allowing fans to snap Spidey selfies with him.
The action/adventure film takes audiences on a thrilling journey as Brooklyn’s friendly neighbourhood Spider-Man, Miles Morales, reunites with Gwen Stacy and embarks on a multiverse-spanning adventure. Along the way, he encounters a diverse team of Spider-People tasked with safeguarding the very fabric of reality. However, when these heroes clash over how to handle a new threat, Miles finds himself at odds with his fellow Spiders and feels a need to redefine heroism to save the people he holds dearest.
The event at Jamaica Patty Co provided an excellent opportunity for fans of the film and the superhero genre to immerse themselves in the Spider-Verse experience. With the chance to enjoy a spicy beef patties and interact with Miles , it was a weekend to remember.
