Which article are you evaluating?
Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse

Why you have chosen this article to evaluate?
I chose this article because the first in it's series is one of my favorite films, and I found this one through the WikiProjects page for film.

Evaluate the article
Everything in the Article is absolutely related to the article topic. I was distracted by a few repetitious statements, and although they were in different sections and both relevant in their sections, I felt like there were moments where they could have pick and chose what parts of the statement could go where. For example, there is a "Cast" and "Casting" section, both of which contain the same details about a character Takuya Yamashiro, who on the wikipedia article does not have his casting completed yet. It might be worth keeping it in the "Casting" section, saying it is unconfirmed who will play the character, while taking out the long description for him in the Additional voice paragraph of the "Cast" section. Another big distraction was that the two main characters are constantly referenced differently, wherein the protagonist Miles Morales (voiced by Shameik Moore) is frequently referred to as Moore's Miles in the rest of the article, whilst the second largest character consistently gets her full title everytime as Hailee Steinfeld's Gwen Stacy / Spider-Woman. The clarification is not a problem, but it did confuse me a few times when I was reading. I think it'd be better to frequently reference Moore's Miles in the same way, saying Shameik Moore's Miles Morales / Spider-Man as well. Finally, it bothered me that the order of the cast list did not begin with the film's titular character, and instead with a newer character that has been introduced for the new film. It's confusing.

For the most part, it seems the article is up to date, and is being constantly revised. It has been edited 23 times alone in the current month of september, and since the movie still has not come out it will likely be constantly updated until next year when it is meant to release. The details are extraordinary, referencing every date change of the film's release, having changed about 4 times due to Covid and other delays. I don't think anything is missing right now, but it will definitely need updates as advertising and press releases start coming out to increase hype for the film.

The article is about a film, and thus there is nothing about equity gaps or poor representation throughout.

I wish I could find something that needs improvement, but objectively speaking this article had more information than I expected to be available yet for this film. The film is not going to be release until next summer, so the fact that this much of the cast has been revealed with the way the film industry currently works with its secrecy surprised me deeply. I think my only change would be minor, and that'd be perhaps to add a "Fun facts" section that takes some of the random information that has been added to the sections they are in simply because there is no miscellaneous location to put them.

The article is neutral on its information, existing purely to provide information about the casting, advertising, and release dates of the film it is addressing.

I clicked on three different links from the article, all of which took me to articles that supported their statements. The references are all from different Digital Magazines, all of which had their own primary sources from interviews or from the primary source's own online postings. The sources are opinionated, introducing their own wants and ideas, but the sources that they are gathering from are reported as recorded.

The talk page is discussing matters mostly related to casting, discussing whether to add people that have been rumored or confirmed to the cast list, as well as the order of the cast. Funnily enough, I mentioned this as a distraction in the beginning of this evaluation, so seeing that people are discussing it in the talk page is interesting. They are also discussing the fact that the film's sequel may have a title change before it comes out, and they were trying to decide whether or not to keep it as is.

The article is rated as "Start Class" in all accounts, meaning that it is developing but is incomplete. It is also marked as low importance.

It appears in 5 different WikiProject groups, all of which have to do in different levels with Comics, Marvel, Film, Animation, and Computer Generation.
