Metro Boomin serves as the executive producer of the upcoming Metro Boomin Presents Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse Soundtrack from and Inspired by the Motion Picture. He curated the tracklist and produced the records.

Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse is the sequel to 2018’s Academy Award-winning Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse. The computer-animated superhero film about New York City teenager Miles Morales hits American theaters on June 2. The soundtrack drops the same day.
