Kondo works as the lead animator for Sony Pictures Imageworks, a visual effects and computer animation company headquartered in Vancouver, Canada.

Sony Pictures Imageworks was behind the original Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse as well. It has also worked on all other live-action Spider-Man films, winning an Oscar for Spider-Man 2.

Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse 2 has been in development before the release of the first film, with Dave Callaham (The Expendables) as writer and Joaquim Dos Santos (Avatar: The Last Airbender) as director.

Shameik Moore and Hailee Steinfeld are expected to return as the voice of Miles Morales / Spider-Man and Gwen Stacy / Spider-Gwen, respectively. Producer Phil Lord hinted that Japanese Spider-Man from the 1978 Spider-Man series might be involved too.

Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse 2 will also act as a springboard for a female-focused spin-off, led by Steinfeld as Spider-Gwen.

The first film was a major success, making $375.5 million (about Rs. 2,832 crores) worldwide and winning the Oscar for best animated movie.

Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse 2 is slated to open October 7, 2022 worldwide, having been pushed from its original April 2022 release date due to the pandemic.
