Spider-Verse's Key Plot Twist Pioneered by Spider-Man Veteran

Mar 05, 2024 12:00 PM

In the animated film "Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse," a significant story development regarding the spider that bit Miles Morales emerged from the creative mind of renowned Spider-Man comic writer Dan Slott. Slott revealed in an interview how he proposed the conception that the spider was from another universe, which was later integrated into the movie's narrative. This twist explains the glitching spider in "Into the Spider-Verse" and its origins from a different dimension, significantly altering Miles Morales' path to becoming Spider-Man. The intricate details of this storyline were not initially planned during the making of the first film but were later confirmed and deepened in the sequel.

Additionally, Dan Slott suggested on-screen cues to clarify the narrative to all audiences, including the visual confirmation of Earth-42 during a crucial scene. His contributions stem from his experience as the creator of the Spider-Verse comic series, which makes his involvement in the movie's development fitting. Beyond these revelations, the film's directors also mentioned that feedback from test audiences prompted changes to the conclusion of the movie.

What is the connection between the spider that bit Miles Morales and the concept of multiple universes in "Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse"?

The spider that bit Miles Morales came from another universe, as evidenced by its glitching, indicating interdimensional travel. This means that Miles was never meant to be bitten and become Spider-Man in his universe. This twist ties directly to the concept of multiple universes and becomes a central plot point in "Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse."

"Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse" is the sequel to the critically acclaimed "Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse," which introduced audiences to Brooklyn teenager Miles Morales as he becomes the Spider-Man of his reality. The film was lauded for its unique animation style, character development, and the fresh take on the Spider-Man lore. With the involvement of comic veterans like Dan Slott, the sequel continues to explore the complex and rich multiverse that the Spider-Man franchise is known for, adding depth and authenticity to the storytelling.
