Almost a month after the release of Spider-Man Across the Spider-Verse, the film’s editor reveals a huge secret that’s hard to see… except for the die-hards.
Spider-Man Across the Spider-Verse is definitely one of the great cinematic moments of 2023. Acclaimed from all sides, the new animated film from Sony Pictures is also shining at the global box office. Yesterday, Thursday June 22, 2023, the feature film had earned $ 503.2 million. That’s more than 100 million than Into the Spider-Verse. A success that is likely to make The Flash cry and Elementary from Pixar, two new releases that are failures so far. A triumph that could be even more important after this revelation.
There Are “Multiple Movies” Spider-Man Across the Spider-Verse
In Spider-Man Across the Spider-Verse, Miles Morales, Gwen Stacy and the gang face the multiverse with all that entails. Like having a huge number of different Spider-Men such as Spider-Punk, Spider-Cop, Spider-Man 2099 etc. “After reuniting with Gwen Stacy, Spider-Man, the friendly hero from Brooklyn, is catapulted through the Multiverse, where he encounters a team of Spider-Heroes tasked with protecting its existence. But when the heroes clash over how to handle a new threat, Miles finds himself pitted against them and must redefine what it means to be a hero in order to save the people he loves most.”.
Several days after the release of Spider-Man Across the Spider-Verse, fans have solved a huge mystery. A secret today confirmed the film’s editor, Andrew Leviton. What is it about ? There are various versions of Spider-Man Next Generation 2 that are running in cinemas. This is what fans, who have seen it more than once, have noticed.
A netizen posted a snippet of Spider-Man Across the Spider-Verse featuring Spider-Man 2099 and Lyla’s character. What jumps to the eyes, it is the end of the two clips. In one of them, the second, Lyla ends her pose by doing a seflie. An action absent from the other version of the film. The dialogues also differ as reported by tapurambles. “I was wondering when people would notice” responds editor Andrew Leviton.
The Beyond the Spider-Verse sequel is revealed
So much for the pretty amazing secret of Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse that may have fans going to the movies multiple times. It is not known how many copies, with these changes, have been distributed, although there are at least two. Likewise, once the animated film is available on Blu-ray, DVD or SVOD, will viewers get a different version of the neighbor? Verdict in a few months.
For now, those who have seen the feature film can’t wait to pay their ticket for Spider-Man Across the Spider-Verse Part 2. If you’re one of them, go to April 3, 2024 for Spider-Man Beyond the Spider-Verse. The official title of the sequel. It’s both quite close but also very far, because New Generation 2 ends on a cliffhanger that drove more than one crazy. But it is a choice wanted by the teams. Christophe Miller, one of the screenwriters, indeed said that there was too much information for a single episode. Even though the latter lasts 2h16.
“We only realized later that we were trying to do two films in one. The impression of having a complete film to which another was added at the end. When we realized that, then we made this choice (note: to have two parts) and I think it was the best decision to make. Without it, we wouldn’t have been able to go deeper into the emotional part of the story.” he explained (via Collider).
We remind you for all intents and purposes that fans of Spider-Man will be able to console themselves with Marvel’s Spider-Man 2. A game excluded PS5 which arrives on October 20, 2023.
