The 'Spider-Man: Into The Spider-Verse' Scene That Had To Be Retconned So That 'Across The Spider-Verse' Made Sense

Chris Miller and Phil Lord interview.

Transcript

00:00 There are so many amazing ways that Across the Spider-Verse ties into Into the Spider-Verse

00:07 and they can't be coincidences the way that certain things lay out and I won't get into

00:10 specifics you know I'll let people discover them for themselves but I want to know how

00:13 much of Across you guys knew when you were doing Into and what's one thing that you wish

00:19 you would put in the first film that might have helped the next two?

00:22 Wow.

00:23 Oh gosh.

00:24 There are a couple things well obviously we you know there's the beat at the end of the

00:28 first movie.

00:30 Right.

00:31 We had to do a bit of retconning.

00:32 There's a little bit of retconning on that as far as you know he's older now and it was

00:35 you know in the first movie it was still his younger design.

00:39 We almost I tried to talk Chris into going back into the first film and revising the

00:44 final shot to make Miles look older.

00:48 Oh that's funny.

00:49 And also it's unclear in that final shot it's Miles dropping into his bed it's unclear whether

00:54 he's in his dorm room or in his parents house and he and it was his bed from the dorm room

01:03 so we had to kind of like retcon it into the into his parents apartment.

01:09 We also did a big redesign on Captain George Stacey who appears very briefly in the first

01:14 movie but doesn't look like the way the character that's played by Shea Wigum is in this movie.

01:21 Yeah I would have given Dr. Jonathan Ohn a cool beard and hairstyle.
