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.

00:10 I won't get into specifics, you know, I'll let people discover them for themselves.

00:13 But I want to know how much of Across you guys knew when you were doing Into, and what's

00:18 one thing that you wish you would put in the first film that might have helped the next

00:22 two?

00:23 Wow.

00:24 There are a couple of things.

00:25 I think that we, you know, there's the beat at the end of the first movie.

00:29 Right.

00:30 We had to do a bit of retconning.

00:31 There's a little bit of retconning on that as far as, you know, he's older now, and it

00:35 was, 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 That's funny.

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

00:54 It's unclear whether he's in his dorm room or in his parents' house.

01:00 And he, and it was his bed from the dorm room, so we had to kind of like retcon it into his

01:08 parents' apartment.

01:10 We also did a big redesign on Captain George Stacy, 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.
