SPIDER-MAN: ACROSS THE SPIDER-VERSE (PART ONE) Producer Confirms Each Universe Will Have A Different Art Style

We got our first look at Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse (Part One) a month ago. The hectic first trailer for the sequel to Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse saw Miles invited on a wild adventure through the multiverse by Gwen Stacy, A.K.A. Spider-Woman. We were treated to some glimpses of alternate realities, one of which got Miles entangled with Spider-Man 2099!

Observant viewers were able to spot that each of the different universes appeared to be visually distinct from the last, which is apparently by design. Writer and producer of Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse (Part One), Christopher Miller, revealed to Collider that each of the different universes that feature in the film will have their own art styles. 

The idea that we’d be going to different dimensions really opened up an opportunity artistically to have each world have its own art style, and to be able to push the folks at ImageWorks to develop a way to have each dimension feel like it was drawn by a different artist’s hand. Seeing the development of that stuff is breathtaking, and really, it’s the reason we keep doing it, because it’s so hard to get it right.

This practice was somewhat utilised for Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse. The glimpses of Spider-Ham and Spider-Man Noir's respective universes weren't exactly of the same art style as Miles' one, for instance.

Miller went on to clear up that this deviation from the first instalment is also by design. “It is, as Phil [Lord] said, a very ambitious sequel, because we didn’t want to just sort of do the same thing again."

Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse being visually innovative is a large part of what made it so great, so it's good to hear that the creatives aren't resting on their laurels.

That’s such a cool and needed detail

@BlackBeltJones - wasn't like that in the 1st one as well?

Anyway, how cool would it be to see a live action Spider-man among them?

Maybe they’ll meet Holland. And Garfield and McGuire. And Keaton.

@TheWalkingCuban - I kind of wonder if the reason it was scrapped for the first one was because of No Way Home, but I don't see why they couldn't now. 🤷

@Manmarvel -

I think they didn't want the appearances of the live-action actors to distract the viewer from the main characters. Same reason why Sean Connery wasn't in Skyfall.

@TheWalkingCuban - If they meet Maguire, the animated Raimi-universe should have an art style like Alex Ross paintings.

The time has come to try it. The risk is worth of the reward. We shall see it happen in our time.

Let's go to the Spider-man Noir universe, like an old black and white detective movie.

If they brought back Christopher Daniel Barnes, picked up where this left off and concluded the arc as a subplot within this movie, I would be so incredibly grateful.

So TAS Spider-Man showing up is even more of a possibility now. We got Tobey back in the live action world, if we can get Christopher Daniel Barnes back in the animated world it would be Spider-Man fanservice overload.
