It seems fair to say that Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse is a very special movie, and for fans of any version of the web-slinger, it's an absolute delight.
There are cameos galore (including from some Spider-Heroes we never expected to see on screen), but don't let those overshadow all the sequel's amazing Easter Eggs. It boasts heaps of nods to the comic books, other movie franchises, and Spider-Man's astonishing history on both the page and screen.
In this feature, we've rounded up 10 spectacular examples we think might have passed you by on a first viewing. Based on how Beyond the Spider-Verse is shaping up, some could be very important for that movie as well.
Take a look at these Across the Spider-Verse Easter Eggs by clicking the "Next" button below!
10. Ultimate Fallout
In Spider-Gwen's bedroom, there's a poster for a band called "Ultimate Fallout."
The comic book fans among you will recall that Ultimate Fallout #4 marked Miles Morales' debut on the page in the wake of Peter Parker's death. He fights Kangaroo before unmasking as the much younger web-slinger, a moment that generated a lot of headlines at the time.
Talking of Gwen Stacy's music interests, the fact she's part of a band called the Mary Janes is also a nod to the source material.
9. Spider-Man Video Game
After what Miles' roommate saw in Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse, we suppose the teen becoming privy to his pal's superhero activities was inevitable.
However, we learn in Across the Spider-Verse that this is Ganke Lee, the title character's best friend from the comics. While he watches Miles return to their dorm room, he can be seen playing a Spider-Man video game. However, we believe that's actually footage from Insomniac's upcoming sequel, Spider-Man 2.
You'll also notice that Ganke doesn't want to be Miles' "guy in the chair," separating him from the MCU's Ned Leeds.
8. Yuri Watanabe
The movie kicks off with a Vulture from another reality attacking the Guggenheim in New York City. That alone could explain how Adrian Toomes ended up in the same reality as Morbius, a handy retcon for Sony Pictures.
However, you might notice that Captain George Stacy is joined during this part of the movie by Yuri Watanabe.
First introduced in Amazing Spider-Man #600, she was one of the web-slinger's closest allies before becoming disillusioned with her job and taking on the villainous mantle of The Wraith. That's a story we expect to see tackled in the aforementioned Spider-Man 2.
7. Metro Boomin's Spider-Man
When Miles is on the run from the Spider Society, he's eventually confronted by an entire army of his fellow Spider-Heroes.
If you're wondering who the Spidey decked out in a black and white costume and hanging upside down is, that's a newly created Variant voiced by music producer Metro Boomin. He was brought on board Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse to produce its soundtrack, something which clearly earned him a cameo role.
That's probably it for this Spider-Man, but it's a cool Easter Egg for Boomin's sizeable fanbase.
6. J. Jonah Jameson
It appears J.K. Simmons is J. Jonah Jameson in every reality because the actor makes at least a few cameo appearances in this sequel.
As well as criticising Miles' actions on his Earth, we see a LEGO version too (though that one appears to be spouting dialogue recycled from Sam Raimi's Spider-Man 2). He can also be heard on Earth-42, but we'll expand on that a little later in this feature.
So far, we've seen that some characters look totally different across the Multiverse (Spider-Man), while others remain the same (Doctor Strange). It seems Jonah falls into the latter category.
