SPIDER-MAN: ACROSS THE SPIDER-VERSE Spoilers: 10 Deep Cut Easter Eggs Which You Need To See

Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse may feature hundreds of wall-crawling Variants, but there are plenty of Easter Eggs beyond those cameos. You'll find a definitive list of the 10 most amazing efforts here!

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

j-jonah-jameson-mcu-top-1024x576-1-1200x900

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.

@BlackStar25 - Yeah, he was the one that said “you’ve got nowhere else to run” before Miles dived out the window

Was actually looking for Spider-man the animated series. I hope he makes it in "Beyond"

@vectorsigma - Spectacular was there

vectorsigma
vectorsigma - 6/7/2023, 12:43 PM
@PlusUltra - yep, it was great seeing that. Maybe by the next movie we see the 90s spidey. Was really looking for him in the background during the chase in my 2nd viewing. No sighting!

bobevanz - 6/7/2023, 1:46 PM
@vectorsigma - oh he's coming. They had Spectacular, and Unlimited in this one so it's a guarantee! And I'm gonna say he'll actually play a role in the story, perhaps involving Madame Web, ending the cliffhanger from TAS hmmm

@vectorsigma - the spider verse started with him and he's fought the spot before. He should not only be in beyond he should be an important player.

@bobevanz - with him missing in "Across" it seems you are right that there mght be bigger plans for him in "Beyond"

1) splitting this article onto two different sites? Come on. You didn't even do it. This is just one half then the full article is elsewhere. This is an advertisement claiming to be a full article. That's some shady sh!t.

2) calling the amazing spiderman 2 a fun game 🤣

3) 199999 is the actual comic book designation for the mcu. They called it that in the movie instead of 616 because 616 is the comics universe, and they are clearly referencing comics in this movie.
LiteraryJoe

@Origame - but the Illuminati said Strange is from 616, it was retconned in Multiverse of Disappointment. This movie's dialogue was likely written before the retcon. He says "Doctor Strange and that nerd over in 1999999" so he is for sure referencing the MCU.

Also, I think he meant the game, Spider-Man 2. I was also stumped for a minute on that one. I'm sorry you're disappointed but very happy to see you remain a part of the community.
Origame
Origame - 6/8/2023, 8:05 AM
@LiteraryJoe - but 616 is the comics universe. And if you hear the reasoning from the writer, he's clearly just confused about how the designations work and doesn't know the mcu has a designation.

Also, I know he meant the game. That game was super jank and basically ruined Spiderman as a game franchise until the ps4 game.
LiteraryJoe
LiteraryJoe - 6/8/2023, 8:12 AM
@Origame - I genuinely don't remember the game.

But this is a live action adaptation of 616. Using the name only limits an actual comic spiderman from showing up. I never heard his reasoning but I figured it landed on ignorance just like 8 years later in Homecoming.
Origame
Origame - 6/8/2023, 8:17 AM
@LiteraryJoe - 1) it was a pretty bad game.

2) he said "that's what they called it in the comics". He clearly didn't know each universe has its own designation.

And yeah, that's the main limit. But even if you think that's a very minor point, why limit even that?

But not only that they can't crossover with anything that's crossed over with 616. Which is a lot thanks to the spiderverse comic alone.

@Origame - I misunderstood when you said writer, I thought you meant of the film.
Origame
Origame - 6/8/2023, 10:28 AM
@LiteraryJoe - it is the writer. Of MoM.
FireandBlood
FireandBlood - 6/7/2023, 12:25 PM
The MCU is officially Earth-199999. Only that Illuminati universe in MoM identified it as 616, but they were a bunch of idiots anyway.

LiteraryJoe
LiteraryJoe - 6/8/2023, 7:56 AM
@PlusUltra - And somehow Quentin Beck, or at least the guy who wrote it for him. I think the 1-999999 line us just this movie's "8 years later"
LiteraryJoe
LiteraryJoe - 6/8/2023, 7:57 AM
@PlusUltra - Now I'm more interested about the guy who wrote the story for Beck about an interdimensional traveler who comes to 616.
FireandBlood
FireandBlood - 6/8/2023, 8:00 AM
@LiteraryJoe -

I didn’t catch metro Spider-Man, but I caught everything else.

I don’t mean to be a Debby downer, but when I watch the first and second one I didn’t really get masterpiece or greatest Spider-Man movie of all time.

I like these movies. More than solid 8/10 and I’m so glad people are putting some respect on miles name because he is Spider-Man too.
LiteraryJoe
LiteraryJoe - 6/8/2023, 7:58 AM
@MyCoolYoung - It's crazy that he's a household name and he's only existed 12 years.

I haven't seen it yet. But it would be cool if the 60's cartoon version shows up.

@WEAPONXOXOXO - I mean, we already got that in the first movie.

Cool clickbait. Still not visiting "Toonado."

@joshwilding - Heads up, the director told me ganke couldn't be involved in the first one because he would be too similar to Ned. Could be something worth mentioning in your Ganke bit.

where's the fact that they did mention Dr. Strange about the multiverse thing?
