SPIDER-MAN: ACROSS THE SPIDER-VERSE's Digital Release Has Revealed Which Version Of The Sequel Is "Canon"

Two versions of Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse ended up playing in theaters, but with the sequel now available on Digital, we know which of those is officially the "canon" version of the movie...

Shortly after Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse swung into theaters, many moviegoers began complaining about the sequel's sound mix. There were lines of dialogue which were near-impossible to hear, with the soundtrack overpowering what the characters on screen were saying. 

With an improved version later sent out to theaters, eagle-eyed fans noticed a couple of scenes had been changed, with at least a few sequences differing slightly.

As we first reported on Toonado.com, Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse's Digital release confirms which version of the critically acclaimed sequel should be considered "officially" canon. 

In the Digital movie, Spider-Man 2099 is forced to take a selfie with his virtual assistant Lyla with a bunny filter. Previously, we saw her simply point at her boss and exchange some snappy dialogue. 

As for Andy Samberg's Scarlet Spider, he makes a quip about his "well-defined musculature," meaning the scene in which he talks about putting Miles in a sleeper hold is consigned to the history books. Another change shows Spider-Gwen reacting differently to Miles seemingly being crushed in Spider-Man India's Mumbattan.

This is interesting, but we're sure most of you will be combing through Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse's Digital release for Easter Eggs. One fan, for example, has already spotted one which passed us by on the big screen...

Miles Morales returns for the next chapter of the Oscar-winning Spider-Verse saga, Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse. After reuniting with Gwen Stacy, Brooklyn's full-time, friendly neighbourhood Spider-Man is catapulted across the Multiverse, where he encounters a team of Spider-People charged with protecting its very existence.

But when the heroes clash on how to handle a new threat, Miles finds himself pitted against the other Spiders and must redefine what it means to be a hero so he can save the people he loves most.

The movie stars Shameik Moore, Hailee Steinfeld, Jake Johnson, Issa Rae, Daniel Kaluuya, Karan Soni, Jason Schwartzman, Brian Tyree Henry, Luna Lauren Velez, Greta Lee, Rachel Dratch, Jorma Taccone, Shea Whigham, and Oscar Isaac.

Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse is now available on Digital platforms.

From what I heard the sound mixing is still really bad in the first scene of the digital release. You can barely hear Gwen talking.

We saw that Atari Gobby easter egg before. It's nothing new.

Hope they do a spider-verse DLC for Marvel's Spider-Man 2 and just focus on previous video games. That'd be pretty neat. Yuri Lowenthal has voiced Spider-Man in a bunch of projects even before the Insomniac gig, it'd be cool to reference them I think.

This was [frick]ing fantastic but a wee bit overlong IMO - not that that's a bad thing, mind you.

Kinda like getting a 20oz steak and realizing you should have gotten the 10oz filet.

The easter eggs were brilliant - Amazing Friends video game monster and Atari Goblin just two of the childhood throwbacks that were nerd perfect.
