The Spider-Verse sequel was originally envisioned as an Endgame-style movie

A lead animator on Spider♔-Man: Across the Spider-Verse has teased the "insanely ambitious" scope of the sequel before it became a two🌺-parter.

"[We were asking] 'Wait, so this is what a two-and-a-half-hour movie?” character animator Ere Santos told of the original bumper plans for a Spider-Verse sequel, which eventually became Across the Spider-Verse. "T𒈔his is a really large story that they're telling. And with all the arcs that they wanted to put in, we were just thinking this was going to be an intense, quick, fast-p♛aced, high-energy movie."

Santos claimed that they were planning "Endgame-esque stuff” for the follow-up to Miles Morales’ 2018 animated adventure 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Into the Spider-Verse. The shift to two sequels, however, eventually "[gave] it that breathing room we all felt that it really needed to kind of go, 'Okay, what do we 🌳need to set up in the second📖 movie? And how can we resolve it in the third movie?"

That change has also meant the "insanely ambitious" scale has been reined in, because it was🧸 "like trying to fit two movies into one."
