Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse Producer Says Each Universe will Have Distinct Art Style


There is little doubt that Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse (Part One) is one of the most highly anticipated sequels of the year. After all, the teaser had already confirmed that the first half of the two-part sequel will feature Miles Morales swinging into a new universe. The best part is, we'll get to tell when Miles isn't in his own universe. Christopher Miller has just confirmed that each universe will have its distinct art style!

In the first teaser for Across the Spider-Verse, Miles Morales is visited by Gwen Stacy who invites him to leave his room. This leads to Miles swinging into several different universes before ending up in one where he is instantly pursued by Spider-Man 2099.

But how do we know that Miles was in different universes? The art style was different in each one and that's something that Chris Miller was eager to confirm.

"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," Miller told Collider. "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 isn't a huge surprise considering that we've already seen it in Spider-Man: Into The Spider-Verse, albeit in just a couple of universes. There is little doubt we'll be seeing several new dimensions in the sequel and hopefully, we'll get another glimpse at them when the official trailer is dropped. Stay tuned for more updates on this story.

Spider-Man: Across The Spider-Verse (Part One) will bring back Shameik Moore, Hailee Steinfeld, Jake Johnson, and Oscar Isaac. The sequel will premiere on October 7, 2022.
