Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse brought fans through a number of universes each one beautifully animated with their own style. One of the film’s visual consultants, Kevin Aymeric, has revealed brand new concept art for other universes, including one inspired by legendary Marvel artist Jack Kirby.
To say the art of Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse is stunning would be an understatement. The film used dozens of groundbreaking techniques to make each universe feel like its own. Even more universes that didn’t make the cut were revealed by visual consultant Kevin Aymeric, showcasing inspirations from 1930s cartoons, Japanese artist Hokusai, and even the godfather of Marvel art: Jack Kirby!
It wasn’t likely any of these universes would have made it into Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse as, according to Kevin Aymeric, they were simply freestyle explorations. However, the sheer beauty and diversity of what could have been remains a sight to behold! Though given these concepts were left on the cutting room floor, fans can only imagine what remains to be seen in Spider-Man: Beyond the Spider-Verse.
Directed by Joaquim Dos Santos, Kemp Powers and Justin K. Thompson from a screenplay written by Phil Lord, Christopher Miller and Dave Callaham, Across The Spider-Verse also features the voice talents of Jake Johnson, Brian Tyree Henry, Luna Lauren Vélez, Jason Schwartzman, Rachel Dratch, Shea Whigham and Jorma Taccone. Avi Arad, Amy Pascal, Christina Steinberg are producing the upcoming movie alongside Lord and Miller, who also worked on its predecessor.
The Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse synopsis reads as follows: “Miles Morales returns for the next chapter of the Oscar-winning Spider-Verse saga… After reuniting with Gwen Stacy, Brooklyn’s full-time, friendly neighborhood 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.”
