How do you top one of the greatest animated movies of all time? That’s the primary question that Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse’s 1,000-strong cast and crew asked themselves ahead of the webslinger’s next big screen adventure.
Doing so wouldn’t be easy. Its predecessor – 2018’s Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse – was a game-changer in the animation space. Its spectacular comic book-inspired visuals, meta and emotionally driven narrative, and transformative cinematic experience reshaped perspectives on animation as an art form and how superhero movies were created. Critical and commercial acclaim followed, as did numerous awards, for a Spider-Man film that’ll long live in the memory.
