Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse may have included some impressive live-action sequences, but it seems even more were previously planned. The directors opened up about the sequel, sharing some insight into why they cut these moments from the script.
"We had even bigger ambitions," Justin K. Thompson told Variety. His co-director Kemp Powers added: "There were times when we had huge live-action sequences in the film, and it just turned into a bad joke. Even we didn’t like it anymore. And we just said, 'OK, enough, let’s make sure that it’s something precise that gets the most bang for the buck, and speaks to the story.'"
