Spider-Verse directors reveal that shocking Prowler twist was a last minute addition

Across the spider-verse.

There's no doubt about it – Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse has one of the best endings in cinema this year. Jaws dropped on the floor when it was revealed that not only is Miles Morales in the wrong dimension having been sent to Earth-42, but the Miles here is actually the villainous The Prowler. Since Spider-Man doesn't exist in this world, the city is riddled with crime, with Earth-42's Miles being right at the center of it as the villain.

It's a great twist which is not only shocking, but neatly sets events up for upcoming sequel Beyond the Spider-Verse. Surprisingly, though, that wasn't part of the original plan for the finale, as director trio Kemp Powers, Joaquim Dos Santos, and Justin K. Thompson revealed in an interview with GamesRadar+.
