Spider-Verse directors talk working with a 14-year-old fan on the Lego scene: "Is that legal?"

Spider-verse.

This year's blockbuster sequel Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse followed in the footsteps of the original film by once again pushing the boundaries of both storytelling and animation. As we joined our hero Miles Morales and co. on another adventure, we visited numerous dimensions including one which was rather brilliantly made with Lego. 

But as director trio Kemp Powers, Joaquim Dos Santos, and Justin K. Thompson told us in a recent interview, originally there wasn't a Lego dimension – instead in its place was one filled with "crazy aliens" and more. However, when you are working with filmmaker duo Lord and Miller, who helmed 2014's beloved animated feature The Lego Movie, you just have to include Lego somewhere in the film. And so, when the pair, who were on-board here as writers and producers, suggested this, the directors knew exactly who should animate the scene.
