4 years of work on stage: Spider-Man What sequence of the Spider-Verse was the biggest challenge of the film?

Spider is fine. Two, hello damage (in the multiverse). And hundreds, even thousands? That’s the challenge facing Spider-Man – The Spider-Verse, the new generation sequel, in time for one of the most impressive sequences of the already spectacular animated film, which hits our theaters on May 31st.

And it’s no surprise that it’s the Guggenheim that’s featured in one of the trailers and where we see many variations of Spider-Man. So much so that it is now impossible to count them all on screen and that we will have to wait for the movie to be released on video before we can pause and count each character.

Since each variant has its own animation style, the task was already difficult on paper. This was further enhanced when it was decided that Miles Morales would be chased by all the other heroes there, adding great movement to an already complex sequence.

“It was the first we wrote the story, and the last we finished the animation”explains director Joaquim dos Santos in a question-and-answer session, incl Collider Copy notes. So we worked on this sequence for four years.

“Justin Must have exact numbers, but if you want to round out the hours spent working on this film to make a straight line, it’s about 792 hours. If a person did everything in a row. But these films are made in tandem, side by side. And here we are talking about thousands of employees, it’s crazy.”

Mad as a result, a new animated marvel that manages to live up to its first opus, the 2019 Oscar winner, even stronger, especially with its brilliant opening sequence. Now we have to wait for the conclusion of the trilogy, which is scheduled for next April.
