Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse challenges heavily guarded comic book story tropes with a well-crafted multiverse movie.Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse had everything going for it when it was released. Audiences had high hopes (and expectations) for the film after the promise of a worthy sequel to 2018’s Into the Spider-Verse; Spider-Man fans were also spoiled with No Way Home, arguably the franchise’s best crossover film to date. No one anticipated Across the Spider-Verse would break new ground in storytelling, though, finding new ways to present multiverse concepts as essential but inherently problematic. The film even coined a new term to describe this: the canon event. In an interview with IndieWire, Across the Spider-Verse’s co-director Kemp Powers reveals the creative process that shaped the movie.Across the Spider-Verse introduced the concept of the canon event, a constant and pivotal moment all the Spider-Man variants must experience in their timelines to progress. The sequel hinged on the premise that the fabric of the Spider-Verse depends on keeping the sanctity of these canon events, such as a Peter Parker variant being bit by a spider, or experiencing the death of a relative like Aunt May or Uncle Ben. The movie even has a true gatekeeper in Miguel O’Hara as the main villain; Powers explained how Oscar Isaac’s character was a metaphor for stalwart fan communities.
