Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse released in December of last year and proved to be a massive success — even going so far as to win the Academy Award for
"Best Animated Feature Film." A multitude of webslingers from across the multiverse unite in the animated film.
The core group that featured consisted of Miles Morales, Peter B. Parker, Gwen Stacy, Spider-Man Noir, Peni Parker, and Spider-Ham. However, there was another wall-crawler in the film who was relegated the the credits. At the very end of the film's runtime, there's a brief clip which features Oscar Isaac as the voice of Miguel O'Hara A.K.A. Spider-Man 2099.
The creator of this character, Marvel Comics writer, Peter David recently spoke with
Comics: The Gathering about his first time seeing Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse and his reaction to that scene.
“I gotta tell you, [Marvel Comics writer] Dan Slott was at the Marvel screening for it, as was I. And he was sitting next to a reporter. And when the lights came up, the reporter said, ‘Who was it who yelled ‘yes’ when the caption said ‘Meanwhile, in Nueva York…’’ and then he said, ‘Oh, that was Peter David, the creator of Spider-Man 2099.'"
"I was so freakin’ thrilled to see Miguel up there, I was just so happy," David told the site before admitting that there was one thing about the post-credits scene that slightly annoyed him.
Lyla also featured in the scene — voiced by Greta Lee. She an artificial intelligence who serves as Miguel's companion. She's supposed to look like Marilyn Monroe but didn't in the film. It's that change which irked David, though he can see why it was made.
"I can understand why Sony decided to avoid getting protests from the estate of Ms. Monroe over it. I mean, I’m sure they didn’t give a damn about her showing up in the comic book but if she’s in a big screen motion picture, they might have gotten a tad, you know — letters from lawyers, and who needs that aggravation?”
