When moviegoers began complaining that Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse was difficult to hear in places, a new version was sent out to theaters with a soundtrack which didn't overpower the dialogue quite so much.
However, there were a few other alterations, including different dialogue and new visual gags (during an exchange between Spider-Man 2099 and Lyla, for example). At the time, we thought these were confined to a scene or two, but one eagle-eyed fan has uncovered a whole host of surprising changes.
We know work on Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse continued right down to the wire, so many of these edits may well have been made to ensure the sequel better fit the vision of its creative team.
After all, we've heard producer Phil Lord ran a very tight ship in that respect!
From Miles G. Morales' appearance to the battle between Earth-1610's Spider-Man and Miguel O'Hara, these are surprisingly big changes to the movie most of us watched in theaters a couple of months ago. There's nothing too earth-shattering, but they're nonetheless significant.
Spider-Man: Beyond the Spider-Verse recently lost its 2024 release date and is now coming "TBD." With rumblings that the movie won't be released until 2026, we'll have to sustain ourselves by combing through this amazing sequel until Sony Pictures share an update.
