Recently, the filming of the MCU "Spider-Man 3" has attracted a lot of media reports, but there are actually two works worth paying attention to about the SPIDER-Man IP. One is the 2018 box office hit animated film Spider-Man: Parallel Universes, and the other is the recently released new game "Marvel Spider-Man: Miles Morales". Both works feature a little black spider, and they have recently interacted on social media.
The reason for the incident is that some netizens recently found a bug in the game "Spider-Man: Miles", he accidentally triggered a prop, causing his character to become a street lamp-like electric heater. Although the appearance has changed, Spider-Man's can still use his abilities in the game. As a result, there was a strange scene of street lights shuttling between high-rise buildings, so it also attracted many people to watch this "Spider-Lantern Man".
Among the netizens who are watching, there is the screenwriter of "Spider-Man: Parallel Universe 2". He liked the funny bug and said he "would add this character to the new movie if he still had self-esteem." ”
Although in the eyes of many people, this is just a joke of the screenwriter, but according to the theme and tone of "Parallel Universe", it is really very likely to join this new version of "Spider-Lantern", as a small Easter egg.
Not only that, under the screenwriter's reply, the netizens also discussed a very reliable conjecture, that is, the previously rumored "three generations of Spider-Man in the same frame" may not be a rumor, but the movie that happened is not "Spider-Man 3", but the "Spider-Man: Parallel Universe 2" that has been ignored by everyone.
According to many previous foreign media reports, Sony approached Toby Maguire and Andrew Garfield to discuss the matter of starring in "Spider-Man 3". They analyzed that the negotiation part of the report may indeed be true, but it is not about acting, but about the right to portrait in animated films.
This also explains why the media at that time was full of propaganda about the same frame, but from the current "Spider-Man 3" point of view, there is no movement, probably because the movies that appeared were wrongly analyzed by them.
In addition, the first idea to come up with was the movie "Spider-Man: Parallel Universe". Including the original electric light man actor hinted at "three spiders in the same frame", using the concept art of this animated film. However, at that time, Sony executives denied this idea and said that "now is not the time", so they deleted the little Easter egg.
Now that the first film has achieved unprecedented success and the second one has announced the start of production this year, perhaps the time is ripe for the top. So maybe we will still see three generations of Spider-Man in the same frame, but not in "Spider-Man 3" but "Spider-Man: Parallel Universe 2", although from live-action to animation, but still people are looking forward to it.
Spider-Man: Parallel Universe 2 is currently scheduled to be released on October 7, 2022.
