The colour of Miles ' spidey - sense when he match Peter Parker inInto the Spider - Verseforeshadows a plot of land twist inAcross the Spider - Verse .
Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verseis finally here, and it’s already being hailed as one of thebest moviesof the year. In fact, it’s currently thehighest rated movie of all timeon Letterboxd, and it’s only been out for a few days.
A sequel toInto the Spider-Verse, this movie follows Miles Morales/Spider-Man (Shameik Moore) as he enters a wild adventure through the multiverse where he encounters a team of Spider-People, including Gwen Stacy (Hailee Steinfeld), who are charged with protecting its very existence.
Like the first movie,Across the Spider-Versedoes an impeccable job at telling this story of Miles, diving deeper into the multiverse, and utilizing various animation styles incredibly well.
WhileAcross the Spider-Verseis packed withEastereggs and details — it will literally take me going frame-by-frame when the movie hits digital for me to catch even half of them, I swear — what’s also amazing is how well this movie was foreshadowed inInto the Spider-Verse. So much so that there are a ton of great details in the first movie that are even better after watching the sequel.
So, with that being said, I recently rewatchedInto the Spider-Verse, so here are some amazing details, Easter eggs, and more that are SO good because of how they connect toAcross the Spider-Verse:
🚨 THERE ARE plainly MASSIVE coddler AHEAD FORSPIDER - MAN : ACROSS THE SPIDER - VERSE ! 🚨
1.First, right before Miles is bitten, the spider swinging down glitches several times, which is now an obvious sign that this spider is not from Miles' Earth.
2.And you can clearly see a “42” written on the back of the spider that bites Miles. Of course, inAcross the Spider-Verse,we learn that the spider that bit Miles was from Earth-42.
3.When Miles swings and falls from a building inInto the Spider-Verse, you’ll see he lands between the numbers 4 and 2. A reference to Miles being bit by a spider from Earth-42.
4.InInto the Spider-Verse, the number 42 also pops up on the price tag for the Spider-Man costume Miles buys from Stan. Again, another nod to Earth-42, which is explored more inAcross the Spider-Verse.
5.Also, the lottery ball number that is seen in the beginning ofInto the Spider-Versereads “42,” another nod to Earth-42 and its connection to our Miles Morales.
6.When Miles captures Peter B., he ties him to a punching bag, which is exactly how Earth-42 Miles, aka Prowler-Miles, and Uncle Aaron capture our Miles at the end ofAcross the Spider-Verse.
7.Also, Peter B. escapes Miles' little trap and gives him his first lesson: “Don’t watch the mouth, watch the hands.” I’m only assuming Miles will use this trick to escape, as we see him using his shock powers on the chains he’s tied up with, but Prowler-Miles is too distracted talking to Miles to notice inAcross the Spider-Verse.
8.InAcross the Spider-Verse, when The Spot is telling Miles about how he became The Spot, he mentions how Miles hit him with a bagel. You can see this exact moment inInto the Spider-Versewhen Miles and Peter B. are trying to escape Dr. Olivia Octavius.
Fans have hilariously pointed out howSpider-Man: Across the Spider-VerseandEverything Everywhere All at Onceboth involve bagels being important to the multiverse.

9.At one point inInto the Spider-Verse, we see Miles' spidey-senses tingle when he meets his Earth’s Peter Parker, but they are purple and green before they shift to blue and red. The Prowler’s signature colors are purple and green, so this foreshadows the twist of Prowler-Miles from Earth-42.
10.When Peter Parker is introducing himself in the beginning ofInto the Spider-Verse, he says how he has a “so-so popsicle.” InAcross the Spider-Verse, when Miles is being chased by all of the Spider-People, the popsicle is one of the Spider-Man variantschasing him.
11.When Miles visits Uncle Aaron, you can seeCommunitySeason 2, Episode 1 is playing on the TV. In the episode,Donald Glovercan be seen dressed as Spider-Man, and it started a fan campaign of people wanting Donald to play Spider-Man. InAcross the Spider-Verse,Donald makes a cameo as an alternate version of Aaron/Prowler.
12.When Gwen tells her story inInto the Spider-Verse, she mentions how herbest friend, Peter Parker, died. Of course, inAcross the Spider-Verse, we watch this whole moment play out as the opening of the movie.
13.You can also see Peter shift from Lizard to Peter inInto the Spider-Verse, which again, is explained in more detail when we follow Gwen’s life and what led to her joining Miguel and Jessica inAcross the Spider-Verse.
14.InInto the Spider-Verse, when we meet Peter B., he mentions how he and MJ broke up because she wanted kids and he wasn’t ready. Then, inAcross the Spider-Verse, he has a daughter and tells Miles he finally felt ready because of him.
15.When Fisk’s super-collider goes off in the beginning of the movie, the black spots are much more obvious now that we know about The Spot and his connection to everything. Even when the other Spider-People come to Miles' Earth, the spots on the portals are so obvious now.
16.While I’m not sure this is on purpose, when Miles paints his mural with Uncle Aaron inInto the Spider-Verse, his silhouette looks a lot like The Spot, with black and white being the main colors. Again, might be reaching here, but it’s something I paused at while rewatching.
17.And finally, in theInto the Spider-Versepost-credits scene, we see Miguel make his first multiverse jump to Earth-67, where he clearly is trying to recruit that Earth’s Spider-Man to join his Spider-Society. Of course, they instead get into an argument about pointing.
