Spider-Man: Across The Spider-Verse is chock full of hidden details, Easter eggs, and cameos, and there"s no way to catch them all in one viewing.
Summary
Buried within the dimensional travel, fast-paced action sequences, and densely populated animated backgrounds are a whole slew of details, Easter eggs, and references that make Spider-Man: Across The Spider-Verse a treat to re-watch. The only downside to so much content to unpack in a single film is that only one viewing just isn't enough to appreciate all the love Sony Pictures Animation poured into the movie. Before Miles Morales' cliffhanger ending can be paid off, going back through the film with a fine-toothed comb to unearth easily missed details is a great way to tide fans over.

Phil Lord and Christopher Miller were no strangers to animation prior to their success with the Spider-Verse series, heading ambitious projects with recognizable names with The Lego Movie and Clone High. References to both films have made their way into the Spider-Verse series, Lord and Miller not being able to resist filling out some of the background with art that alludes to their previous work. But one more surprising work that the duo has been attached to, Cloudy With A Chance Of Meatballs, finally gets its own brief allusions in Spider-Man: Across The Spider-Verse.
Written and directed by Lord and Miller, Cloudy With A Chance Of Meatballs is given two brief visual tie-ins throughout the film. In Spider-Bites holographic room, Flint Lockwood's FLDSMDFR, or the Flint Lockwood Diatonic Super Mutating Dynamic Food Replicator, makes a background appearance. The multiversal lore of the film could actually canonize a version of Cloudy With A Chance Of Meatballs in the Spider-Verse, with Margo's futuristic dimension perhaps taking place in a universe where Flint Lockwood's inventions were met with more mainstream success.
9 Web-Slinger's Duel Includes A Sunset One Of Many Stand-Offs As Miles Escapes The Spider-Society![]()
With so many Spider-Men and Spider-Women appearing in Spider-Man: Across The Spider-Verse, the best designs are the ones that stand out from the crowd of red and blue with something unique. Among the horde of Spider-People that get less of a spotlight in the epic sprawl and subsequent chase scenes of Nueva York, Web-Slinger stands out with his Western-inspired aesthetic, complete with a horse sidekick. Though brief, his encounter with Miles is punctuated with a clever artistic flair evoking his theme.
Ever the fair hero, Web-Slinger gives Miles Morales a sporting chance even after getting the drop on him, prompting him to draw on the count of three, only for Miles to beat him to the draw. Despite this duel only lasting for a split second, the film uses a few precious frames to actually create a sunset background behind Web-Slinger and Miles for just a moment, further styling their impromptu duel as a classic high-noon exchange of quick-drawing skill. Luckily for Miles, he had no problems with this miniature sun getting in his eyes before dispatching the Spider-Cowboy.
8 Chris Miller's Cough Returns As A Running Gag It's Been A Running Joke Since 2014![]()
Even the very opening credits aren't safe from being a platform for Lord and Miller to insert their own referential flair into the film. Chris Miller's cough, first accidentally recorded during the filming of 22 Jump Street, has become a mainstay joke of Miller and Lord's projects since, making its way into the theatrical opening credits of most of the director/producer duo's projects. In Spider-Man: Across The Spider-Verse, the moment is given some extra punctuation with a classic comic-style caption simply reading "Cough!" giving the in-joke a bit of superhero flair.
7 Hobie's Plan Is Done In Plain Sight Spider-Punk Became An Instant Fan-Favorite Close One of the most well-received new designs to enter the Spider-Verse in the second film, few new characters made as big an impression as Spider-Punk, a.k.a. Hobie Brown. Between his hatred of the establishment, unique animation style, and critical importance to the story as one of Miles' few true allies, Hobie Brown has quickly become a fan favorite. The film's reveal of Spider-Punk creating his own version of Miguel O'Hara's dimension-hopping bracelets was a great turning point for Miles' story.
Funnily enough, Hobie's plan isn't terribly well-hidden. During his walk with Miles to take him to meet Spider-Man 2099 for the first time, Hobie is seen messing around, fiddling with random objects in O'Hara's lab, seemingly for giggles. But it's easy to miss that Hobie is actually stealing the parts he needs to create his own bracelet during these antics, shielding his plan behind his bombastic personality. This setup and payoff is just one tiny example of what makes Hobie so great, making it all the more surprising that Spider-Punk was almost cut from the film.
6 Tom Holland’s Personal Hero Cameos In Miles’ Room Holland's Spider-Man Has Yet To Appear![]()
Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse has a staggering amount of casual references injected into the cluttered backgrounds, one of the most obscure of which is a reference to the real world. In Miles and Ganke Lee's room, a poster of South Korean soccer star Hueng-min Son gets a blink-and-you'll-miss-it appearance. Establishing Miles or Ganke's fandom of the legendary athlete, the poster's inclusion is a nod to fellow Spider-Man Tom Holland, to whom Son is a personal hero.
5 Alfred Molina Returns As Doc Ock Molina Only Appears In Voice Close After the inclusion of multiverse-traveling Spider-Men in the MCU's Spider-Man: No Way Home, fans were eager for some live-action Spider-Man representation in the second Spider-Verse film. Sure enough, archival footage of both Toby Maguire and Andrew Garfield's classic portrayals made the cut, showing up in holographic form as Miguel O'Hara explained the concept of canon events to his new recruit. However, Maguire and Garfield weren't the only ones to make a reappearance via archival footage.
One actor, Alfred Molina, actually reprised his role via entirely re-used sound bites. Otto Octavius' Superior Spider-Man is counted among the crowd of web-slingers chasing down Miles, Molina's performance from Spider-Man: No Way Home getting a second lease on life during the chase scene. This clever nod to Superior Spider-Man's origins demonstrates the film's true passion for and understanding of its source material.
4 Spider-Punk's Canon Event May Have Been Very Personal Specifics Of Hobie's Past Are Left Unclear![]()
In Spider-Man: Across The Spider-Verse, Miguel O'Hara explains the concept of Spider-Verse canon events. Connecting all who wear the mask of Spider-Man, canon events describe the tragedies of every Spider-Man's life, connecting the superhero's different versions across the multiverse. These events include the death of a police captain close to Spider-Man's secret identity, no matter the universe.
Strangely, a small costume choice of Spider-Punk may allude to how this event shook out for Hobie Brown. In punk culture, "shoelace code" ascribes meaning to different colors of shoelaces, with blue shoelaces indicating that someone had personally killed a police officer. Sure enough, Spider-Punk's boots are laced blue, which may allude to his own tragic killing of a police captain in a canon event, Hobie possibly being forced to choose between his values and his loved ones, ultimately going with the latter.
3 Miles' Creators Are Name Dropped Bendis and Pichelli Appear In Name![]()
Despite being such a popular character, Miles Morales' creators are yet to become household names to the degree of Stan Lee or Jack Kirby. Luckily, Spider-Man: Across The Spider-Verse does its part to pay homage to Miles' progenitors, including their names at several key points. Writer Brian Michael Bendis and Illustrator Sara Pichelli are given their dues on a mural next to Jefferson Davis, the names "Bendis" and "Pichelli" being spray-painted in green text next to the late police captain in Earth-42's version of events.
2 Insomniac's Spider-Man Shows Up Twice He's The Only Video Game Cameo So Far Close Pulling from every version of the character they could think of, Phil Lord and Christopher Miller left no stone unturned when it came to finding Spider-Men and Spider-Women they could include in Nueva York's Spider Society. Of course, this led to the first on-screen appearances of Spider-Men from TV shows, films, and comics in many years. But Lord and Miller didn't think twice about including video games as well, granting Insomniac's Spider-Man two appearances.
Starting with Spider-Man for the Playstation 4 in 2018, Insomniac's recent take on the character has become a beloved interpretation of Spider-Man that is standing the test of time. In Spider-Man: Across The Spider-Verse, the game's sequel itself makes an appearance as Miles' roommate Ganke Lee slacks of on his studies to play the game, an amusing prospect considering Lee's disinterest in working with his world's real Spider-Man. Insomniac's Peter Parker shows up in earnest later in Nueva York, his full CGI model swinging alongside some of the best.
1 Miles Association With The Number 42 Continues To Deepen 42 Is Like A Reference To Jackie Robinson![]()
Over the course of the film, it's made clear that Miles stands out among his Spider-Peers as being unusual, earning him the ire of Miguel O'Hara simply by existing. The spider that bit him was revealed to have been meant for someone else, phasing into Miles' dimension by freak accident and bestowing him with powers instead. In Spider-Man: Across The Spider-Verse, we get to see the implications for the multiverse at large this has, all revolving around the number 42.
It's revealed that Earth-42 was the Spider's home dimension, something the sequel finally shows at the end with Miles' fakeout return home. The number makes recurring appearances in scenes throughout the film as well, being revealed as an homage to legendary baseball player Jackie Robinson, the first African-American player to enter the Major Leagues, who wore the number on his jersey. This reverent reference highlights the significance of Spider-Man: Across The Spider-Verse's African-American representation via clever detail.
