The images see bouncing about the multiverse opened to him in the 2018 film, not only traveling between worlds but rendered in two dimensions rather than three, signifying an all-new universe for the young hero to cause chaos in. The studio has released three new images and a title card, the latter of which reveals that Across the Spider-Verse will not just be a single sequel film, but rather a two-part story, with the words “Part One” tacked to the bottom, presumably graffitied there by resident multiverse artist, Miles. As part of CCXP Worlds 2021, Sony has released its first set of images from Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse, the animated sequel to the wildly successful Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse from 2018, seeing the return of spidey-sensing hero Miles Morales ( Shameik Moore). He's going to be asked to step into shoes that he feels he's not ready for, he's not going to know the words, and he's going to feel very self-conscious and nervous about that.Spider fever is sweeping the nation, and with the release of Spider-Man: No Way Home just around the corner, it’s only fair that the multiverse’s other spider-people get a hand in the game. "That's the metaphor we're going to be working with for most of the rest of the movie. "We also liked the metaphor this presents: Miles is singing a song that theoretically he's a little too young for and he doesn't know the words yet," Lord and Miller told Vulture. Luckily, Republic Records had the Post Malone and Swae Lee collaboration on deck, and the rest is superhero history. "We were in big trouble when we couldn't use it anymore - we needed to replace one of the greatest songs of the year, and we had to do it in time to spend the three months we would need to animate that shot." We had a feeling it was because people knew the song, and they knew how he was messing it up," they explained. "It was critical that the song gag landed.
Unfortunately, that all changed when they saw Get Out, which introduces us to Daniel Kaluuya's character, Chris, while "Redbone" plays in the background. "We had this idea that if he sang a song that was out of his register, it would make the audience laugh," Rothman and Lord recalled, noting that they had a "foolproof" way of doing so: by having Miles sing along to Childish Gambino's "Redbone." Considering how Donald Glover was linked to playing Miles Morales in a live-action film, it would have fit perfectly. (It's OK, Miles - my upstairs neighbors still don't know the words, either.) It's one of many excellent songs on the soundtrack, but as writers Rodney Rothman and Phil Lord recently revealed to Vulture, "Sunflower" was actually their second choice.
(FOR DAY'S ON END.) Even though I've been permanently scarred by the opening "Ayy, ayy, ayy, ayys," I have to admit that it's the perfect track to introduce us to the movie's lovable protagonist, Miles Morales (Shameik Moore).Īfter a lengthy montage about Peter Parker, voiced by Hollywood's best Chris ( Chris Pine, obviously), the movie cuts to young Miles hanging out in his bedroom with headphones on, stumbling over the lyrics to "Sunflower" as he draws and makes stickers at his desk. You want to know how I knew the dudes who live in the apartment above me had seen Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse? Because shortly after the Oscar nominated-film's release back in December, they started blasting Post Malone and Swae Lee's "Sunflower." Nonstop.
