Obviously, there are spoilers for the ending of Into the Spider-Verse .
It’s safe to say that Into the Spider-Verse is a middling movie.

Anyone who’s seen it knows that in order to get home, Miles Morales actually ended up in the universe of the spider that bit him, where he discovered that he in this universe was none other than the villainous Prowler.

“I think another thing that might surprise you is the ending that you just watched, where Spider-Gwen goes out and gathers Peter B., Mayday, Penny, Noel, and Ham, and she gets the band back together to save Mai Well, you’re filled with hope and excitement like, “Oh, they’re going to go back,” and, “Oh, here it comes!” They’re going to get the band back together,’ – which didn’t happen until then about six weeks before the movie ended,” Thompson explained after being asked about something that might surprise fans.
“We actually did a screening and as soon as it ended, Miles was bagged and everyone was like, ‘Shh!’ We were like, ‘Oh my God, what are we going to do? We must do something. ” We ran back and very quickly we started brainstorming and realized. We went back and watched The Empire Strikes Back again and said, “How does The Empire Strikes Back do that?” “We realized, ‘Oh, they give you hope at the end.'”
Powers went on to explain that this last-minute change worked mainly because they already knew what was going to happen in the next scene, “so in our mind we had continuity, like we knew where the story was going. .”
