This may not be a big deal now, but considering Sony’s plans for Spider-Verse spinoffs, it could mean that we’re going to see some of the Avengers showing up somewhere down the line - at least we know for certain they exist in the Spider-Verse. But a throwaway line in a deleted scene between Miles and his parents reveals that Iron Man does actually exist in Miles’ universe. The theatrical version of Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse doesn’t mention any other superheroes or villains outside of the immediate Spider-Man pantheon. Sony Pictures Animation Iron Man exists In Miles’ universe Strangely enough, in this version, Miles absolutely does not want to be Spider-Man while Ganke tries to convince him it’s the right thing to do - almost a complete inversion of the Miles we see in the final cut who has to work hard at convincing Peter to train him at all. The whole chase scene between Miles and the school security guard is omitted in this cut (which means no hilarious Spider-Man Christmas album gag) in favor of Ganke trying to help Miles understand his new abilities - something that Miles is less than thrilled about. This completely changes how Miles handles his change - he’s less isolated and by extension a little less paranoid about what’s happening to him. Jumping from Ganke’s expanded role comes an entirely new origin story for Miles that involves him being bitten by the experimental spider while the two of them are hanging out, not while Miles is working on his graffiti mural with Uncle Aaron. Sony Pictures Animation Another origin all together One thing to note is that Ganke’s storyboarded design is pretty dramatically different from the final version of Miles’ unnamed roommate that shows up in the finished film - it’s probably still Ganke we saw there in the background, but maybe it’s not? Maybe the Spider-Verse incarnation of Ganke is being saved for a sequel. Ganke is even one of the main reasons Miles is still a little on the fence about trying to quit Brooklyn Visions Academy. The Alternate Universe cut builds up Miles and Ganke’s friendship right away. Marvel Cinematic Universe fans will also probably recognize him as the inspiration for Ned Leeds in Spider-Man: Homecoming, but that’s another issue entirely. Fans of Miles who made the jump from the comics will recognize Ganke immediately as a pretty major part of Miles’ life - he is his best friend, constant confidant, and one of the only people who is in on Miles’ secret. One of the most prominent changes in the Alternate Universe cut is the inclusion of a totally new character: Ganke Lee, Miles’ roommate, who only appears in the background (and one brief gag) in the theatrical version. They showcase the movie that may have been - and they might just give us a peek at the future of the Spider-Verse. We sat down with the Alternate Universe mode and handpicked some of the most dramatic (and hilarious) differences. Miles’ world was almost a very, very different place full of totally new characters, plot lines, and a whole new origin story. The “Alternate Universe mode” features an entirely revised story, pieced together from unfinished board sequences and animatics, that clocks in at a little over two hours long. Spider-Man: No Way Home, the conclusion to Spider-Man’s first MCU trilogy, saw Holland’s Peter Parker unite with Tobey Maguire’s and Andrew Garfield’s versions of the characters from earlier films to battle villains from across the multiverse.Spider-Man: Into The Spider-Verse went above and beyond the home video call of duty by including a whole alternative film in its special features, instead of just the requisite deleted scenes. In Spider-Man: No Way Home, this line is given to May, who also imparts the lesson shortly before her tragic death. Most versions of Spider-Man’s story have Uncle Ben teach Peter the mantra, “With great power comes great responsibility,” soon before Ben is killed by a criminal and Peter accepts his duty to become a hero. True to Spider-Man’s comic book origins, May raised the young superhero from a young age, but the movies adjusted his beginnings by making no overt reference to his Uncle Ben. In the Marvel Cinematic Universe, May Parker has been portrayed by Marissa Tomei since the first film in the Spider-Man trilogy, titled Spider-Man: Homecoming. I always like to capture the emotion of a scene in my keyframes, so this was a wonderful shot to be assigned.” The impact of Aunt May’s death in Spider-Man: No Way Home In an earlier version of the script, this moment took place in an ambulance racing to the nearest hospital. A post shared by Phil Saunders caption on the art explains, “#Spiderman #nowayhome has one of the most poignant moments in the #mcu, the death of #peterparker’s beloved Aunt May.
