Exclusive: Shocking Deleted Scene from Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse Unveils Unprecedented Villain for Sequel!

Highlights

Deleted scene from Into the Spider-Verse suggests that Kathryn Hahn's Doc Ock was originally planned as the villain in Across the Spider-Verse.

Doc Ock's desire to explore the multiverse possibly resulted in the formation of a Sinister Six comprising alternate versions of himself, commonly referred to as the "Council of Doc Ocks."

In the franchise, Liv, portrayed by Kathryn Hahn, held a prominent antagonist role and potentially orchestrated The Spot's transformation into a menace across multiple dimensions.

Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse took The Spot from being an ordinary weekly adversary to a formidable threat across multiple dimensions, serving as Miles Morales' archenemy. However, a deleted scene from Into the Spider-Verse has recently surfaced, hinting at the initial plan for the sequel's main antagonist.

As Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse becomes available digitally, fans have begun to uncover previously unnoticed details. They have also noticed discrepancies between the theatrical release and the digital version of the film. Moreover, fans are revisiting Into the Spider-Verse and discovering the clever foreshadowing and connections between the two movies. Now, someone has identified a connection between a deleted scene from Into the Spider-Verse and the villain in its subsequent installments.

A user, known as X, shared a scene involving The Spot's return from his first trip across the multiverse. He exclaims, "The power of the multiverse in the palm of my hand." This statement is then compared to Doctor Octopus, played by Alfred Molina, who says, "The power of the sun in the palm of my hand," in Spider-Man 2. CanWeGetSomeToast quote tweeted this with a deleted scene from Into the Spider-Verse, featuring Kathryn Han's Doc Ock (known as Liv) uttering the same line as The Spot. This has sparked speculation that she could have been the original villain in Across the Spider-Verse.

This theory is intriguing because it would make sense for the scientist who created the super collider and was thrilled to see it work to have a desire to explore the multiverse and potentially cause disruption. This could have led to various possibilities, such as a multiversal Sinister Six or a "Council of Doc Ocks." Furthermore, Rodney Rothman, co-director of Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse, stated in an interview that he considers Hahn's Doc Ock to be "Our most powerful bad guy. She's manipulating a lot of things to achieve her own grand ambitions."

It seems that Liv was intended to be the central antagonist throughout the entire franchise, and this may still be the case. If Liv is manipulating events, she could have used The Spot to push him into becoming a threat across multiple dimensions. In a scene at The Spot's apartment, Miles and Gwen discover a photo of Liv with The Spot, suggesting that he admired her. It's possible that Liv's scene was removed from Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse to avoid making the connection too obvious.

The Spider-Verse movies offer rewatch value with their abundance of Spider-Man easter eggs and references, as well as numerous hidden details that enrich the plot and characters. Fans are encouraged to revisit both films.

Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse is currently available digitally.
