Why Uncle Aaron Had To Look Meaner In Across The Spider-Verse
Previous concept art for Earth-42's Miles' transformation from vigilante to The Prowler, hints that they are not simply villains. However, with the direct connection between Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse and Spider-Man: Beyond the Spider-Verse, the movie introduces a mysterious element to Miles and Aaron, leaving some viewers pondering their true nature. This deliberate cliffhanger creates ambiguity, heightening anticipation for the next installment.
The unsettling appearance of Miles and Aaron plays with audience expectations following Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse. It is possible that their disconcerting look serves a purpose within this particular universe, distinguishing them from other realities. Earth-42 remains largely unknown, adding to the excitement surrounding the forthcoming Spider-Man: Beyond the Spider-Verse, which promises to delve deeper into this reality. If all goes as planned, with a scheduled release in March 2024, eager audiences will only have to wait less than a year for the answers they seek.
The main concern currently is the extent to which Sony will promote Earth-42 in its marketing for Spider-Man: Beyond the Spider-Verse. Considering the level of secrecy surrounding Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse, it is reasonable to assume that they will withhold a significant amount of plot information, particularly regarding Earth-42. As of now, Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse is scheduled for release on Blu-ray and DVD on Sept. 5.
