LEGO Movie Director Envious of Spider-Verse 2 Trailer Recreated in LEGO
LEGO enthusiasts create a stunning brick-for-brick recreation of 'Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse' trailer, leaving director Phil Lord in awe The fan-made trailer perfectly mimics the movie's animation and style, giving a glimpse of what the upcoming film would look like if created using the world-renowned toy bricks
A fan-made recreation of the second trailer for Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse using LEGO bricks has caught the attention of Phil Lord, one of the directors and producers for the film. The trailer, which utilizes the animation and realistic style of the LEGO Movie franchise, offers a glimpse of what the upcoming Marvel movie would look like if it was made using the popular toy line. Lord, who wrote and directed The Lego Movie and is also involved in the Spider-Verse films, praised the impressive LEGO trailer on Twitter.
Lord's desire for the complete LEGO adaptation of the movie is incredibly amusing, particularly in light of the speculations about Miles Morales' appearance in a LEGO dimension within the Spider-Verse.
What has become of the LEGO Movie franchise?
Putting aside the Spider-Verse, it is quite peculiar that the beloved LEGO Movie franchise has come to a halt, especially after the success of the first two films and their spin-offs, The LEGO Batman Movie and The LEGO Ninjago Movie. This is likely due to the new deal struck in 2020 between Universal Pictures and the LEGO Movie franchise, which has effectively barred the franchise from using characters and properties owned by Warner Bros, such as DC superheroes. Nonetheless, it is reasonable to assume that the franchise's future is being developed, even if it means a complete reboot.
Despite the fact that the possibility of Across the Spider-Verse being turned into a LEGO movie is still up in the air, it remains an exciting concept. This adaptation would be a fantastic way to pay homage to Lord and Miller's previous work with a hint of fun. Additionally, LEGO bricks would make for a creative medium to showcase a new dimension in the expansive Spider-Verse, reminiscent of the multiverse-jumping scene in Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness, where Strange and America Chavez briefly transformed into various colors of paint.
Moreover, the dedication and hard work demonstrated by LegoMe_TheOG have undoubtedly paid off, as evidenced by the immense number of views their video has amassed, not to mention Phil Lord's response. Though a LEGO Movie may not currently be in development, exceptional fan trailers like this one help to fill the void in the meantime. Fans can anticipate the release of Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse in theaters on June 2nd.
