Mind-Blowing Revelation: Find Out Which Version of Spider-Man: Across The Spider-Verse is the Official Canon!

Highlights

Fans noticed two different versions of Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse in theaters, with slight edits and different lines.

In the digital release, Lyla and Miguel are seen taking a selfie together, accompanied by alternate dialogue from Ben Reilly. The canonical version remains unclear, yet fans now have the opportunity to discover concealed easter eggs and enjoy a fresh experience through the digital release.

Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse has recently been made available digitally, providing answers to a significant question raised by fans regarding the two versions shown in theaters.

After the initial release of Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse in theaters, keen-eyed fans who revisited the film noticed subtle differences between the two versions. An editor involved in the film has verified this observation, assuring that no modifications were made to the plot. However, certain scenes and dialogue in Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse were indeed edited or altered. Speculation suggests that these changes may have been implemented when a revised copy of the film was sent to theaters to address certain audio issues, although this remains unconfirmed.

The initial difference observed by fans was when Miguel requested backup from Lyla. In one version of the scene, Lyla pointed at Miguel, while in the other, she took a selfie with him. The version where Lyla takes a selfie with Miguel is the one that made it to the digital release. This is also the version where Ben Reilly says, "This one's called the sleeper hold, I'm using my bicep to constrict your..." instead of "I've got you trapped in my well-defined musculature, so don't even..."

Across the Spider-Verse revolves around what Miguel refers to as "canon events," which are crucial for every Spider-Man and must occur to avoid the collapse of their entire universe. The release of multiple film versions adds an intriguing aspect to the story. This leaves fans questioning which version is considered canon. Although the digital release may have provided an answer for fans, it raises the concern of whether the other version will become unavailable once it exits theaters.

While certain fans may find it exciting to claim they have watched both iterations of Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse, it is unfortunate that others may miss out on this opportunity. It is hoped that both versions will be made available when Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse is released for streaming in a few months or on DVD/Blu-ray.

Upon its digital release, fans will have the chance to closely examine the numerous hidden easter eggs in Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse. Furthermore, those who have only seen the alternate version of the film in theaters will now be treated to an entirely fresh viewing experience.

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