More About Spider-Man: Across The Spider-Verse

In an exclusive clip from Screen Rant, Art Director Dean Gordon explains the inspiration behind Gwen Stacy's world in Spider-Man: Across The Spider-Verse. He highlights her comic books as the source of inspiration and emphasizes that in her world, Earth-65, the primary colors of cyan, orange, and violet are distinct from our world's yellow, red, and blue. This stark contrast visually differentiates Gwen's world at a fundamental level. Visual Effects Supervisor Mike Lasker further describes Gwen's world as wet, brushy, and characterized by dripping paint.

The sequel, Spider-Man: Across The Spider-Verse, delves into multiple universes beyond what the first movie presented. Whereas Into The Spider-Verse showcased heroes and their distinct visual styles in Miles' world, the sequel demonstrates the differences between worlds, with Gwen's universe serving as a prime example. Its unique primary colors and watercolor-inspired art style set it apart. The seamless blending of these characters, even in drastically different worlds, stands as one of the film's most remarkable animation achievements.
