Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Versewas the recent addition to one of the most beloved superhero series in recent times. Not only did it manage to maintain the hype of the first film, it also outdid it perfectly, not only setting up iconic characters for the next film but also telling an excellent story in a visually stunning manner.
Many would call theSpider-Verseseries a perfect franchise and one of the biggest reasons for this is its directors and animators. It is quite a well-known fact in the film industry at this point thatbeing a VFX artist is not easy. Marvel has gained a reputation for overworking these employees to an extreme degree and it would seem that they are not alone in this.

A Break Was A Requirement
Joaquim Dos Santos, Kemp Powers, and Justin K. Thompson then went on to talk about the transition fromSpider-Man: Across the Spider-VersetoSpider-Man: Beyond the Spider-Verse.These two films have become closely linked in the eyes of the fans as the moment the climax begins to build in the secondSpider-Versefilm, it ends, to be continued in the movie that will follow.
Such a cliffhanger has made the fans turn to the creators of the film with questions about when the next movie will come out. During the interview, Powers spoke on this, revealing that when they were done making the second film, they had their priorities straight.
“I mean, obviously, when we conceptualized it, we broke the story for both of these films, but obviously, this came down to the wire, and I think the immediate priority is to get a little bit of a break for folks.”said Powers
