ComicBook.com’s latest Quarantine Watch Party kicked off tonight with a jump in to the animated realm with a unified viewing of Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse around the world. We were joined during the event by co-directors Peter Ramsey, Bob Persichetti, and Rodney Rothman, producers Chris Miller and Phil Lord, and star Shameik Moore who live-tweeted the entire film with us revealing new details about the production, hidden secrets within the movie itself, teases for what is to come in the future, and rules they had for crafting the film. We’ve collected the best reveals from the creative team behind the movie for your viewing below!

The past month has been loaded with special guests for Quarantine Watch Party events. The casts and directors of films including Avengers: Infinity War, Avengers: Endgame (both of which came with epic MCU reveals), Guardians of the Galaxy, Guardians Vol. 2, Doctor Strange, Bloodshot, Birds of Prey, Spider-Man: Homecoming, Deadpool, and more have participated, showing off awesome behind-the-scenes looks (especially in the case of Shazam!) and offering plenty of exclusive filmmaker details (like the insights from the brilliant mind of Derrickson). Gunn’s Guardians of the Galaxy came with now only some fun reveals about the 2014 movie, along with its sequel, while offering up teases of Guardians Vol. 3 but also created a worldwide Twitter trend.
Leopardon is coming….

Shameik Moore for live-action Miles?
This would be a dream come true, but I’ll probably be to old for this by the time they are ready https://t.co/8eGmAt0Pea

If it was later on in his life I’d 100 percent do it justice https://t.co/UMith3hHol

Coffee shop names
Just checked the first pitches — some were Hygge, Crema Slow Brew, Fikka Slow Brew, Prétentieux, Accogliente, Crème De la Crème Coffee, L’intégrité … we couldn’t use many cause they ALREADY EXISTED. We got the right one. #QuarantineWatchParty #SpiderVerse https://t.co/W4yRdUKnkS

Rules for the movie
One rule was no dialogue boxes or anything too comic book-y until after Miles is bitten#SpiderVerse #QuarantineWatchParty https://t.co/qXh8gK2fcK

Ganke
Many many many early drafts had this guy but NEVER THIS SHIRT and MAYBE THAT’S WHY HE DIDN’T STAY IN THE MOVIE MUCH #QuarantineWatchParty #SpiderVerse pic.twitter.com/BHzvhc0pAy

Liev Shreiber
Liev Shreiber recorded most of his lines with his nose stuffed with cotton, over ISDN lines from New York, sometimes after midnight, and he still nailed eveything. #SpiderVerse #QuarantineWatchParty

The unseen post-credit scene
True story: My 4-year-old was really upset Peter B. Parker never got to eat a bagel and he made me storyboard a post-credits scene where he got to eat one at home, it’s in my sons room and it really should’vee been in the damn movie #SpiderVerse #QuarantineWatchParty

The original Doc Ock
Turning Doc Ock into a woman was a @bob_persichetti idea. He and Katherine Hahn are friends through their kids. In earlier drafts she was a Big Lebowski type dude. #SpiderVerse #QuarantineWatchParty

“That’s all folks”
Whether Spider-Ham was allowed to say that legally was a real question for several months but thankfully we have a good relationship with our friends at Warner Bros.#QuarantineWatchParty #SpiderVerse

That is…. A LOT of legal pads

Post-credits are sneaky
post credit sequences are a sneaky way to make people watch the credits and pay tribute to all these people who spend their lives making this incredible work which we too often take for granted. These folks are world class at what they do. #SpiderVerse #QuarantineWatchParty

The Too Ambitious post-credit scene
We pitched the Sony brass an ambitious tag involving Spider-Ham, Tobey, Andrew, and Tom. They felt it was “too soon”#SpiderVerse #QuarantineWatchParty https://t.co/E91H1eLysr
