Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse Reveals New Links to MCU Multiverse

Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse establishes some pretty big links to the MCU multiverse. In Miles Morales’ latest adventure, he’s on a tour through different universes trying to help Gwen Stacy and the Spider Society. *Spoilers ahead* 

However, Spider-Man 2099 isn’t too keen on having Miles join the Spider Society cause. You see, Miles Morales is the original multiverse anomaly that made everything that went wrong in the first movie possible. Now, the Spider-Society is tasked with protecting the Web of Life and Destiny from moments that would cause it to unravel – including Miles. 

Across the Spider-Verse MCU Multiverse Saga Connections Explained

When Spider-Man 2099 shows off this miraculous configuration of the Web of Life and Destiny, it’s not too dissimilar from Loki Season 1’s sacred timeline and the resulting branching, suggesting the Web of Life is just a sub-section of the larger Marvel Multiverse, specific to those with Spider-powers. That’s going to get a lot of people watching at home thinking – almost as much as seeing Tobey Maguire and Andrew Garfield pop up in images presented to Miles throughout the film. While there are no new performances from either Garfield, Maguire, or current MCU Spider-Man Tom Holland, the connections thicken as Holland’s Peter Parker and his mishap with Doctor Strange and the Multiverse in Spider-Man: No Way Home are directly mentioned by Spider-Man 2099 as another problem the Spider Society may need to address. 

Adding to the commotion is the fact that a live-action version of Donald Glover’s Aaron Davis (seen in Spider-Man: Homecoming) also appears in Across the Spider-Verse as The Prowler, a timeline anomaly locked in the Spider Society’s holding cells. While we don’t know if he’s the exact same version of the character that appeared in Spider-Man: Homecoming. It’s going to raise some eyebrows. On the Internet, people are already wondering if it is the same Aaron Davis or a variant. For now, the mysteries of the Spider-Verse are unfurling all over the web.
