At least two different versions of the hit animated follow-up to 2018’s ‘Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse’ have been discovered in cinemas, with more potentially to follow.
We weren’t losing our minds! Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse editor Andrew Leviton has confirmed the recently released hit animated film does indeed have multiple versions in cinemas. “I was wondering when people might start noticing…” Leviton remarked in a Twitter post, after eagle eyed (and truly committed) fans started noticing discrepancies in scenes after multiple watches in theaters. Currently, only two theatrical versions have been confirmed.

Along the way, he encounters the Spider Society, a team of Spider-People charged with protecting the Multiverse’s very existence. But when the heroes clash on how to handle a new threat, Miles finds himself pitted against the other Spiders and must set out on his own to save those he loves most.
