The main plot of Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse is about the existence of multiple universes that are parallel to the one the movie is primarily set in, but which all differ from one another to varying degrees.įor example, in Miles Morales’s universe, Morales gets bitten by a special spider that somehow gives him powers, and then watches Peter Parker, a.k.a., Spider-Man die - a shift from what happens in Spider-Gwen’s universe, where she gets bitten by a distinctly radioactive spider, ends up with powers, and then watches Peter Parker die. 2) The second scene introduces us to Oscar Isaac’s Spider-Man 2099 The scene ends with a thank-you addressed to both Lee and his Spider-Man co-creator Steve Ditko. But in light of his death, it’s a touching reminder of how this man who was responsible for changing so many people’s lives saw goodness in the world. The meaning of the quote - which comes from an interview Lee once gave about heroism - is self-explanatory. “That person who helps others simply because it should or must be done, and because it is the right thing to do, is indeed, without a doubt, a real superhero,” the quote reads. It contains a quote from Stan Lee, the co-creator of Spider-Man who died on November 12 after a long and legendary career in the comics industry.

The first Into the Spider-Verse credits scene is actually more of a title card.

1) The first scene is a tribute to Stan Lee and Steve Ditko So its two post-credits scenes are a bit more specific to the movie and to the history of Spider-Man than usual. The movie isn’t currently connected to Sony’s Spider-Man and Venom superhero properties or cinematic universe (though Sony could certainly change this in the future).

Sometimes, they contain huge reveals that hint at future films (see: Thanos intercepting Thor’s Asgardian spaceship at the end of Thor: Ragnarok, which nodded toward Avengers: Infinity War).īut with Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse, things are a little different. Though Marvel is most famous for them, they’re something that fans look forward to every time a major movie studio - Marvel, Fox, Sony, Warner Bros. Over the past several years, mid- and post-credits scenes have become a superhero movie tradition. The second is a jokey callback to the dimension-jumping aspect of the movie. The first is a tribute to Stan Lee, the co-creator of Spider-Man who died in November, and a thank-you to Lee’s Spider-Man co-creator, Steve Ditko. Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse, Sony’s animated Spider-Man feature film, has two post-credits scenes. Do not read any further if you don’t want to be spoiled!
