'Across the Spider-Verse' Animators Claim Unsustainable Working Conditions

At this point, everyone who’s watched Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse agrees that the sequel is nothing short of a masterpiece. The artwork of the Sony/Marvel title impresses even those who don’t care about animation as an art – but a new report shows that this doesn’t come free of charge.

COLLIDER VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT Spider-Verse Animators and Artists Worked Every Day For a Year For those who stayed, this translated to working seven days a week for at least 11 hours throughout a whole year. According to the sources, even the work of trio of directors Joaquim Dos Santos, Justin K. Thompson, and Kemp Powers was undermined by Phil Lord , who allegedly pushed for final approval for every sequence in the movie.

"There's No Way" Spider-Man: Beyond The Spider-Verse Will Premiere in 2024 Grueling hours and demanding workload seems to be the norm for animators and artists, since it’s not uncommon for these kinds of reports to come forward on big-budget animated movies.

One of the four workers who spoke to Vulture also declared that “there's no way” that Spider-Man: Beyond the Spider-Verse is coming out at the proposed release date, which currently is March 29, 2024. He suggests that both movies were not worked on at the same time, and they had “barely crossed the finish line” when it came time for the second movie to premiere.
