Many wonder why there is no post-credits scene ‘Spider-Man: Crossing the Multiverse’ (‘Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse’) when he leaves everything in suspense with a great cliffhanger for the second part, which will be titled ‘Beyond the multiverse’. After an overwhelming success at the box office, the producers and writers have revealed that there was a scene written, but they decided that they should not modify anything from the end point of this chapter.
The existential journey of The Spot
According to the producer Phil Lord to IndieWire, nothing they tried fit, however, there was a promising idea that was scrapped as a continuation of a never finished scene in the film which included Spot or Mancha (Jason Schwartzman), the strange-looking nemesis who is all white with black spots that serve as interdimensional portals. This is how he tells it:
“It was hard to pick up where we left off. The first scene had Spot hanging out at a Spidey villain bar, but he couldn’t get a drink because no one noticed he was there. He finally steals the drink for himself and pours it and it all leaks out of his hole. He is the dumbest villain. However, a great line that Chris Miller wrote said that he ‘he tries to fill a hole in his heart with more holes’. It’s not a great method.”
Schwartzman, however, was fascinated by the bizarre existential crisis of his character.
“I was really interested and curious about a person who is missing things. And he’s pretty much on the same path as Miles Morales, only he took the darker route. He feels left out and alone and wants to be seen and appreciated like we all do.”
However, after starting out as a bumbling villain who can’t even rob an ATM, Spot eventually becomes a serious threat to the Spider-Verse. He gains strength from a Super Collider and learns to control portals from it.
In the proposed post-credits scene, Spot returns to the villain bar as a great enemy., sit proud in the coveted booth and dispatch all the bad guys who previously taunted him. According to alan hawkinschief character animation:
“That was one of my favorite things, watching this guy get humiliated and then come back and, with just a whisper, demolish every single person that gets close to him. But you have to have both sequences for it to work.”
