Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Versegave the audience a glimpse into many different universes. Concept art shows a Jack Kirby world that didn’t make the final cut but looks visually interesting.
Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verseintroduced new parts of the Spider-Verse, each with its own unique visuals and animation. The film opens with Spider-Gwen’s beautiful watercolor world that changed with her mood. Then fans see The Spot jump through dimensions andenter the LEGO Spider-Man universe. Additionally, fans see Mumbattan, Nueva York, and ending with Earth 42; the film was packed with different universes.

Concept artistAymeric Kevinshows what it might’ve been like if Miles and Gwen had traveled to a Kirby world inSpider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse. Kirby helpedco-create the Marvel comics universe with Stan Lee, Steve Ditko, Bill Everett, and Don Heck. Kirby co-created Captain America, The Fantastic Four, The Avengers, The X-Men, and many more. He was known for some of his vibrant colors, especially in some of his space and psychedelic work. This concept art does a great job of capturing that.
The artist responsible for thisSpider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse concept art says, “this was just a pitch, not tied to any story.” This would explain why they are in a talking spaceship that never appeared in the movie. This concept may have also been made before the creators decided on Miles' suit for the film. Miles is still wearing his suit from the end of his first movie. However, we see Gwen using the watch to jump dimensions, so the concept art gives a behind-the-scenes look at what artists knew about the story at this stage of production.
Some fans hope to see this world in the sequel,Spider-Man: Beyond the Spider-Verse. One fan replied to the tweet saying, “I hope we get to see this inBeyond The Spider-Verse,” and another said, “They Probably saving it forBeyond.” It is a fun theory that could hold some truth, as both movies were initially just one before being split into two parts. This concept art was seemingly pitched early in development, maybe even before the film was divided into two parts. However, it is unlikely that an artist would share concept art if it’s in the next movie.
This would have been a great tribute to a Marvel Comics legend who sometimes gets overshadowed by other comic book creators. It would be great tosee it inSpider-Man: Beyond the Spider-Verse,although that seems doubtful.
