Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse has been a huge hit in 2023. Mike Lasker worked on the first film, Into the Spider-Verse and is the Visual Effects Supervisor for the sequel. He came on the podcast in Episode 219 to talk about Into the Spider-Verse. Here, he discusses the massive undertaking to be the Visual Effects Supervisor for Across the Spider-Verse, such a dense and detailed film.

In this episode, Lasker discusses all the characters in the film, and how they all not only had different looks, but also a totally different art style. He discusses the strategy of world-building, and how each universe has a distinctly different look.

He also was asked about the upcoming 3rd film in the series, Spider-Man: Beyond the Spider-Verse, due out in 2024.
