Audiences probably didn't buy a ticket to "Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse" specifically because they love multiverses so much it's the fan-favorite character and the phenomenal animation that are the stars of this series. ![]() In years between the first and second "Spider-Verse" films, the notion of infinite planes of existence has become commonplace enough that it almost feels like a cliche. Consider this: Only four years after that film served as a multiverse primer, "Everything Everywhere All at Once" - a film about multiverses (and powerful bagels) - would win seven Academy Awards, including best picture. Although the notion was vaguely referenced in 2016's "Doctor Strange," the MCU's multiverse didn't really get kicking until 2019's "Avengers: Endgame."

That means "Into the Spider-Verse" should get substantial credit for making multiverses mainstream.
