According to CBR, Spider-Man: The

‘Ultimate Spider-Man’

writer John Semper Jr. did not hesitate to use humor in gently mocking Sony when they didn’t even credit him for the Spider-Verse movies, which drew inspiration from the

‘Spider-Verse’

concept presented during the show’s finale.

However, when it came to Spider-Verse, (in a humorous way), he exuberantly mentioned the producers but failed to acknowledge his contribution, especially in the first two movies. He expressed a desire to give a second life to the ’90s Spider-Man show, similar to the revival of X-Men ’97 if it’s still relevant.

The acclaimed cartoon is set in the Marvel Universe (the series that first aired in ’94 and ended in ’98) with all five seasons featuring Peter dealing with his dual identity as Spider-Man, and many other villains joining the team, such as Kingpin, Venom, and other characters.

Semper’s notable work on the show earned him an Annie Award in 1995, particularly for the episode

“Day of the Chameleon.”

The Spider-Verse movie trilogy, including

“Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse”

and

“Across the Spider-Verse,”

has received impressive critical and industry recognition.

The upcoming sequel,

“Spider-Man: Beyond Spider-Verse,”

is a continuation of the “Spider-Verse” movie, and in this installment, the multiversal adventures of Miles Morales continue after the schedule adjustment was announced.
