Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse was rated PG by the MPAA. The upcoming sequel hasn't received a rating yet, but it looks like it won't be meant for kids as well, at least, that's what the movie's senior animator is saying.
Ere Santos, senior animator for Sony Pictures Animation's Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse recently sat down for an exclusive interview with The Direct about the upcoming film. Santos revealed that Across the Spider-Verse will have a mature plot that isn't suitable for kids.
"It was really challenging project," Santos shared. "So it was a lot of frustrating times, something every production has. But what kind of kept us going was we'd be frustrated, or something would change, or a sequence was cut, and then we'd see a new render, and we'd be like, 'Okay, alright? Let's go, let's go,' And also, some of the choices characters were making in the story were like, 'What? Okay, all right."
Santos adds, "This is a kid's movie? I guess it's not a kid's movie. Okay, cool. Yeah, that's good.' So it's very, very, super exciting to me."
