While the video game nod makes for a begrudgingly clever bit of cross-marketing, it also serves as a bit of a mind fuck when you realize Insomniac’s Spider-Man is one of the bazillion Spider-Men hunting Miles in Across the Spider-Verse trailers.

Does everybody in the movies know Peter is Spider-Man because they played the first game? Why do I smell toast?

Across the Spider-Verse earned $120.5 million domestically in its opening weekend, making it the third-best opening weekend for a Spider-Man movie. The first is Spider-Man: No Way Home ($260 million) and Spider-Man 3 ($151 million), according to Box Office Mojo.
Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 launches later this fall.
