10 Movie Secrets Hidden In Single Frames

Kicking things off with a rather brilliant opening montage highlighting how Chris Pine's version of the web slinger had come into being, Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse wasted little time letting you know precisely what it was all about as its signature brand of pulsating animation and razor sharp wit bled onto our screens.

Front-and-centre was one particularly hilarious beat involving this Peter Parker noting how he was the subject of a "so-so popsicle" which resembled what Spidey's mug would likely look like if smooshed by a tentacle brandishing big bad.

As it goes, that's precisely how it would look, with the talented folks behind the scenes lacing a brilliantly brief callback to that gag in a brief skirmish between Spider-Man and Doc Ock not long after.

If you pause the frame exactly at the right moment during said early highlight package of sorts, you'll see that Spidey's head pretty much lines up with that dodgey ice lolly perfectly as he's strangled by his infamous enemy and Phil Lord would even admit this Easter egg very much being a thing later down the road, too.
