Spider-Man: Into The Spider-Verse - 28 Easter Eggs & References Explained

2. Oscar Isaac As Spider-Man 2099

Spider Man 2099
Marvel Comics

By far one of the coolest Spider-Men to feature in Into the Spider-Verse is the Spider-Man of 2099 - Miguel O'Hara, who's actually played by Oscar Isaac.

Spidey 2099 was created by Peter David and Rick Leonardi, and focuses on the character of Miguel as he attempts to navigate an alternate future dominated by the Alchemax corporation. He also - if you hadn't noticed already - has the best Spider-Man costume.

Of course the way he ends his cameo is even better, but the character's presence raises a whole host of questions. Could we get a spin-off with Isaac's character in the driving seat? We sure hope so!

Content Producer/Presenter

WhatCulture's very own resident movie guy, Ewan has been working in the content creation biz for over 10 years now, having started as a freelance contributor to WhatCulture Gaming all the way back in 2015. After graduating with a First-Class Honours in History from Northumbria University in 2017 (where he won a prize for a totally killer dissertation on the Watergate years), Ewan took on the role of Comics Editor at WhatCulture and quickly developed WhatCulture Comics into one of the biggest superhero-focused channels on YouTube. He followed this with a brief hiatus at Screen Rant in 2021, where he worked across the Gaming and Film sections as a writer and editor, before returning to WhatCulture as a Senior Content Producer / Presenter in 2023. He started his own podcast, We Love Dad Movies, in 2022, and has contributed several written pieces to the Eisner-nominated comics website Shelfdust as well. In his current role, Ewan incorporates his love of cinema, comic books, and history into written pieces and video essays for WhatCulture's Film & TV channel, as well as WhatCulture Gaming and WhatCulture Horror, with a particular focus on nineties-era Dad Movies, old school Westerns, and Golden Age Hollywood Noir. John Carpenter is his fave, and he thinks Batman Beyond should never have been cancelled. If that's your vibe, you'll probably like his stuff.
