Branched Timeline Visual

One of the most crucial ways that Across the Spider-Verse ties itself to the MCU is through the representation of the multiverse on-screen. While Into the Spider-Verse embraced the idea of the multiverse years before the MCU did, the way that the multiverse is explained in both franchises seems to indicate that they are one and the same. In the new Spider-Verse film, Spider-Man 2099 Miguel O’Hara explains that the “arachno-humanoid-polymultiverse,” as he calls the Spider-Verse, exists within the overall multiverse. To show this, a familiar visual of thin white lines branching into separate realities is shown, which the Spider-Verse is then overlaid on top of. This visualization of the multiverse is identical to how the branching “sacred timeline” has been shown in MCU stories such as Loki, What…If?, Spider-Man: No Way Home and Ant-Man and the Wasp Quantumania. This similarity implies that the Spider-Verse films, even though they are not produced by Marvel Studios, are operating in the same wide multiverse as the rest of the MCU’s Multiverse Saga.
