Before the big reveal, we added the Earth-42 style of inking and splatter to these shots so the world felt different, but not so much that it would be obvious to the viewer. One thing you'll notice is that those heavier ink lines are added to Rio, but not Miles since it's her universe, not his. #AcrossTheSpiderVerse #SpiderManAcrossTheSpiderVerse #SpiderVerse #SpiderMan #MilesMorales

Earth 42 is dark, with criminality rampant. It’s look has a noir aesthetic where colors recede into blocked up shadows and the inking style is heavy and gritty, obliterating light. #AcrossTheSpiderVerse #SpiderManAcrossTheSpiderVerse #SpiderMan #SpiderVerse

CHARLIE VS. THE CHOCOLATE FACTORY, a new animated film starring Kit Connor and Taika Waititi, is coming to Netflix.

Willy Wonka has returned to his factory after years behind bars for the crime of turning a child into a blueberry. Determined to add a little sweetness to a bitter world, only one thing stands in his way: teenager Charlie Paley and a new generation of "rotten" kids.

“It’s going to take you to places of abstraction that I think are going to be really special.”

They also said the threequel remains “on schedule” for a 2027 release and is “the most emotional of the three.”
