Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse may have been welcomed with open arms at the beginning of June as one of the finest superhero movies of the decade so far, maybe even the finest, but new intel from behind the scenes tells a much less positive story. Several artists who contributed to the film have claimed that producer Phil Lord put them through incredibly grueling working conditions, something that casts his one-time firing from the Star Wars universe in a new light.
According to first-hand accounts shared with Vulture, due to Lord’s insistence on making significant changes to both the story and visuals of Across the Spider-Verse throughout production, animators were forced to to work “11 hours a day, seven days a week, for more than a year,” something that caused as many as 100 crewmembers to depart over the course of development.
