8 Across the Spider-Verse scenes our readers want to see in LEGO

Across the Spider-Verse is enjoying its third weekend in cinemas – and we’re still thinking about what LEGO sets it could inspire.

With a LEGO Spider-Man featured in the Spider-Verse sequel and a teaser posted by the LEGO Group itself, we’re still holding out hope that it’s not too late for some Spider-Verse-themed sets. What’s more, our readers feel the same way.

We took to social media to ask you what the best scenes would be for the LEGO Group to tackle in brick form and you all certainly delivered. As well as a jokey comment of ‘every’ (we fully agree but this might be a bit ambitious), here are eight Across the Spider-Verse scenes that Brick Fanatics readers want to see as LEGO sets.

Warning: spoilers ahead for Across the Spider-Verse in its entirety.

8 – The Spot in the Shop

Our first introduction to the Spot showcases his unique and chaotic abilities perfectly, something that could be very fun to replicate in LEGO elements. We’re thinking disembodied limbs included in the set, perhaps as a buildable big-fig to reflect the Spot’s height, so that you can create holes for the villain to punch through throughout the bodge.

7 – The Spider-People Chase

One of the most iconic scenes of the movie is the Spider-People chase, where Spider-Men, Spider-Women, and even a Spider-Horse and a Spider-Popsicle chase Miles down to stop him from preventing his canon event. While a structured set might be tricky, it could be an incredible theme for a Collectible Minifigure range, with each minifigure reflecting a different version of the web-slinging hero.

6 – Train Chase

An element of the chase that would be easier to create an actual set from is the train section, where Miles is largely chased only by Miguel O’Hara. The train itself could serve as the base, as well as various web elements to reflect the vicious battle between Miguel and Miles. Other minifigures could include Jessica Drew, Peter and Mayday Parker, and Gwen.

5 – The Vulture Museum Scene

Miles first meets both Miguel and Jessica Drew while battling the Vulture. The contrasting styles of both the Spider-People and the Vulture would make for a cool design challenge, as well as the unique layout of the Guggenheim making an excellent foundation for a brick-built structure.

4 – Miles’ Apartment

One reader also suggested replicating Miles’ apartment in the same style as 76200 Bro Thor’s New Asgard. While a small diorama like this could be fun, packed with plenty of references to the film, the surprise ending of Across the Spider-Verse also invites another style of LEGO set. For example, 75810 The Upside Down, with the dual scene possibilities, could provide inspiration for two versions of the apartment: one where Gwen is speaking to Miles’ real parents and then Universe 42, where Miles is now stranded.

3 – Miguel’s Lab

One of the most dramatic entrances to the film is Miguel O’Hara, with his comically slow dramatic glide down on his platform. This would not only make for a fun interactive element with a moving platform, but the scene just before Miles is sent to 42 could also be represented with orange transparent elements to replicate the portal he escapes through.

2 – Meet the Prowler

Close on the heels of this daring escape, the 42 scene with Prowler Miles could also be a fun set to capture. Not only would it offer two versions of Miles as a minifigure, but it would also be a vibrant colour scheme, with the animation in the film reflecting both 42 Miles’ Prowler colours and original Miles’ Spider-Man colours.

1 – Collider Energy

The final entry on the list is another minifigure-focused set, putting forward the Spot absorbing the collider. As well as being a pivotal moment in the film, it’s also a way to get Miles, Gwen, Pavitir, and Hobie altogether, as well as, of course, the Spot. With the barrier that pops up to protect the Spot, as well as the collider itself, there would still be enough scenery to create an engaging brick-built display.

Of course, there’s been no word on any actual Spider-Verse sets on their way – but we can dream!

I write about all the very best fandoms – and that means LEGO, of course. Spending so much time looking at and talking about LEGO sets is dangerous for my bank balance, but the LEGO shelves are thriving. You win some, you lose some.

    Off the record: you can find A LOT of spidermen variants and even the ones from the spiderverse movies looking for them on aliexpress. They are in fact knock-offs, not Lego brand, but when the main brand lacks… with the years the chinese have developed VERY good prints on minifigures, even those never created by lego! The material is not as good as the plastic from Lego, but it’s actually not bad. Thanks to that I have tons (and I mean more than a hundred) figures of both DC and Marvel characters, some old ones from Lego I never had a grasp on (and now cost 20 or more euros for only a single figure) and a lot of figures never done by Lego. The last I picked were the ones from the spiderverse, including the Spot and the Scorpion variant of the first movie, which is an impressive figure! And the kingpin, green goblin and prowler too; Also a mutant spiderman with a spider head and 6 arms, a spiderman 2099 both on the blue and red and the white and red suits, and a lot of other spidermen variants. Also a lot of venomized characters, even some from X-men and the symbiote God Knull!

    Again, they may be knockoffs and I wouldn’t really recommend them for sets since the quality shows, but for minifigures is another story… and the kids love them too, not only me! Since Lego has allways worked on the low variety rate, being able to get your hands on so many figures to recreate adventures or scenarios from the comics, or creating new ones with the kids, is just an amazing experience.
