Beyond The Spider-Verse Producer Promises No Generative AI In Movie
Chris Miller, the producer of 2018’s Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse and 2023’s Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse, has confirmed that there is “no generative AI in Beyond the Spider-Verse, and there never will be.”
For those unaware, Miller’s comment on the matter stems from a statement made by Sony Pictures Entertainment CEO Tony Vinciquerra. Last week, on May 30, IndieWire reported that Vinciquerra told investors that the studio was “looking at ways to produce both films for theaters and television in a more efficient way, using AI primarily.”
Vinciquerra’s statement on the usage of AI caused one Spider-Verse fan to voice their concern on X/Twitter. In the post, they plead to Sony Animation not to use generative AI because it could potentially steal jobs from artists and ruin the film’s aesthetic.
