Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse: Battle at the Collider
INT. COLLIDER ROOM

[NOTE --- from here out we’re watching an increasingly psychedelic depiction of DIMENSIONS COLLIDING, and the Spideys have to do their job as it happens.]

They BATTLE, the spiders fending off bad guys while glitching! As the CAMERA ROVERS the Spiders INTERACT.

Noir glitches and is caught under fire. PENI comes to save him.

PENI: I got you covered!

Gwen comes FLYING IN, sliding down a GANTRY CRANE.

She sees Scorpion coming towards her.

GWEN: Ugh, these guys are the pits.

Peni and SP//dr jump in to fight Scorpion.

On the ceiling, Peter struggles against Ock. He tries to reinsert the goober but he puts it in the wrong way.

PETER: Why is this always difficult?

Doc Ock drags him away from the panel.

DOC OCK: Where are you going, Peter?

As she pulls Peter in...

DOC OCK: Any last words?

PETER: Can I get a minute to think about it? Do you have a pen?

DOC OCK: Goodbye, Peter Parker.

Suddenly, one of her tentacles PUNCHES her in the face. Peter reacts to Doc Ock punching herself.

DOC OCK: Who did that?

She looks around.

REVEAL Miles turning visible as he FLIES TOWARDS DOC OCK.

PETER: Miles?

DOC OCK: Spider-Man?

He Shoots WEBBING, knocking her back as she releases her hold on Peter. Miles catches him and they both land on the ceiling.

PETER: Wow, Miles! You’re doing it on command!

MILES: About time, right?

MULTIPANEL -- The Spiders react to seeing Miles again.

SPIDER-HAM: Hey, look who’s here!

PENI: Miles!

GWEN: You figured it out.

PETER: I love you! I am so proud of you! Do I want kids?

Doc Ock breaks free of her restraints and CHARGES them.

PETER: Oh yeah. I forgot about her.

As they fight, they all notice a box raising up towards the beam.

PETER: Well, that doesn’t look promising.

MILES: No, it doesn’t.

INSIDE THE OBSERVATION ROOM

Vanessa and Richard start to flicker into existence as Kingpin watches from the observation room.

SCIENTIST 1: I’ve got genetic matches! Hold on... It’s too risky!

KINGPIN: Shut up and turn it up!

INT. COLLIDER ROOM

The Spiders all battle bad guys as the room descends into more chaos.

PETER: On your left! On your right! I got 5 o’clock, 3 o’clock, 2 o’clock! Every direction!

MILES: On your right! On your right!

CAMERA flies back up through the building to the ball room. People are PANICKING. Jefferson is running against the tide, on his phone.

JEFFERSON: Get to a shelter! I’ll be right there!

INSIDE A HOSPITAL

Furniture multiplies, the occupants panicking. Rio is on the phone with Jefferson.

RIO: Vamo senor. I’ve tried the school, but I can’t get through!

OUTSIDE ON THE STREET

The VISIONS bridge “quakes”, cars split into multiple versions of themselves, people run, screaming.

BACK IN THE COLLIDER ROOM

CLUSTER BUILDINGS burst through the portal. The spiders continue to BATTLE as things get CRAZY.

ON MILES, PETER, GWEN AND OCK

MILES: Guys, are you seeing this?!

Peter, Miles, and Gwen meet up on top of one of the collider guns. They look out over the chaos that is happening in the room.

GWEN: Looks like our dimensions are coming to us.

PETER: It does look cool though, right?

GWEN: We gotta get back up there. Shouldn’t be too hard--

Their Spider-senses go off - they turn around just as Ock THROWS a BUS at them!

NOIR and TOMBSTONE have a hand-to-hand fight.

SPIDER-MAN NOIR: Is that all you got? You gonna fight or you just bumping gums you hard boiled turtle slapper?

Noir PULLS A car on top of Tombstone. IT EXPLODES (COMIC BOOK BURST CARD)

Scorpion has SP//dr pinned down. Peni struggles to break free but Scorpion starts to destroy SP//dr, pulling off and destroying the robot’s limbs.

As Scorpion goes to attack Peni again, an ANVIL SLAMS onto Scorpion’s head. Reveal that Ham has dropped it on him.

SCORPION: Puerco? What are you, some kind of silly cartoon?

SPIDER-HAM: You got a problem with cartoons?

Scorpion and Ham fight hand-to-hand combat. HAM IS FREAKIN’ INSANE AT FIGHTING. Ham knocks Scorpion down and before he can get up, Noir grabs his tail and swings him around. As he lets go and Scorpion flies towards Peni, she grabs one of SP//dr’s detached arms and smashes Scorpion with it. He’s out.

SPIDER-HAM: Ohhh, did THAT feel like a cartoon?

ON MILES, PETER, GWEN AND OCK

Gwen and Miles fight Doc Ock, tag-teaming. Gwen is IMPRESSED by Miles.

Suddenly one of Ock’s tentacles hits Gwen hard and she falls back towards the beam.

MILES: Gwen!!

Miles flies after Gwen, barely grabbing her. (Note: refer to “Gwen falls” panels) He SWINGS back up with a recovering Gwen.

GWEN: I like your suit.

MILES: Thanks. I made it myself.

Miles SHOOTS a web strand back at Peter.

Peter GRABS the web strand and PULLS IT, giving GWEN SUPERSPEED.

PETER: That was adorable, team! Now hold on tight!

Gwen FLIES in.

They all hit her 1-2-3.

Ock FLIES BACK from the impact and smashes onto a building. Furious, she races back towards them.

GWEN: Buckle up, guys, this is going to take a while.

Doc Ock is HIT by a rogue 18-wheeler.

GWEN: Alright, never mind. Let’s end this thing.

Miles TAKES CONTROL. He’s the quarterback now.

MILES: Guys, I got it.

PETER: I'll go. I'm the one with the goo-

Miles holds up the goober.

PETER: Oh, you gotta be kidding me.

MILES: Don’t watch the mouth. Watch the hands.

He shoots a web and swings off through the chaos in the collider room.

PETER: Miles!

GWEN: Be careful!

ON MILES as he heads to the panel, doing his own version of Blonde Peter’s swing-crawl-flip to the panel.

MILES: That was crazy.

Back on Peter and Gwen.

PETER: Ah, we taught him that right?

GWEN: I didn’t teach him that. And you definitely didn’t.

Peter and Gwen swing off to join Miles.

ON PENI, NOIR and HAM

As SP//dr SPARKS and DIES, Peni takes out her SPIDER.

She turns to look at the destroyed robot, tears in her eyes. Noir steps up, puts his hand on her shoulder.

NOIR: You okay? (tenderly) C’mon...

She jumps on Noir’s back and with Ham, they swing away to join Miles at the panel.

ON MILES AT THE PANEL

Inside is the MESS OF WIRES AND EQUIPMENT RIPeter saw. Miles INSERTS the goober.

MILES: Guys! I got control of the beam! Get up here!

COMPUTER VOICE: Alert! Quantum polarity has been reversed.

IN OBSERVATION ROOM

Kingpin’s looks up and sees Miles at the panel as the other spiders join him.

Kingpin, ENRAGED, SLAMS DOWN on the control panels in front of him, SMASHING THE WINDOWS of the Observation Room.

IN THE COLLIDER ROOM

The room SHAKES, inter-dimensional quakes ROCKING THE COLLIDER ROOM AND ALL OF BROOKLYN.

THE SPIDERS CONVERGE ON THE PANEL

GWEN: Guess this is it.

PENI: Well, nice to know we’re not alone. Right?

GWEN: Yeah.

They all look around at each other. They want to go home...but part of them wants to stay.

Miles punches a code into the keypad and twists the goober.

MILES: I got the portal open. You first, Peni.

She smiles.

PENI: Thank you, Miles. From both of us.

Peni JUMPS into the beam. Miles punches in another code and looks to Noir.

SPIDER-MAN NOIR: I, uh, love you all. (holds up a Rubik’s cube) I’m taking this cube thing with me. I don’t understand it, but, I will.

Noir lets go and DISAPPEARS. Spider-Ham hold up a huge mallet. He’s near tears.

SPIDER-HAM: I want you to have this. It’ll fit in your pocket.

Miles takes it.

SPIDER-HAM: That’s all, folks.

Ham JUMPS.

PETER: Is he allowed to say that? Legally?

Miles turns to Gwen. A beat. Awkward. Just like the classroom, but...

MILES: Do I get to like the hairdo now?

Gwen laughs.

GWEN: You know I’m older than you. Fifteen months, but it’s pretty significant if you ask me.

MILES: Well, Einstein said time was relative, right?

GWEN: (laughs) Nice.

She turns away, uncomfortable with the moment. Miles holds out his hand.

MILES: Friends?

A long beat. Gwen grabs his hand and holds it.

GWEN: Friends.

MILES: Cool.

GWEN: See you around Spider-Man.

She elegantly leaps into the beam.

Miles turns to Peter.

MILES: Your turn.

PETER: (hesitant) Yeah yeah right...

Peter looks down and hesitates. HE’S SCARED TO GO.

They’re both hit with a surge of SPIDER-SENSE. Miles and Peter look down to see Kingpin has left the observation room and is now leap-frogging his way across buildings towards them.

KINGPIN: You’re not going ANYWHERE!

Peter assesses the situation.

PETER: I’ll hold him off, you shut this down!

Peter jumps away from the panel, going towards Kingpin. Miles is SURPRISED.

MILES: Peter, that wasn’t the deal!

PETER: Push the green button! Do not wait for me!

But Peter is LEAPING AWAY ALREADY, SWINGING, when A WEB STOPS HIM AND YANKS HIM BACK TO...

MILES, on the other end of the WEB!

PETER: What are you doing?

MILES: Peter, you gotta go home!

PETER: This guy could kill you! I can’t let Spider-Man die.

MILES: (defiant) Neither can I.

PETER: It’s okay.

MILES: Yeah, it is okay.

Miles DROP KICKS Peter and holds him suspended over the portal. It looks exactly like when Peter challenged Miles in his dorm room before tying him up.

MILES: (with empathy) You gotta go home, man.

PETER: (suddenly sad and scared) How do I know I’m not gonna mess it up again?

MILES: You won’t.

PETER: (realizing) Right. It’s a leap of faith.

Peter takes his hand off Miles hand, readying himself. Miles DROPS Peter into the portal.

Peter smiles as he disappears into the portal.

PETER: Not bad, kid.

Miles pulls his mask back down and turns to face the approaching Kingpin. THEY FACE OFF.

MILES: Kingpin!

Kingpin SMASHES the building, causing a ripple of glass to fly towards Miles. Miles backflips out of the way.

Kingpin pulls out a gun and Miles WEBS it away.

MILES: Nope! Sorry. That’s cheating!

He starts to advance when a subway train suddenly speeds by, heading towards the panel. Miles shoots a web at the train and hitches a ride.

MILES: ¡Adios!
