Every Cameo You May Have Missed In Spider-Man: Across The Spider-Verse

Cameos aren't just for actors, as the late Stan Lee himself could have told you. In addition to the various "SNL" alumni and Hollywood icons who sneak their voices into "Across the Spider-Verse," two acclaimed animators are also hiding in the background.

First, Pixar legend Peter Sohn makes a brief cameo as Miles' roommate, Ganke. The acclaimed animator recorded lines for the character during production on "Into the Spider-Verse," but those bits were ultimately cut, so it's nice to see him reinstated in the sequel. Sohn's career in film animation began with "The Iron Giant," and he's worked on everything from "The Incredibles" and "Finding Nemo" to "The Good Dinosaur," which he directed. He's also the director of the 2023 Pixar film, "Elemental." Throughout his career, Sohn has made a habit of voicing smaller characters here and there and his biggest such role to date is probably the robotic cat Sox in "Lightyear."

Later on in the film, during Miles' escape from the Spider-Society, we encounter a Spider-Man therapist voiced by animator Mike Rianda. Rianda gained widespread acclaim for writing, directing, and co-starring in the Netflix animated film "The Mitchells vs. the Machines," which was produced by "Across the Spider-Verse" writers, Christopher Miller and Phil Lord. Rianda also worked extensively on the beloved Disney cartoons, "Gravity Falls" and "Amphibia," as well as the Netflix adult animated series, "Inside Job."
