His reluctance to open up earned some teasing from Johansson, but Schwartzman was able to promise three things for The Spot in Beyond the Spider-Verse: 'bigger, badder, holier.' That doesn't mean plot holes either. And we started doing that before this movie!'

'Yeah, there’s not much I really can say, but I’m just excited about it, and it was a great experience, I loved working with them. He wasn't quite as open as Johansson when talking about the film, however. Jason Schwartzman, who plays the multiverse-threatening villain The Spot in the film and the recent Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse, was also in attendance with Johansson and Weintraub to talk about where he's heading in the finale. I think it stands on its own, it’s pretty exciting.'Ģ024 is shaping up to be a strong year for animation between Transformers One and the much-anticipated Spider-Man: Beyond the Spider-Versewhich will conclude a starry trilogy of its own. I think it’s a different way of approaching this IP. It’s funny, but it’s got so much heart to it like all of his stuff does. And because Josh wrote it, it just feels very… I don’t know, it’s got a very dramatic feeling about it. The film doesn’t look like anything I’ve ever seen before, it looks so cool! The texture of it is so awesome. I’m working with Josh Cooley, who is an incredible writer-director who I adore and have worked creatively with in another capacity. She's also the latest member of the film's team to be in awe of the animation work done by Industrial Light and Magic to make the film something wholly unique. Although she couldn't give much information on her role within this first chapter of the Transformers story, she had plenty of praise for writer-director Josh Cooley for bringing it all together with the gravitas it deserves. Johansson, who plays Elita in Transformers One, sat down with Collider's Steve Weintraub during a press junket for Asteroid City where she discussed her reaction to the film.
