Creators of upcoming feature film Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse have snuck in a transgender flag emblazoned with the words “Protect trans kids.”

The message appears for a split second, almost invisible in the background.

[…] LGBTQ+ news outlet Pink News reported that “Fans were were quick to spot the trans-inclusive Easter egg and applaud the film for its subtle nod to queer youth.”

The animated Spider-Verse films are a joint production between Sony Pictures and Columbia Pictures, with Marvel Entertainment. It seems those corporations couldn’t resist getting on board with THE MESSAGE.
