Can you believe there was once a time when Sony’s third Spider-Verse movie was set to come out one year after the last? Spider-Man: Beyond the Spider-Verse was originally promised at the end of Across the Spider-Verse, released in 2023 on a cliffhanger. I remarked back then that it was the only movie that could get away with a literal “TO BE CONTINUED” because it was so good that you didn’t care. OF course it came with the promise that it would be resolved soon. That, uh, didn’t happen.
Beyond the Spider-Verse was removed from Sony’s schedule after stories of crunch conditions during the second film’s production were leaked. Lord Miller, the production company behind the trilogy, said that they would “take the time necessary” to complete Beyond, and went silent….and then the SAG-AFTRA strike hit and work stopped on it entirely.
Since then we’ve heard bits and pieces of information in the last few years, but nothing concrete until last April, when Sony announced a June 4, 2027 release date along with fresh never-before-seen art from the film. For whatever reason, that date just slipped: it will now be coming out June 25 of that year instead. No explanation was given, but dating a movie’s release two years in advance is tricky, given you don’t know what the competition plans. Perhaps they were spooked by Dreamworks greenlighting a sequel to the live-action How To Train Your Dragon and slotting it one week later.
Bob Persichetti and Justin K. Thompson have been assigned to direct Spider-Man: Beyond The Spider-Verse. Persichetti co-directed the first movie and served as executive producer on the second, while Thompson was a production designer on them both. For now, Beyond The Spider-Verse is set for the end of June 2027, but we wouldn’t be shocked by another delay between then and now.
