If Beyond the Spider-Verse was hitting theaters next summer, we would’ve heard about it by now, as Sony would’ve assigned it a release date.

2026 seems perfectly doable, but I’m told that it would be extremely unlikely that Sony would want to release an animated Spider-Man movie and a live-action Spider-Man movie in the same calendar year, as the studio is better off staggering those two franchises.

So not only is 2027 more likely for that reason alone, but over Labor Day Weekend, I heard that Sony scrapped most of Beyond the Spider-Verse for creative reasons, and because of that decision, the movie would be unlikely to debut before 2027 given the detailed animation it requires.

While the Beyond the Spider-Verse team was taken aback by the change in direction, I’m told they’re relieved to have more time to work on the sequel, as it’s important to all involved that they stick the landing on this Oscar-winning franchise.

i wouldnt fully blame sony for this if you remember that the directors had the worst working conditions

Spider-Verse Artists Say Working on the Sequel Was “Death by a Thousand Paper Cuts”

    the first movie was mostly the origin story of spider-man’s successor miles morales and had some multiverse elements, it was a good movie. the sequel was mostly set up for part 3 since it ended in a cliffhanger.

      I did hear it was good, though I was really tired of other origin rehashes of Spider-Man, though I understand Miles Morales is a quite different origin (but still an origin story).

      Cliffhangers are a fuck and in general I only watch cliffhanger movies if I’m absolutely sure they will get resolved.
