Spend May Day Watching Mayday As 'Spider-Man: Across The Spider-Verse' Comes To Disney+
Swing with your tea teas, the eighteen months are up
Hate to break it to you, but this universe has never had an April 31. But its best approximation, May 1, is coming up fast. That’s 18 months since Sony Pictures Animation’s Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse arrived on Netflix on Halloween 2023, the entirety of a Pay-1 window, which means the pay-2 window, which Disney platforms have the rights to, will begin on Thursday, May 1 with the arrival of the film on Disney+.
The Oscar-nominated, Annies-dominating sequel to 2018’s Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse tells how Spider-Man Miles Morales reunites with Gwen Stacy, who is now a member of a team of Spider-People charged with protecting the very existence of the multiverse as he’s catapulted through it. Miles finds himself pitted against the other Spiders, clashing on philosophies as they have to deal with The Spot as he turns into a major threat. He must redefine what it means to be a hero so he can save the people he loves most. It stars stars Shameik Moore as Miles Morales/Spider-Man, Hailee Steinfeld as Spider-Woman Gwen Stacy, Jake Johnson as Peter B. Parker Spider-Man, Oscar Isaac as Spider-Man 2099 Miguel O’Hara, Issa Rae as Spider-Woman Jessica Drew, Daniel Kaluuya as Spider-Punk Hobie Brown, and Karan Soni as Spider-Man India Pavitr Prabhakar. includes Brian Tyree Henry and Luna Lauren Velez as Miles’s parents Jefferson and Rio, Shea Whigham as Gwen’s father Capt. George Stacy, Jason Schwartzman as The Spot, along with Greta Lee, Rachel Dratch, Jorma Taccone and a significant amount of new and reprising actors for the multiverse’s many other Spider-People. The film’s directors are Justin K. Thompson, Joaquim Dos Santos, and Kemp Powers. The first film’s writer-producer Phil Lord and producer Christopher Miller wrote the film with David Callaham.
Netflix Makes Halloween All Spiders' Eve With Arrival Of 'Spider-Man: Across The Spider-Verse'
It’s been nearly three years since Netflix has housed a Miles Morales Spider-Man movie. Now, just under 4 months after the release of the long-awaited sequel Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse, it’s heading to Netflix to make the Spot’s holes all the scarier.
The platform jump comes as Across’s own sequel, Beyond the Spider-Verse, finally received a new release date after being delayed indefinitely less than two months after Across’s theatrical release. It was announced at CinemaCon, where both sequels were previously touted, that Beyond would release on June 4, 2027, the same weekend Across released on in 2023. This followed the announcement that Thompson would be returning to direct, this time teamed with one of the first film’s directors, Bob Persichetti. “We know how important this franchise is to so many people around us. We just could not run it back,” they and producer Phil Lord said at CinemaCon. “So, we decided we needed to take the time to make sure we got it just right.”
Beyond’s 2027 release forces it outside the window that the current pay-2 window deal covers (2022-2026) but that doesn’t mean it won’t arrive on Disney+ as well. Extensions are possible, as are methods introduced through renegotiation.
