'Spider-Man: Beyond The Spider-Verse' Finally Spins A 2027 Release Date Out Of CinemaCon

Sony Pictures Animation has released five exclusive images from the film with their announcement

On June 2, 2023, Sony Pictures Animation released Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse, the sequel to 2018’s Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse, unleashing it on a $690 million box office run. It’s a month into the Writers Guild of America strike but its sequel, Beyond the Spider-Verse, is still set for just 9 months later on March 29, 2024. On July 14, SAG-AFTRA strikes as well, and two weeks later Sony makes its first major schedule shakeup in response. Among them, Beyond the Spider-Verse is removed indefinitely, attributed to indefinite voice actor unavailability. Things largely go silent, except for scant voice recording status updates (rumors) and a sturdy declaration of directors in December. But now CinemaCon, the movie theater trade show based in Las Vegas, has returned. Here, Beyond the Spider-Verse was announced as part 2 of Across one year and arrived with its current title at another. So leave it to CinemaCon for Miles Morales to come swinging back.

It was announced that the film is now scheduled for June 4, 2027, the same weekend “We know how important this franchise is to so many people around us. We just could not run it back,” the filmmaking team of producer Phil Lord and co-directors Bob Persichetti and Justin K. Thompson said. “So, we decided we needed to take the time to make sure we got it just right.”

Across left off with Miles Morales (Shameik Moore) stranded in his spider’s home universe where that Miles (Jharrel Jerome) is a Prowler. It leaves him potentially unable to stop The Spot (Jason Schwartzman) from killing his father Jefferson (Brian Tyree Henry), and so Gwen Stacy (Hailee Steinfeld) gathers ally Spider-People Peter B. Parker (Jake Johnson), his daughter Mayday, Spider-Man India Pavitr Prabhakar (Karan Soni), Spider-Punk Hobie Brown (Daniel Kaluuya), Spider-Byte Margo Kess (Amandla Stenberg), Spider-Man Noir (Nicolas Cage), Peni Parker (Kimiko Glenn), and Peter Porker aka Spider-Ham (John Mulaney) to rescue him, while still a fugitive in the eyes of Spider-Man 2099 Miguel O’Hara (Oscar Isaac). “Everyone keeps telling me how my story is supposed to go,” Miles Morales says in the first footage shown. “I’m gonna do my own thing.” Said first footage finds him reunited with Gwen and Peter B. while fighting off both Prowler and The Spot, who has grown massive.

Lord, partner Chris Miller, who had teased such an update earlier in the night, Amy Pascal and Avi Arad are the film’s returning producers, joined by Jinko Gotoh. Aditya Sood and Christina Steinberg are executive producing while Jessica Berri serves as co-producer. Lord and Miller wrote this finale film’s script with David Callaham.

Due to technical limitations and annoyances regarding gallery additions, additional images have been placed before both rounds of related articles.
