What's going on with the Spider-Man: Beyond the Spider-Verse release date now?

As a longtime fan of the Spider-Man universe, I have witnessed countless twists and turns over the years. The recent rumor about “Spider-Man: Beyond the Spider-Verse” being delayed until 2027, only to be replaced by a new live-action film featuring Tom Holland, left me feeling a bit like Peter Parker himself – swinging through the city with no clear direction in sight.


As a die-hard Spidey fan, I’m excitedly sharing that according to Jeff Sneider’s exclusive scoop on his site, the release of “Spider-Man: Beyond the Spider-Verse” has been pushed back to 2027. The primary reason for this delay seems to be making space for a new live-action Spider-Man film starring Tom Holland, directed by Destin Daniel Cretton. To avoid two Spider-Man movies premiering in the same year, Sony made this decision. Moreover, Sneider hinted that “Beyond the Spider-Verse” is undergoing a significant transformation, with those involved in its production, such as animators, expressing gratitude for the extra time to perfect this sequel.

It appears that the report about Beyond the Spider-Verse was swiftly discredited by individuals associated with the project. Composer Daniel Pemberton initially shared this information and stated it was false. Later, producer Chris Miller posted on Twitter clarifying that no parts of the project have been abandoned, and the segments are progressing well. Therefore, it seems that Beyond the Spider-Verse is not in any trouble or facing difficulties as suggested by the initial report.

Initially, I was all geared up for “Spider-Man: Beyond the Spider-Verse” to drop in theaters on March 29, 2024. However, things took an unexpected turn when Sony decided to pull it from their release schedule late last summer due to strikes. Unfortunately, there hasn’t been a solid new date announced yet, probably because of the constant rescheduling of its predecessor, “Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse.” Originally slated for April 2022, it got pushed back multiple times due to COVID-19 and production issues, eventually landing on a June 2023 release. It seems like these “Spider-Verse” movies operate on their own schedule, and this third movie is no exception.

From a fan’s perspective, I can say that the progress of “Beyond the Spider-Verse” is quite intriguing and shrouded in mystery. Unlike live-action films where we might spot crews filming on location, animated movies like this one are crafted away from public scrutiny.

To put it simply, there’s no new updates to report at the moment. The massive success of “Across the Spider-Verse” at the box office means it could release anytime during the year and still be a blockbuster hit. This might be why Sony/Columbia Pictures hasn’t yet fixed a release date. It doesn’t need to premiere around specific holidays like Halloween for success. The market will adapt to wherever “Beyond the Spider-Verse” is released, making way for it. Other movies, particularly more family-oriented animated films, are likely to move aside to give the creative team enough breathing room.

Regarding the news that the “Spider-Verse” sequel is being pushed back to 2027 for another Tom Holland “Spiderman” film, I find this somewhat puzzling given Sony’s history of releasing both animated and live-action “Spiderman” movies within a year. For instance, “Into the Spider-Verse” and “Spider-Man: Far From Home,” which were six-and-a-half months apart, as well as the original “Spider-Verse” and another live-action film, have all been released this way in the past. Therefore, it seems unlikely that Sony is overly concerned about releasing two such titles within a 12-month period now, given their past practices.

It seems like the latest internet debate about potential issues with the production of “Beyond the Spider-Verse” might not be worth the worry. The movie will come out when it’s ready, and we can only hope it matches the excellence of its previous versions. Until then, let’s focus our efforts on more meaningful activities such as establishing a community investment fund, supporting local unions, or contributing to aid for families in Gaza. As Miles Morales wisely stated, “anyone can wear the mask”, so let’s use that spirit to make a positive impact on the world.
