Spider-Man: Beyond the Spider-Verseis facing another delay as theMarvelmovie has been pushed once more. Miles Morales' trilogy is coming to an end, and Sony is currently working on the highly anticipatedSpider-Man: Beyond the Spider-Versefor 2027, following the events ofSpider-Man: Across the Spider-Versein 2023.
Like many Marvel and superhero movies in general, there has been a lot of secrecy surroundingtheSpider-Man: Beyond the Spider-Versestory. While production is currently underway onSpider-Man: Beyond the Spider-Verse, with actors set to record their lines for their respective characters, Sony has just made a significant change to the upcoming installment.
While Sony is still intending to releaseSpider-Man: Beyond the Spider-Versein June 2027, the animated threequel from directors Bob Persichetti and Justin K. Thompson is now set to be released on June 25 instead of June 4. The delay means the film is coming out three weeks later than initially expected.
What Spider-Man: Beyond The Spider-Verse’s Delay Means
As frustrating as it might be for fans to see yet another delay forSpider-Man: Beyond the Spider-Verse, there are some potential valid reasons behind the latest release date shift. According to insiders, as reported byThe Hollywood Reporter,the new date"will be better for bringing in school-aged kids for summer break,“given how some schools would still be in session on June 4.
THR is also stating that June 25 is"seen as a more appealing date internationally,“which can also be to reflect the younger audience worldwide. Given that this is theSpider-Manfranchise that is primarily geared towards the kid demographic, seeing a slight shift inSpider-Man: Beyond the Spider-Verse’srelease date is appropriate, especially for the potential box office.
It’s also crucial to take into account that,given how ambitious the animation process is for theSpider-Versemovies, three additional weeks could also benefit the production team. With this set to be thetrilogyfinale, lettingSpider-Man: Beyond the Spider-Versebe delayedonly slightly can also give the creative team the chance to do proper final touches on the film.
Our Take On Spider-Man: Beyond The Spider-Verse’s Delay
IfSpider-Man: Beyond the Spider-Versehad been delayed to much later in 2027 or even 2028,that would have been an actual reason to be nervous about the delay. But in the end, this is such a small change that it makes sense, especially if it’s to make it more suited for the younger audience who loves this franchise.
What remains to be seen, however,is whether fans will get any footage ofSpider-Man: Beyond the Spider-Versein 2025or if they will have to wait until 2026. Hopefully, onceSpider-Man: Beyond the Spider-Verse opens in theaters on June 09, 2025, this long wait will have been worth it.
