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"
Across the Spider-Verse was good, but it was an extremely part 1 of 2 movie. Who's even going to remember it by 2027?
Avatar 2 made 2 billion dollars lol
Avatar 1 had an ending.
Yeah Avatar was extremely self contained, as was Avatar 2. There are some loose plot points left dangling for the sequel but there's clear arcs and conclusions.
how in the fuck
the people love to see capitalists get wrecked by blue cat people and whales, thats how (thats not actually how)
Angry nerds, sad drunks, the chronically unemployed
So... me, I guess
Spoiler for Across the Spiderverse
I think that The Spot's reveal as the big villain of the series was pretty memorableAcross the Spiderverse
Spot isn't the big bad, Miguel is.
