With Spider-Man: Beyond the Spider-Verse now reportedly facing a significant delay, new details have emerged about its revised release date. Industry insider Jeff Sneider reports that the film, which was originally set to release in summer 2024, might not be released until 2027. This delay supposedly comes amidst ongoing production adjustments and the scheduling of other major Spider-Man projects. The extended timeline reflects Sony’s strategic approach to ensuring the film meets high-quality standards.
Spider-Man: Beyond the Spider-Verse release date reportedly pushed to 2027
Industry insider Jeff Sneider has revealed that Spider-Man: Beyond the Spider-Verse will reportedly face a delay until 2027.
Sneider reported that Sony Pictures has scrapped much of the existing work on the film due to “creative” reasons. This has seemingly led to a significant delay. The shift also takes into account the upcoming release of Spider-Man 4, directed by Destin Daniel Cretton. Filming for Spider-Man 4 could start next year, making a 2026 release for Beyond the Spider-Verse unlikely.
Notably, during Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse, animators reportedly faced challenging working conditions and tight production schedules. According to previous reports from Digital Spy, producers Phil Lord and Chris Miller have set the release of the third Spider-Verse film for “when it is ready.” They emphasized their commitment to taking the necessary time to ensure the movie is strong and is not bound to any specific release date.
The extended timeline could be to accommodate the lengthy animation process required for the film’s adjustments. The creative team has allegedly welcomed this decision and expressed relief at having more time for production without the pressures of the previous installment. (via The Direct)
Sony’s decision to delay the release to 2027 reflects its focus on quality for Beyond the Spider-Verse. It appears now the creative team will have more time to refine and complete the project.
