Sony Changes Release Date for 2027’s ‘Spider-Man: Beyond the Spider-Verse’

Sony Pictures Animation is making fans of  the eagerly anticipated Spider-Man: Beyond the Spider-Verse wait three additional weeks. The studio announced today that it will release the third part of the Oscar-winning trilogy in theaters on June 25, 2027, three weeks after its previously announced date of June 4, 2027.

The new Marvel adventure is directed by returning helmers Bob Persichetti (Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse) and Justin K. Thompson (Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse), and written by Phil Lord & Chris Miller (Spider-Verse and LEGO Movie franchises) & David Callaham (The Expendables films, Across the Spider-Verse). Producers are Lord, Miller, Amy Pascal, Avi Arad and Jinko Gotoh; Aditya Sood and Christina Steinberg are exec producers.

Details of the Mile Morales and his fellow Spider-folk’s continued adventures in the multiverse are still tightly wrapped up in webbing. Shameik Moore is expected to return in the starring role, alongside Jason Schwartzman (The Spot), Karn Soni (Spider-Man India) and Jharrel Jerome (Prowler).

The filmmakers told the CinemaCon audience earlier this year that the movie finds Miles Morales on the run, while his friends like Gwen might not be able to save him. At the end of Across the Spider-Verse, Miles discovered that a multi-verse version of himself had transformed into the villainous Prowler in a lawless New York City.

The first Spider-Verse movie won an Oscar for best animated feature, and earned $393.6 million worldwide. The second installment, the 2023’s Spider-Man Across the Spider-Verse was also a blockbuster hit worldwide and earned $690.5 million and another Oscar nomination. Beyond Spider-Verse was originally slated for  March 29, 2024, but it was pushed back in July 2023 due to the strikes. Sony has also scheduled another animated feature Buds for March 12 of 2027.
