2018’sSpider-Man: Into the Spider-Versewon an Oscar for Best Animated Feature. Together with 2023’sSpider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse,the movies about the alter-verse of Spider-Man, Miles Morales and all his web-slinging friends has amassed $1.08 billion at the global box office.
Given how a new animation style is invented with each installment, there’s a lot of blood, sweat and tears that go into these movies. WhenAcross the Spider-Versehad its world premiere in June 2023, we were told by a source close to the film that that print was wet; the filmmakers worked on the feature to the last minute.
Part 3 of the series finds Morales on the run, and his friends like Gwen might not be able to save him. As fans may recall at the end of Across the Spider-Verse, he discovered that a parallel version of him had transformed into the villainous Prowler in an iteration of Earth that lacks a Spider-Man and features a lawless New York City.
The movie has been moved a few times on the calendar. It originally had a theatrical release date of March 29, 2024, and was pushed back in July 2023 due to the strikes.
Beyond the Spider-Verse is directed by Bob Persichetti and Justin K. Thompson and written by David Callam, Phil Lord and Christopher Miller. Lord and Miller produce with Amy Pascal, Avi Arad and Jinko Gotoh.

Pixar lost all respect. Rival studios believe that original Pixar movie is no longer competition.

Could always just leave Gatto where it is and wait for Spidey move again in 3 months.

they can delay as long as they need to. ideally even more than that, I would love it if the animators were able to work on these more comfortably. I’ll be there.

I’d rather wait a decade more than get a rushed movie. These movies are so good, they almost restore my faith in humanity.
