There have been reports that the production of Spider-Man: Across The Spider-Verse was a nightmare for the animators and artists who worked on the film. It’s explained that 100s of them quit over the course of the production due to poor management from writer and producer Phil Lord.
The next film, Spider-Man: Beyond The Spider-Verse, is currently set to be released in theaters on March 29th, 2024. The next movie will bring an end to this Miles Morales story. With the cliffhanger ending of Across The Spider-Verse, you can bet fans are very excited for this next chapter of the story and how it comes to an end.
Well, unfortunately, we may have to wait a little longer than we thought, as one artist who has worked on the film says that “there’s no way” Spider-Man: Beyond the Spider-Verse will release on its planned date. The artist told Vulture that less progress on the upcoming sequel has been made than fans may think. He explained:
“They’ve announced that Beyond the Spider-Verse will be released in March of next year. I’ve seen people say, ‘Oh, they probably worked on it at the same time.’ There’s no way that movie’s coming out then. There’s been progress on the pre-production side of things. But as far as the production side goes, the only progress that’s been made on the third one is any exploration or tests that were done before the movie was split into two parts. Everyone’s been fully focused on Across the Spider-Verse and barely crossing the finish line. And now it’s like, ‘Oh, yeah, now we have to do the other one.’”
Well, that sounds disheartening. The creative team has got a lot of work ahead of them, and if they really are that far behind, yeah, we aren’t going to see the movie in March of 2024. I hope we don’t have to wait until 2025, but we might have to! At least they have a story in place. Producer Chris Miller previously said:
“We always knew there was more to tell and that there’s a lot to explore, but it wasn’t until we were working on [Across the Spider-Verse] that we realized that this was the middle piece. So now, we actually have a proper plan and know what we’re doing. At the time, we were just painting ourselves into a corner and trying to find a way out.”
The movie is being directed by Joaquim Dos Santos, Kemp Powers, and Justin K. Thompson. It features the voices of Shameik Moore as Miles Morales, Hailee Steinfeld as Gwen Stacy, Jake Johnson as Peter B. Parker, Issa Rae as Spider-Woman, Daniel Kaluuya as Spider-Punk, Karan Soni as Spider-Man India, Oscar Isaac as Spider-Man 2099, Jason Schwartzman as The Spot, Brian Tyree Henry as Jefferson Davis, Luna Lauren Velez as Rio Morales, Greta Lee as Lyla, Andy Samberg as Scarlet Spider, and more.
