Spider-Punk Is Getting His Own Movie in Sony’s SPIDER-VERSE Universe
Spider-Punk is officially stepping out of the multiverse and into the spotlight. Sony Pictures Animation is developing a spin-off movie centered on the fan-favorite Spider-Man variant Hobie Brown, who made his big-screen debut in Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse.
Daniel Kaluuya, who voiced the character in the film, is not only returning to voice the character, but he is also co-writing the new project with Ajon Singh.
According to Deadline, the movie is still in early development, and plot details are being kept tightly under wraps. There’s no confirmation yet on whether other Spider-Verse characters will appear.
Created by Dan Slott and Olivier Coipel, Spider-Punk first appeared in The Amazing Spider-Man #10 in 2015. This version of Hobie Brown hails from Earth-138 and brings a rebellious edge to the Spider-Man mythos. He’s an anarchist who battles authoritarian regimes, wields an electric guitar, and isn’t afraid to smash the system—literally.
Kaluuya’s performance in Across the Spider-Verse brought a unique voice and swagger to the character, making him an instant fan-favorite character in a packed ensemble. It makes sense to give the character his own movie!
While there's no release date yet, it's safe to assume Spider-Punk’s solo outing won’t hit theaters until after Spider-Man: Beyond the Spider-Verse, which is currently set to arrive June 25, 2027.
Beyond the Spider-Verse will pick up after the cliffhanger ending of Across the Spider-Verse, with Miles Morales (voiced by Shameik Moore) stranded on Earth-42 and face-to-face with an alternate version of himself who has become the Prowler, voiced by Jharrel Jerome.
The third film will also bring back Hailee Steinfeld as Gwen Stacy, Jason Schwartzman as The Spot, and Karan Soni as Pavitr Prabhakar.
Get ready for some punk rock Spidey chaos!
