The Release of Sony's SPIDER-MAN: ACROSS THE SPIDER-VERSE Has Been Pushed Back
Sony Pictures has pushed the release date back for the highly anticipated Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse animated film. The sequel to Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse was originally set to hit theaters on October 7th, 2022. It’s now going to be released on June 2nd, 2023, so we’ll have to wait eight extra months.
There are two parts to this story, and the second part, Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse Part Two is now opening on March 29th, 2024. Some of the other release dates for Sony Marvel films include Madame Web, starring Dakota Johnson, which is set for July 7th, 2023. Aaron Taylor-Johnson’s Kraven the Hunter is coming on January 13th, 2023.
On the decision to split the film into two, producers Phil Lord and Chris Miller previously told EW, "Miles' story is an epic. We wrote what we thought the story needed to be, and to our surprise we realized it was two movies instead of one." In reaction to the film’s delay producer and co-writer Miller tweeted: "More time to make it great."
As you know, Sony has issues making live-action Marvel movies without Marvel’s help, but Spider-Man: Into The Spider-Verse was an incredible film! They’ve got a great team of talent working on these animated movies, and I’m confident that these sequels are going to be awesome!
Here’s the synosis:
Miles Morales returns for the next chapter of the Oscar®-winning Spider-Verse saga, an epic adventure that will transport Brooklyn’s full-time, friendly neighborhood Spider-Man across the Multiverse to join forces with Gwen Stacy and a new team of Spider-People to face off with a villain more powerful than anything they have ever encountered.
Oscar Isaac will be voicing Miguel O’Hara, aka Spider-Man 2099, as he did in the first film. Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse is being directed by Joaquim Dos Santos, Kemp Powers and Justin K. Thompson.
