Has the Spider-Verse release date been postponed again?

Spider Man 4 may be the talk of the town in the Marvel Universe as we’re eager to see Sony and Marvel announce the sequel, but it’s not the only highly anticipated Spidey movie fans have. Sony has yet to submit the final submission Spider-Verse trilogy, an animation project that was so quickly postponed About the Spider-Verse visit theaters.

If you are waiting for a Spider-Man: Beyond the Spider-Verse release date update, don’t hope too much. A new report suggests Sony might be taking its time on this, for a reason I didn’t see coming. Apparently Sony doesn’t know how to end it Beyond the Spider-Verse.

As a big fan of the Spider-Verse movies, I hope Sony doesn’t screw this one up either. I’m willing to accept whatever Sony does to it Spider Man 4But Beyond the Spider-Verse it better be great.

Please note, some minor spoilers may follow below.

When Sony released the Beyond the Spider-Verse delay, I said it’s actually great news. I want the third episode in the Spider-Verse story just as good as the last. I don’t just mean the story, but also the animation and the music. It’s the whole package that makes this Spider Man story so good.

The Spider-Verse is my favorite Sony Spider Man adventure, and I say that as an MCU fan who prefers the MCU’s Peter Parker over the others. Still, Sony definitely did a good job with the two Spider-Verse episodes released so far that I wouldn’t like to see in the finale.

That delay seemed to be related to the actual task of animating the third part. It made sense, considering what we saw in the previous episodes. The animation is a big reason for the Spider-Verse stories are so good. It allows Sony to add a layer to the story that isn’t exactly possible with live-action.

But fast forward to mid-November 2024, and we see some unexpected developments. First, Sony installed one Spider-Verse teaser a few days ago in New York, which suggested a Beyond the Spider-Verse The release date announcement was imminent. However, that was not the case. Instead, it was part of a Sony promo for its latest TVs.

That’s what Brand Davis and his say Phase hero podcast guests. More troubling is something Davis himself shared. He says Beyond the Spider-Verse is ‘very far away’, and that it may not even be animated. That’s because Sony restarted the script after the About the Spider-Verse edition. Apparently they don’t have an ending, at least not one they could agree on. Oh boy!

Until now I was afraid that Sony would go bankrupt Spider Man 4 by demanding too much of what should essentially be a soft reboot for the character. According to reports, Sony wanted the film to be as big as No way home and include multiversal elements, such as the Tobey Maguire and Andrew Garfield Spider-Men.

Marvel wanted a more grounded story, and that’s the right thing to do. This way you build up to another big one No way home success. These are rumors, of course, but it makes sense.

Sony wants its Spider-Man Universe (SSU) to rival the MCU, and it’s rushing us there. But Sony hasn’t learned how to make good SSU stories. The only exception is the Spider-Verse movies. And yes, I’m also taking the Tom Holland Spider Man movies in the list of Sony made movies Spider Man films that could be better.

While in the end I will accept whatever happens Spider Man 4assuming the rumors are true and Sony has its way with the story, I don’t want to worry about it either Beyond the Spider-Verse. This is a film in which Sony cannot make any mistakes. What I mean to say is that Sony executives need to let creatives cook.

Not to mention that Sony and Marvel have a great opportunity here to win the Spider-Verse Unpleasant Avengers: Secret Wars and possibly bringing this version of Miles Morales (Shameik Moore) to the MCU. To make that happen, Beyond the Spider-Verse should hit theaters well before May 2027 Secret Wars premieres.

Hopefully my concerns are unfounded and we get official news Beyond the Spider-Verse very soon. On the same note, hopefully, Spider Man 4 an official announcement soon.
