“Spider-Man: Beyond the Spider-Verse,” the sequel to 2023’s “Across the Spider-Verse,” will hit theaters in the summer of 2027. Sony Pictures Entertainment as part of its CinemaCon presentation on Monday night announced that the film will hit theaters on June 4, 2027.
Producer Phil Lord joined the stage along with directors Bob Persichetti and Justin K. Thompson, and he explained that the film “decided to break the boundaries of animation again with the epic conclusion of Miles Morales’ story.” He also said that for the first time, it will be made specifically for large format screens, the first time Sony has done that on an animated film. Sony also showed a brief sizzle reel of some psychedelic and trippy footage.
“We needed to make sure we had the time to get it just right,” Lord said on the CinemaCon stage at Caesar’s Colosseum in Las Vegas.
He said the film picks up literally the second where “Across the Spider-Verse” left off on a cliffhanger, in which Miles Morales was a fugitive on the run from all the other Spider-Men across multiple universes and was the prisoner of his own self in a separate universe, who instead of becoming Spider-Man has now become the Prowler.
The last “Spider-Verse” film, which was Oscar nominated after the original “Into the Spider-Verse” film won the Best Animated Feature Oscar, grossed $690 million at the box office, and its follow-up was originally expected to open as early as 2024 as two halves of a single story, but after being undated for some time, audiences will have to wait even longer than expected.
Bob Persichetti was one of the co-directors on the original “Into the Spider-Verse,” and Justin K. Thompson was a co-director on “Across the Spider-Verse,” and the threequel brings the two of them together. Phil Lord and Christopher Miller are producing the film.
Sony’s presentation also included teasers for Danny Boyle’s “28 Years Later,” which comes out this summer, and its follow-up “28 Years Later: The Bone Temple,” which comes out January 2026, as well as Darren Aronofsky’s new film “Caught Stealing” and the rebooted “I Know What You Did Last Summer.”
