The eagerly anticipated release of “Beyond the Spider-Verse,” the third installment in the Spider-Man animated film series, has faced a setback with an indefinite delay, leaving fans disheartened. However, there is still optimism that the movie could grace screens in 2024.
In a recent interview on the occasion of their upcoming release, “Strays,” the creative duo of writers and producers, Phil Lord and Christopher Miller, offered insight into the status of the sequel.
While they couldn’t provide a precise release date, they assured fans that the film would be launched “when it is ready.”
Lord acknowledged that the decision rests beyond their control, stating, “Those conversations are thankfully above our paygrade, but I can tell you we’re already hard at work on it, and we’ll take the time it takes to make it great.” The initial release date of March 29, 2024, was later removed from the calendar.
Miller told Digital Spy that although the wait might be extended, the final product will be well worth it. He shared their aspiration to create a profoundly satisfying conclusion to the story of Miles Morales and Gwen Stacy, promising a film that evokes a range of emotions from laughter to tears.
“What we’re trying to accomplish with the film is have it be the most satisfying conclusion to the story than it can be, and take it to places that you haven’t been before. And make you laugh and cry, and cheer and think,” Miller explained.
While fans await the continuation of the Spider-Verse saga, Lord and Miller have a new project, the R-rated comedy “Strays,” set for release.
As for “Beyond the Spider-Verse,” the release date remains uncertain, but fans can anticipate a compelling and emotionally charged conclusion to the saga when it ultimately arrives in theaters.
