One of the most popular searches on Google in June was probably about when Spider-Man: Beyond the Spider-Verse would be released. While the highly anticipated sequel to Across the Spider-Verse was expected to be released in March next year, Sony has since removed the film from its release schedule and delayed it indefinitely - and a new update does little to clear things up.
There has been no news regarding when Sony plans to release the animated film, but in a recent interview with Digital Spy, producers Phil Lord and Christopher Miller offered a rather ambiguous update on when fans can expect the new film, saying it will be released "when it's ready." 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.
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. This might not be the positive update we were waiting to hear, but it certainly has a silver lining. One of the major reasons why Sony has opted to delay Beyond the Spider-Verse is due to the on-going strikes in Hollywood.
The members of the Writers Guild of America (WGA) have been on strike since May 2, and the Screen Actors Guild‐American Federation of Television and Radio Artists (SAG-AFTRA) has also joined them on the picket lines as of one month ago.
