Bad news, folks. Miles Morales isn't coming back to the big screen this year.

After confirming, in December last year, that the first part of Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse was coming in October this year, Sony Pictures announced that it will push back the animated film's release date by nearly a year to June 2, 2023. In the same announcement, Sony also revealed that Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse Part II will come out on March 29, 2024.

The news comes as a gut punch to fans who've been waiting for more Across the Spider-Verse info. The movie should've already been out by now as the original premiere date was on April 8. Not to mention, Morbius is already but a distant memory now, so Sony is free to drop details on its upcoming slate of Spider-Man films.

According to Spider-Verse writer and producer, Chris Miller, the team needs "more time to make it great" as he explained the reason for the lengthy delays.
