Sony Animation’s Spider-Verse trilogy has always pushed the limits of what’s possible, using comic book art techniques, and deliberately low frame rates, to tell its huge-scale, multiversal stories. So far, that’s paid off, with the first movie, Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse, winning an Oscar and quietly revolutionizing the animation industry. But with these lofty ambitions come high standards for each following chapter.
The final chapter, Spider-Man: Beyond the Spider-Verse, has a big task ahead of it, topping the action of the first two while still trying to find a way to wrap up the entire saga. Clearly, directors Chris Miller and Phil Lord are taking the time to make sure things are done correctly, as the release date for this movie has moved four different times, eventually settling for Father’s Day weekend 2027. Now, we have our first look at this cinematic event, and the Father’s Day timing may be perfectly apt.
