Ever since Spider-Man: Across The Spider-Verse left audiences with that jaw-dropping “to be continued” ending cliffhanger, it’s had us wondering: when will we see the exciting conclusion to Miles Morales’ animated trilogy? From what we know about Beyond the Spider-Verse, the Sony Animation movie has a release date in March of 2024, but will it actually come out in just nine months? According to one Spider-Verse animator, it’s unlikely.
Across The Spider-Verse is a triumph for animation. The sequel not only levels up the artistry and technical prowess of 2018’s Oscar-winning movie, it’s a huge box office success, recently crossing $500 million worldwide after just 20 days of release. While it’s been commonly thrown around among fans that perhaps the two sequels have been in production at the same time, much like the Avengers two-parter Infinity War and Endgame, one Spider-Verse animator shared with Vulture that Across The Spider-Verse has been the full focus on the Sony Animation team in recent years, and it “barely” crossed the finish line in time for its June release date.
