Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse revolutionized animated superhero films, as Sony’s take on Miles Morales was a lively and stylized blend of 2D and 3D techniques unlike anything we’d seen before. But it’s hard to be state-of-the-art, and there were five years between the releases of Into the Spider-Verse and its sequel, Across the Spider-Verse. The trilogy’s final installment, Beyond the Spider-Verse, has been equally mired with issues and delays, but for once, the release date has been moved up instead of pushed back.
Spider-Man: Beyond the Spider-Verse had an initial release window of 2023 (and a working title of Across the Spider-Verse Part Two), but was pushed back to March 2024. It soon became clear that even that would be unrealistic, especially after concerns about working conditions for its artists began to emerge.
