We've been waiting a long time for Spider-Man: Beyond the Spider-Verse, but the latest update is a very promising sign that the movie is inching closer.
The film was originally set to be released in 2024, but is now set for a 2027 release instead.
"We are deep, deep in it," producer Christopher Miller told Empire magazine during an appearance on The Empire Podcast with co-producer Phil Lord.
The film is also being released in IMAX, and Miller added that they would soon be previewing the footage in that expanded aspect ratio. "We're actually going today to the IMAX headquarters to see what the footage looks like at scale, and make sure that it has the resolution that it needs to look gorgeous," he explained.
"We're chugging away in the edit room with the team, and it's coming together really well. It's a lot of movie, and a lot to do," he added.
Naturally, it sounds like quite the undertaking. "You got to keep doing something that hasn't been done before. That's all you got to do," he joked. "Easy!"
Across the Spider-Verse released back in 2023, and it ended with quite the brutal cliffhanger: Miles Morales is in the wrong universe, facing off against a Prowler version of himself.
"We put the most pressure on ourselves," Miller said earlier this year. "There's no one that puts more pressure on us than ourselves, wanting to outdo ourselves each time and see things that you haven't seen before and make it feel like something you've never experienced before. And so, trying to get something that is as worthy as the previous two has been the driver."
Spider-Man: Beyond the Spider-Verse arrives on June 18, 2027. While you wait, check out our guide to all the upcoming movies worth getting excited about this year.
