Content: There are rumors circulating about a delay in the release of Spider-Man: Beyond the Spider-Verse, but these reports are false. Following the success of the first film, Miles Morales returned to the big screen in Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse this summer, which has been receiving critical acclaim and performing well at the box office. The sequel to the Spider-Verse left audiences on a cliffhanger, promising a conclusion in Spider-Man: Beyond the Spider-Verse. While some fake news has been spreading on TikTok, claiming to be from the Spider-Verse writers, Sony Pictures has not officially confirmed any delay for the release of Spider-Man: Beyond the Spider-Verse, which is still scheduled for March 2024.
Why Official Spider-Verse 3 Delay Announcements May Still Happen
It is important to consider that a potential delay for Spider-Man: Beyond the Spider-Verse should not come as a surprise. Hailee Steinfeld recently confirmed in interviews that she has not yet recorded any lines for the sequel as Gwen Stacy, also known as Spider-Woman. If she has not started working on the film, it is reasonable to assume that other cast members have not either.
Moreover, a new report suggests that Spider-Man: Beyond the Spider-Verse may face challenges in meeting its release date. According to an interview with an "experienced artist," the film is significantly behind schedule in terms of its animation. If this information is accurate, an official announcement about a delay is likely to be made before the end of the year.
Despite delays being a common occurrence in the industry, they shouldn't immediately cause concern. In fact, a delay can actually be advantageous for the sequel's development if it allows the creative team ample time to perfect various aspects such as animation, actor recording, the soundtrack, and more. Nevertheless, as of now, Spider-Man: Beyond the Spider-Verse is still scheduled for its anticipated release date in March 2024, unless stated otherwise by Sony.
