Exclusive Insider Report: Final SpiderVerse Film Faces Delay – March 2024 Release Date in Jeopardy?
Potential Delay for Beyond the Spider-Verse Raises Concerns for Marvel Fans and Impacts on Other Movies
According to a new report from insiders, Spider-Man: Beyond the Spider-Verse will not be able to meet its scheduled release date of March 29, 2024. The highly anticipated sequel, Across the Spider-Verse, has recently received rave reviews and achieved impressive box office success, further fueling excitement for the final installment in the Spider-Verse series.
In a comprehensive report detailing the production of Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse, Vulture features an interview with a seasoned artist who has worked on various projects for major animation studios and streaming platforms. According to this artist, there is no possible way that Beyond the Spider-Verse will be able to meet its March 2024 release date.
The upcoming film, Beyond the Spider-Verse, has been scheduled for release in March of next year. Speculations suggesting that the movie was worked on simultaneously with its predecessor have been dismissed. While there has been progress in the pre-production phase, the production side has primarily focused on completing Across the Spider-Verse. It is only recently that attention has shifted towards the development of the third installment.
Will A Beyond the Spider-Verse Delay Hurt Other Marvel Movies?
The Spider-Verse franchise has minimal connections to other Marvel movies, with only subtle nods and references to the multiverse. The upcoming animated Spider-Man trilogy has primarily focused on its own self-contained narrative. While Across the Spider-Verse hints at potential spinoffs, it primarily sets up its immediate sequel, Beyond the Spider-Verse. Therefore, any delay in Beyond the Spider-Verse would not adversely impact the overall Marvel and/or Sony movie universe, at least in terms of storytelling.
This contrasts with the situation where several Phase 4 MCU movies were postponed, resulting in Spider-Man: No Way Home's multiverse storyline occurring before Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness, contrary to the original plan. A potential delay in Beyond the Spider-Verse would not have a similar far-reaching consequence.
If Spider-Man: Beyond the Spider-Verse faces any delays, it will inevitably prolong the resolution of Across the Spider-Verse's gripping cliffhanger. The decision to divide the Into the Spider-Verse sequel into two films is the reason why Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse concludes with a cliffhanger, leaving viewers with a sense of an unfinished narrative. At present, as of the time of writing this article, Spider-Man: Beyond the Spider-Verse is scheduled to make its debut on March 29, 2024.
