Summary
Allegedly, Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse was marred by unfavorable working conditions, although producer Phil Lord chose not to explicitly address or refute the allegations. Instead, he acknowledged the arduous and challenging nature of the film's production process.
The release of Spider-Man: Beyond the Spider-Verse, the sequel, has been postponed indefinitely, potentially bringing advantages to the film. The movie will showcase thrilling action sequences and incorporate several different groups of Spider-Man variations.
Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse has finally received a response from one of its producers regarding the accusations of toxic working conditions. The film showcased a larger array of Spider-Man variants and introduced exciting new universes, incorporating various animated styles to offer a unique viewing experience. Regrettably, it seems that many of the talented artists involved in creating this groundbreaking movie did not have a positive experience throughout the project.
In an interview with Variety, Phil Lord, producer and writer of Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse, addressed the concerning report regarding the film's unfavorable working conditions. Although Lord did not confirm the validity of the allegations, he acknowledged that making Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse was an extremely challenging and demanding endeavor. Lord concludes by expressing immense pride in the crew and their remarkable contributions to the film. Below is the full statement:
Spider-Verse 3's Indefinite Release Delays May Be Good For The Movie
Making 'Spider-Verse' was an immensely challenging endeavor. The relentless dedication and effort put in by the entire team are sources of great pride for us. The demands of the project were tremendous, but we are incredibly satisfied with the commitment and contributions of each individual involved.
The release date for Spider-Man: Beyond the Spider-Verse is uncertain after the movie was removed from Sony's release schedule during the studio's reshuffling of Marvel movie releases. Artists working on the sequel might have an easier time compared to the previous film. Originally, Spider-Man: Beyond the Spider-Verse was supposed to hit theaters on March 29, 2024.
The Spider-Verse trilogy finale would have been released only nine months after Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse, had the movie met its original release date. This is a much shorter wait compared to the five years it took for the second movie to follow Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse. The indefinite delay of the third film in the animated franchise is likely a good thing. While the situation within the Spider-Verse franchise is unclear, having more time to work on the animation for Spider-Man: Beyond the Spider-Verse can only improve the film.
Spider-Man: Beyond the Spider-Verse is expected to include many thrilling action sequences, as there are several loose ends to tie up. The ending of Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse set the stage for an exciting finale in the animated trilogy. Miles Morales needs to escape from a Prowler variant of himself and prevent the Spot from killing his father. With the inclusion of multiple teams of Spider-Man variants, such as Gwen Stacy and Spider-Man 2099, the sequel to Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse should take all the necessary time for artists to deliver their best work.
