Miles Morales will swing back to theaters one week ahead of schedule.
“Spider-Man: Beyond the Spider-Verse,” the third installment in Sony’s animated web-slinging trilogy, has moved up its release to June 18, 2027. The Marvel adaptation was previously scheduled for June 25. On its new spot, “Spider-Verse” will open around two holidays, Father’s Day and Juneteenth. It’ll land one week after Universal’s live-action “How to Train Your Dragon 2” and on the same day as Disney’s animated adventure “Gatto.”
“Beyond the Spider-Verse” concludes a trilogy that began with 2018’s “Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse” and continued with 2023’s “Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse.” The series centers on Brooklyn high schooler Miles Morales, who becomes the new Spider-Man and joins other Spider-People from parallel universes to save New York City — and other multiversal locales — from various threats. Plot details for the third film haven’t been revealed but the story presumably involves Miles Morales facing another crisis.
“We have crafted what we feel is a very satisfying ending, and we can’t wait for fans to experience it,” filmmakers Bob Persichetti and Justin K. Thompson said last year when they were announced as co-directors. “We’re bringing everything we’ve got.”
The “Spider-Verse” series has been a major box office force; the original grossed $384 million globally in addition to winning the Oscar for best animated feature. “Across the Spider-Verse” was even bigger at the box office, managing to surpass the entire gross of its predecessor after just 12 days of release and ending its run with $690 million worldwide.
