“Spider-Man: Beyond the Spider-Verse” Swinging Into Theaters in 2027

Sony’s presentation at CinemaCon in Las Vegas had it all—the Fab Four and Spider-Man. While Sony ended their presentation by bringing out director Sam Mendes and his cast for his upcoming four-part Beatles biopic, the earlier part of their presentation was centered upon one of the studio’s most beloved current franchises. Spider-Man: Beyond the Spider-Verse, the third installment of their animated trilogy featuring Brooklyn’s very own Spider-Man, was revealed to be swinging into theaters on June 4, 2027.

“We know how important this franchise is to so many people around us. We just could not run it back,” said the Spider-Verse team of producer Phil Lord and co-directors Bob Persichetti and Justin K. Thompson from the stage at CinemaCon. “So, we decided we needed to take the time to make sure we got it just right.”

The team then revealed the first glimpse at Beyond the Spider-Verse, the conclusion to the critically acclaimed series that began with 2018’s Into the Spider-Verse and continued with 2023’s Across the Spider-Verse. The series has successfully played with the idea of a multiverse, with Brooklyn teenager Miles Morales (Shameik Moore) becoming the borough’s very own Spider-Man, and then teaming up with Spider-People from across the multiverse, including Gwen Stacy/Spider-Woman (Hailee Steinfeld), Spider-Noir (Nicolas Cage), Peter B. Parker (Jake Johnson), Jessica Drew/Spider-Woman (Issa Rae), Pavitr Prabhakar/Spider-Man India (Karan Soni), Hobie Brown/Spider-Punk (Daniel Kaluuya), and more to do battle with villains like The Spot (Jason Schwartzman).

The Beyond the Spider-Verse team didn’t reveal any plot details for the trilogy-capping film, but it’s sure to be Miles’ most extreme challenge yet. Lord did hint that Miles will start the third film in the franchise as a fugitive on the run from every other Spider-Person in the multiverse, and that even his closest allies, like Gwen Stacy, might not be enough to save him and his family this time around.

The footage showcased the franchise’s glorious, bold animation style and showed Miles declaring that this time around, he was going to do things his way.
