In Summer 2023, “Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse” opened to rave reviews and very successful box-office with a ton of excitement for the third film ‘Beyond the Spider-Verse’ scheduled for March 2024.

Then in June 2023 came a bombshell report with crew members claiming unsustainable working conditions due to relentless revisionism, while animators said there was no way the film would be ready in time for its date.

The film’s producing duo of Phil Lord and Chris Miller subsequently indicated they wouldn’t release the film until its ready and lo and behold Sony removed the film from the calendar with no new date set.

Little was heard about the film after that until this September when a report at The Insneider claimed Sony Pictures has scrapped most of the work done on the film so far due to creative reasons – a report producer Chris Miller quickly denied saying “nothing has been scrapped” while composer Daniel Pemberton also dismissed it. Sneider stuck by his story.

Two months on, scooper Brandon Davis indicated on Phase Zero the other day that Sneider’s report was essentially correct – claiming the project restarted the entire script after ‘Across the Spider-Verse’ came out with the studio said to be very undecided about the film’s ending.

The original report suggested reels of animated footage for the project were scrapped due to this creative decision, and both reports suggest we’re years away from seeing the film which likely won’t arrive until after “Spider-Man 4” in the second half of 2026.
