By Bob Persichetti and Justin K. Thompson have officially been set as directors of Sony Animation’s “Spider-Man: Beyond the Spider-Verse” – the third film in the animated saga.
Persichetti co-directed the first film “Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse” and executive produced the second “Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse”. Thompson was a production designer on the first and a co-director on the second.
The two previous films had three co-directors but this marks the first with two it seems. All three productions have Phil Lord and Chris Miller as producers with both heavily involved in their creation.
In a statement to Deadline, the helmers say:
“We have had the immense privilege of being part of Miles’ journey from the very beginning, and directing the conclusion to his story is beyond exciting. The creativity and care poured into every minute of this project has been truly inspiring. We have crafted what we feel is a very satisfying ending, and we can’t wait for fans to experience it – we’re bringing everything we’ve got!”
Plot details for the new film remain under wraps at this time with the screenplay penned by Lord, Miller, and David Callaham. Amy Pascal, Avi Arad, and Jinko Gotoh serve as producers. The film does not have a release date presently.
