Spider-Verse 3 Finally Gets Positive Update, But Is Still Undated Despite Strike End

While Spider-Man. Beyond the Spider-Verse is moving forward in light of the last remaining Hollywood strike ending, the release date has yet to be determined for the Marvel movie. 2023 became a big year for Miles Morales as Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse ended up being one of the most well-received comic book movies of the year. However, the film series is far from over, as there is still the story of Spider-Man: Beyond the Spider-Verse coming up, following the thrilling cliffhanger at the end of Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse.

With the SAG-AFTRA strike coming to an end thanks to the tentative deal that was made with the AMPTP, Spider-Man: Beyond the Spider-Verse was one of the big movies to get a huge update in a new report from Deadline. Per the trade, the cast will be back to continue recording voiceovers, but there is still no release date in place after Spider-Man: Beyond the Spider-Verse was taken off the 2024 schedule. At the time of this story's publication, Sony Pictures nor anyone involved in the Spider-Man: Beyond the Spider-Verse creative team have commented on the latest report.

According to the makers of the Spider-Verse movies, Spider-Man: Beyond the Spider-Verse will be the trilogy finisher for Miles, although whether it is the last time audience members will see this version of the character remains to be seen. Spider-Man: Beyond the Spider-Verse will not only deal with the emerging threats of Spot and Spider-Man 2099, but also what happened to Earth-42's version of Miles. Outside of those elements, Sony Pictures have been keeping story details on Spider-Man: Beyond the Spider-Verse under wraps.

One of the big theories about Spider-Man: Beyond the Spider-Verse is that the trilogy finale will be a combination of animation and live-action. Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse set the precedent for it when Spot visited Sony's Spider-Man Universe. During the Spider Society scenes, the movie also showed archival footage of Andrew Garfield and Tobey Maguire's Spider-Men, confirming that live-action and animation worlds are all connected across the Spider-Man property, further helping to give the Spider-Man: Across The Spider-Verse cast a massively expansive character roster

Given how secretive updates about Spider-Man: Beyond the Spider-Verse have been, it wouldn't be shocking if further live-action appearances are indeed going to be part of the final movie, with even bigger focus given on crossovers for the last movie. Since the strikes are over, more news should ideally emerge sooner rather than later. Hopefully in the coming weeks and months, Sony Pictures will be able to announce a new and final release date for Spider-Man: Beyond the Spider-Verse.
