Alright, let’s do this one last time. In 2018, the wizards at Sony Pictures Animation changed the animation game with Spider-Man: Into The Spider-Verse. In 2023, under Joaquim Dos Santos, Kemp Powers, and Justin K. Thompson’s direction, they changed it again with the multiversal madness of Across The Spider-Verse, leaving Miles Morales (Shameik Moore) and his pals in a very precarious position with a humdinger of a cliffhanger ending. Now, at long last (and after a delay or two), Bob Persichetti and Justin K. Thompson — alongside franchise producers Phil Lord and Chris Miller — are finally ready to deliver trilogy capper Spider-Man: Beyond The Spider-Verse. And if Sony’s newly released first-look images from the movie are anything to go by, then it’s gonna be emotional. Check them out below;
Hoo boy — CinemaCon, you have delivered! There’s a lot to get stuck into with these modern shots from Beyond The Spider-Verse, but the upshot is we are very worried about Miles Morales’ dad, Officer Jefferson (Brian Tyree Henry). Miles and his senior man having a heart-to-heart against a golden hour backdrop? Young Uncle Aaron (Mahershala Ali) and Jefferson Davis flashbacks? Hobie ‘Spider-Punk’ Brown (Daniel Kaluuya) on a mission to save Miles’ Dad? Yeah, consider us worried. And that’s before accounting for Miles — Earth-1610 Miles, that is (there’s no shots of Jharrel Jerome’s alt-universe Prowler Miles G. Morales here) — being about to get his lights turned out by a very livid looking, glitching Miguel O’Hara (Oscar Isaac).
If there was any concern that Beyond The Spider-Verse may struggle to live up to ASTV and its jaw-slackening finale, in which Miles found himself face-to-face with his decidedly more antagonistic Earth-42 self, then consider those concerns suitably quashed. And that’s even without seeing the fresh looks at The Spot and the rest of Miles’ Spider-Society chums reportedly shown during Sony’s CinemaCon presentation.
Written by Dave Callaham, Phil Lord, and Chris Miller, and now set to hit cinemas on 18 June, 2027, almost a whole decade since Into The Spider-Verse first came along and blew our minds, things are really starting to shape up for Spider-Man: Beyond The Spider-Verse to deliver a truly epic, emotional Spider saga finale. Until then, until the day the Spider-Verse trilogy (hopefully) takes its place among the greatest movie trilogies ever made, there’s the tiny matter of a Spider-Noir series and Spider-Man: Brand New Day to look forward to next. Webheads, assemble!
