By Spider-Man: Beyond the Spider-Verse has had its launch date shifted a mere three weeks, sliding from June 4 to June 25, 2027, according to Deadline.
The animated third installment was first slated for March 29, 2024, but went into limbo in July 2023 when the dual WGA writers’ and SAG-AFTRA actors’ stoppage ground production to a halt. It took Sony close to two years to lock in a solid date—one that’s already wobbling.
No official statement accompanied the latest date change; shuffling blockbusters around the calendar is something studio schedulers often do for reasons that rarely surface in public. Occasionally, high-profile titles dodge box-office collisions, but whether that’s the case here remains a mystery.
Beyond the Spider-Verse should not be mistaken for Spider-Man 4—known officially as Spider-Man: Brand New Day—the fourth live-action adventure starring Tom Holland, which is still on track for July 31, 2026.
A plot rundown for Spider-Man: Beyond the Spider-Verse hasn’t surfaced yet, but anyone who caught the Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse finale will already have a hazy blueprint.
During CinemaCon 2025, directors Bob Persichetti and Justin K. Thompson debuted early footage and key frames from the follow-up. The clip shows Miles and Gwen reunited, Miles squaring off against The Prowler, then teaming up with him on an interdimensional escapade. “Everyone keeps telling me how my story is supposed to go,” Miles remarks in the preview.
