Sony’s Spider-Verse is On the Move

Sony Pictures Animation has officially shifted the release date of Spider-Man: Beyond the Spider-Verse, the highly anticipated conclusion to its animated trilogy, from June 4 to June 25, 2027.

While the delay is a modest three weeks, it marks yet another adjustment in the film’s long and winding journey to theaters. Studio insiders revealed that the new date was chosen to better align with summer break schedules—by June 25, all U.S. schools will be out, compared to only 65% on the original date.

This strategic timing is expected to boost attendance among younger audiences and improve performance in international markets. Beyond the Spider-Verse picks up immediately after the cliffhanger ending of Across the Spider-Verse (2023), with Miles Morales on the run in an alternate universe.

Directors Bob Persichetti and Justin K. Thompson return, while the screenplay is penned by franchise architects Phil Lord, Christopher Miller, and David Callaham. The trilogy began with Into the Spider-Verse (2018), which won the Oscar for Best Animated Feature and grossed $384 million globally. Its sequel, Across the Spider-Verse, earned a staggering $690 million and cemented the franchise’s reputation for bold storytelling and groundbreaking animation.
