Spider-Man: Beyond the Spider-Verse delayed

Spider-Man: Beyond the Spider-Verse is yet another film — alongside Deadpool 3 — subject to delays thanks to the ongoing WGA and SAG-AFTRA strikes. Unlike the new Karate Kid, though, Sony hasn’t given us any clues when it will hit theaters.

As Variety reports, Sony had to make some serious changes to its upcoming film lineup to accommodate the strikes. Beyond the Spider-Verse went from opening on March 29, 2024, to being undated, meaning it’s actually possible — if the strike goes on for too long — that it could skip 2024 entirely, though, that all boils down to how long the strike does go on for.

This will be the third installment of Sony’s Spider-Verse line, spearheaded by Phil Lord and Chris Miller. Shameik Moore Miles Morales, voiced by Shameik Moore, as he continues his exploits with his Spider-Friends.

The two previous entries have made killings not just at the box office but also in award ceremonies, with Across the Spider-Verse bagging Best Picture at the HCAs. Meanwhile, 2018’s Into the Spider-Verse nabbed Best Animated Picture awards at the Golden Globes, Critics Choice Awards, and Oscars. The last of which is particularly important as it broke the long-running chain of Disney or Pixar dominating the Best Animated Picture category.

This will surely hit some Spider-Man fans hard, but we’re sure it’ll be worth the wait.
