Spider-Man: Beyond the Spider-Verse has officially been delayed, but fans won’t have to wait much longer.
Sony Pictures has moved the highly anticipated animated film’s release date from June 4 to June 25, 2027 — a strategic decision designed to maximize the film's summer box office performance.
According to Variety, the three-week delay was made to ensure the movie opens when “100% of schools in the U.S. will be on summer break,” giving younger audiences full access to the film’s theatrical debut. The timing aims to capitalize on the popularity of Miles Morales and the Spider-Verse franchise among school-aged fans.
Originally announced for a March 2024 release, Beyond the Spider-Verse has endured multiple delays. Production was halted due to the WGA and SAG-AFTRA strikes in 2023. By the end of 2024, the studio scrapped much of the existing material, leading to a near-complete restart. It wasn’t until CinemaCon 2025 that the current release date was confirmed.
The trilogy began with the groundbreaking Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse in 2018, which grossed nearly $400 million globally and introduced Miles Morales to the big screen. Its 2023 sequel, Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse, received critical acclaim and cemented the franchise’s status as one of the most beloved animated series of the decade.
Now, with Beyond the Spider-Verse set to conclude the trilogy, fans can expect a spectacular sendoff — just a little later than planned.
