Sony developing Spider‑Punk animated film with Daniel Kaluuya and Ajon Singh

Daniel Kaluuya and Ajon Singh are co‑writing a Sony animated Spider‑Punk feature based on the character Hobie Brown.

Sony Pictures Animation is reported to be developing an animated feature centred on Spider‑Punk, co‑written by actor Daniel Kaluuya and writer Ajon Singh. Daniel Kaluuya voiced Spider‑Punk in Spider‑Man: Across the Spider‑Verse (2023) and is expected to reprise the role.

The project builds on the creative team behind the Spider‑Verse films. Amy Pascal will produce in collaboration with Phil Lord and Christopher Miller, continuing their work from previous animated entries in the franchise.

Spider‑Punk, also known as Hobie Brown, was created by writer Dan Slott and artist Olivier Coipel. Introduced in The Amazing Spider‑Man #10 in 2015, the character hails from Earth‑138 and embodies a rebellious anti‑establishment ethos, keen to dismantle corrupt systems.

The animated feature joins Sony’s growing Spider‑Man universe, which includes the upcoming Spider‑Man: Beyond the Spider‑Verse (scheduled for release on 25 June 2027) and the live‑action spin-off series Spider‑Noir, set to premiere on MGM+ next year with Nicolas Cage in the title role.

Ajon Singh recently wrote and executive produced the upcoming A24 film Primetime, while Kaluuya continues to expand his work behind the camera, having made his directorial debut with Netflix’s The Kitchen and set to produce a live‑action Barney film in collaboration with Mattel and A24.

Kaluuya is represented by WME, B Side, and Johnson Shapiro Slewett & Kole. Singh is represented by WME, Untitled Entertainment, and Ziffren Brittenham.

As Marvel fans await further news, neither plot details nor further production deals have been confirmed at this time.
