‘Beyond the Spider-Verse’ Release Date Moves to End of June 2027

Miles Morales will be swinging into theaters a tad later than previously planned. Spider-Man: Beyond the Spider-Verse will now bow on June 25, 2027, three weeks later from its planned June 4, 2027 date.

Insiders say the later date will be better for bringing in school-aged kids for summer break, as some schools would still be in session at the earlier date. It’s also seen as a more appealing date internationally.

The Spider-Verse franchise is a crown jewel for Sony. 2018’s Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse won the studio an Oscar for best animated feature, and earned $393.6 million globally. It is still cited today as a game-changing movie thanks to its inventive, kinetic animation style. 2023’s Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse was a hit, earning $690.5 million globally in a demonstration of how the franchise had only gained in popularity in the five years between installments.

Beyond the Spider-Verse will arrive four years after Across the Spider-Verse ended on a cliffhanger. Bob Persichetti and Justin K. Thompson direct from a script that franchise masterminds Phil Lord and Chris Miller wrote with David Callaham.

The studio also set the animated feature Buds for March 12, 2027.
