As a seasoned gamer with memories of the first Spider-Man game I played on the PlayStation 1, the wait for the next installment of this iconic character has been a rollercoaster ride. The live-action movies have certainly added to the excitement, but it’s the animated masterpieces like Into the Spider-Verse and Across the Spider-Verse that truly stole my heart.
For over two decades, Spider-Man has been almost constantly appearing on the big screen as the most visible Marvel character. Actors like Tobey Maguire, Andrew Garfield, and Tom Holland have all portrayed him, often simultaneously, making it seem like he’s omnipresent. However, we find ourselves in an unusual quiet spell, unsure of when the next Spider-Man film will be released. This is particularly odd given that there’s an incomplete trilogy still needing its final chapter.
Sony’s two animated Spider-Man films, specifically “Into the Spider-Verse” and “Across the Spider-Verse,” are often considered among the top Spider-Man movies, even the best superhero flicks ever produced. These movies were huge successes. However, the fate of the third movie, titled “Beyond the Spider-Verse,” remains uncertain. Despite this, it appears that production is ongoing, as Karan Soni, who voices the character “Pavitr Prabhakar” (the Indian Spider-Man), has yet to complete his voice acting work. He recently shared with ETimes…
I’ll be moving forward with the Spider-Man project soon. Recording for this is scheduled in a few months, and I can hardly wait! The movie is currently under heavy production, and since it’s animated, the process takes longer. I don’t have an exact release date yet, but I’m really looking forward to it. Playing that character was one of my greatest pleasures, so getting another opportunity to do so is truly exciting for me.
The planned launch of “Spider-Man: Beyond the Spider-Verse” was initially slated for March 2024, about a year following the premiere of “Across the Spider-Verse.” But after the last film proved to be a massive box office hit, it became evident that the final installment wouldn’t make its deadline. To avoid releasing an inferior product, the decision was made to postpone the release date. The movie is now in a phase of “it will premiere when it’s fully prepared.”
When can we expect it to be completed? Typically, voice acting happens before the animation, which means that if Karan Soni is due to record new lines several months down the line, the scenes he’s working on won’t be ready for screening in theaters anytime soon.
In contrast to live-action films, animated movies undergo a unique development process. Scripts often go through multiple drafts. During the animation phase, the story may still evolve, necessitating discarding previous animations, re-recording dialogues, and creating fresh shots. This continuous evolution typically leads to refining or enhancing the stories as they progress.
If Soni’s upcoming tasks this year complete the puzzle, it might mean an early showing of “Beyond the Spider-Verse”. It might appear on the 2025 release schedule, potentially just a year later than its initial launch date. However, if the film undergoes extensive modifications necessitating additional voice acting and animation, our revisit to the Spider-Verse could be delayed.
