‘Spider-Man: Beyond the Spider-Verse’ Reportedly Scrapped & Rewritten

As a devoted fan of the Spider-Verse franchise, I must admit that I find myself swinging between hope and apprehension when it comes to the upcoming sequel, “Beyond the Spider-Verse”. The latest rumors suggest that the movie is facing some production challenges, with Sony reportedly scrapping what they had already completed and rewriting the script. This news leaves me feeling like I’m stuck in a never-ending loop of waiting – much like Peter Parker when he gets tangled in his own webs!


It’s looking unlikely that we’ll see the continuation of “Spider-Man: Beyond the Spider-Verse” anytime soon, according to recent whispers. With the release date for the sequel, titled “Across the Spider-Verse“, having been shifted from its initial 2024 slot, fans have been left guessing about the project’s status. At present, there is no confirmed release date, and Sony has yet to publicly confirm the delay. Speculation has been rife regarding production issues behind the scenes, and the latest gossip offers an explanation for why work on “Beyond the Spider-Verse” appears stalled.

Based on information from Brandon Davis (via World of Reel), it appears that Sony abandoned the work they had already finished for “Beyond the Spider-Verse” not long after the premiere of “Across the Spider-Verse.” The script was discarded and is now being rewritten, with uncertainty as to whether this process has been completed yet. Remarkably, it seems that the studio still doesn’t have a concluding scene planned for the trilogy, and this situation remains unchanged. Keep in mind that these details should be viewed with a degree of skepticism until confirmed, but there have been hints suggesting this development over the past year. The original release date for “Beyond the Spider-Verse,” which was set for March 29, 2024, is no longer on Sony’s schedule.

Earlier reports indicated that the making of the film had gone through significant changes, pushing its release date to 2027. However, the creators of “Beyond the Spider-Verse” contested this information. Nevertheless, it’s not uncommon for Hollywood to try and hide development issues. It’s unfortunate that the animators working on the sequel might have their work affected due to script revisions and confusion behind the scenes. With the upcoming MCU sequel featuring Tom Holland and Sony’s “Kraven the Hunter,” Spider-Man fans have a lot to look forward to in the near future. However, the beloved “Spider-Verse” franchise carries a heavy burden of expectations.

‘Beyond the Spider-Verse’ Production Gets Conflicting Reports

Most reviews about “Spider-Man: Beyond the Spider-Verse” have been quite underwhelming, to put it mildly. However, there seems to be a glimmer of hope. Actor Karan Soni, who plays Pavitr Prabhakar in the series, mentioned earlier this year that the cast was supposed to record their voiceovers around now. Whether this plan is still in place is uncertain, but his statement provided a positive boost for fans eagerly waiting for news from the popular franchise. In his own words:

As a film enthusiast, I can hardly contain my excitement as we’re set to begin recording for this project in just a few months. This movie is deep into production, and being an animation, it’s a unique experience that requires patience and dedication. While I don’t know exactly when it will be completed or released, I eagerly anticipate its arrival.

It appears that Beyond the Spider-Verse is progressing steadily according to statements from its producers and actors. Yet, there’s a persistent cloud of concern due to recurring reports about production troubles. One particularly unsettling aspect is the alleged treatment of animators due to continual script revisions during production. Across the Spider-Verse was known for frequently altering scenes and fine-tuning others even after its theatrical release, culminating in a different version of the film being distributed digitally and physically.
