Spider-Man: Beyond the Spider-Verse receives a significant update from a key figure in the animated Marvel franchise. Following the exhilarating ending of Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse, fans have eagerly awaited the release of Spider-Man: Beyond the Spider-Verse, the final chapter in Miles Morales’ trilogy. Although Sony Pictures has yet to announce a new release date, the highly anticipated threequel is still in the works.
During a recent interview with ScreenRant’s Liam Crowley about his film Unstoppable on Prime Video, Jharrel Jerome was asked if he had begun voice recording for Spider-Man: Beyond the Spider-Verse, which still lacks a release date. Jerome, who first voiced Miles G. Morales in Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse, revealed that he hasn’t started recording yet. However, he expressed excitement about returning to the role, admitting he’s “as much in the dark as you,” while sharing this update:
Jharrel Jerome: I haven't, but I also can't really say so much more because, you know, that's such a tight-knit ship. I don't even know much. I'm as much in the dark as you, but I'm excited to get back into it and see what they're thinking, especially involving my character. That was such a badass twist to the last one.
Implications of Jharrel Jerome’s Remarks for Spider-Man: Beyond the Spider-Verse
With animation production still underway, the cast of Spider-Man: Beyond the Spider-Verse can record their scenes individually at convenient times, as simultaneous recording isn’t necessary. The creative team may have scheduled Jerome to record his dialogue at a later stage. Given the current timeline, it wouldn’t be surprising if Jerome steps into the recording booth by Q1 or Q2 of 2025.
Reasons Behind the Delay of Spider-Man: Beyond the Spider-Verse
Spider-Man: Beyond the Spider-Verse was originally scheduled for release on March 29, 2024, less than a year after Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse, which premiered in June 2023. However, in July 2023, Sony removed the threequel from its release calendar indefinitely. This decision seemed to be influenced, at least in part, by the WGA and SAG-AFTRA strikes underway at the time, which likely complicated the film’s production process.
As of December 2024, there’s still no official update on the release date for Spider-Man: Beyond the Spider-Verse, despite the WGA and SAG-AFTRA strikes having ended some time ago. In September 2024, reports surfaced suggesting the film could be delayed until 2027 due to planned creative overhauls. However, producer and writer Christopher Miller dismissed these claims on X, clarifying that “Nothing has been scrapped. The reels are coming along nicely.”
The extended production time for Spider-Man: Beyond the Spider-Verse seems to reflect the complexity of the project itself. Its visually stunning art style demands considerable time to maintain the high-quality standard established by previous installments. Given that Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse was released five years after the original Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse, it’s clear that creating such an ambitious film is a time-intensive process—especially when crafting a satisfying conclusion to such an iconic franchise.
