The original Into the Spider-Verse was met with acclaim from fans and critics alike, which made excitement and anticipation for Across the Spider-Verse quite high. With this film confirmed to be only one chapter in an overall story that’s planned as a trilogy, the film concluded with a thrilling cliffhanger, which makes fans even more excited for the ultimate conclusion of the trilogy. While the third film was originally slated to hit theaters in 2024, Sony has since delayed its release date, leaving audiences to speculate about when the story could be concluded.
The ongoing writers’ and actors’ strikes understandably are impacting the development of the movie, but with these unions being different from some of the animation guilds, certain aspects of Spider-Man: Beyond the Spider-Verse are still able to move forward.
