Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse” and “Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse” were both major successes, with the former even snagging an Oscar for “Best Animated Feature.” Fans eagerly await the conclusion of the story in the upcoming “Spider-Man: Beyond the Spider-Verse.” But what lies beyond that?
Although there were talks of a Spider-Woman spin-off, it appears those plans have stalled, likely due to the focus on the latest Spider-Verse projects. However, recent discussions have surfaced regarding potential animated films centered around characters like Spider-Punk and Venom.
Rumors of an R-rating for one or both of these projects have also circulated, adding an intriguing twist to the Spider-Verse universe. Now, scooper Daniel Richtman, via Toonado.com, has provided an update on Sony Animation’s plans, revealing that at least two more Spider-Man animated movies are in development.
Despite limited details, it’s speculated that Miles Morales’ story will conclude with “Beyond the Spider-Verse,” especially considering the buzz surrounding potential live-action plans for the character. As excitement builds for the future of the Spider-Verse, fans can’t wait to see where this web-slinging adventure takes us next.
“It will be a very satisfying conclusion,” producer and writer Phil Lord previously said of the upcoming threequel. “It goes even more emotionally deep into the relationships between Miles, Gwen, Peter B., [and Miles’] parents.”
“The big thing that’s interesting for Miles [in Beyond the Spider-Verse] is how do you deal with a sense of betrayal and turn it into something affirmative?” Lord added. “And I think that the thing that we try to do with these movies is represent goodness and show how the love that the characters in the movie have for Miles translates into his growth and success.”
Last year, Chris Miller, Phil Lord’s fellow producer and writing partner, expressed hesitations about the daunting prospect of creating more animated Spider-Verse movies.
Regarding the female-led project featuring Hailee Steinfeld’s Spider-Gwen and Issa Rae’s Jessica Drew, there’s still hope it will materialize despite setbacks like the shelving of the female-led Madame Web project.
The fate of these projects remains uncertain, with obstacles like Madame Web’s failure potentially hindering their journey to the big screen. Only time will reveal whether these promising ventures will eventually grace theaters.
“These things are very exhausting, hugely ambitious, and take a lot of people working really hard and dedicating themselves to doing something new and special, so after each one we’re all so exhausted,” said Chris Miller. “Knowing that we have another one that we have to finish is daunting in its own way because we wanna make sure that it’s as excellent as those that came before it, and surprising and new, and unlike anything you’ve ever seen before.”
“So thinking about beyond doing this trilogy is quite terrifying.”
If Lord and Miller decide to depart from the Spider-Verse, it’s reasonable to assume that anticipation for future movies will diminish. Their creative touch has been integral to the success of these animated adventures, highlighting a stark contrast with Sony’s live-action endeavours, which have often fallen short.
