Fans eagerly awaiting the release of the third installment in the Spider-Verse saga, "Beyond the Spider-Verse," will have to practice patience, as star Jharrel Jerome has confirmed that production is yet to begin. In a candid interview with Decider, Jerome revealed that he hasn't even recorded any lines for the film yet, indicating that many aspects of the project are still in the planning stages. "No, I wish," Jerome stated when asked about the progress, adding, "We haven’t started up yet. A lot of things being figured out, but good things."
The wait for "Beyond the Spider-Verse" isn't surprising, considering the gap between the first film, "Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse," and the second, "Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse," which released in 2023, five years after the original. Jerome, who played a pivotal role in the second film as Miles G. Morales from Earth-42, is expected to take on a more central antagonistic role in the upcoming movie. In a significant twist at the end of "Across the Spider-Verse," Jerome's character emerges not as Spider-Man but as the Prowler, setting the stage for a dramatic confrontation.
In the alternate universe of Earth-42, the life of Miles G. Morales took a darker turn. The radioactive spider that was meant to bite him instead found its way to another reality, leaving Miles G. Morales without the powers of Spider-Man. Following the death of his universe's Peter Parker, New York fell under the control of supervillains, and Miles G. Morales joined their ranks as the Prowler. The clash between this version of Miles and the main universe's Spider-Man, Miles Morales, promises to be a key focus of "Beyond the Spider-Verse."
While fans are eager to see how this narrative unfolds, they will need to wait a bit longer. According to Deadline, "Beyond the Spider-Verse" is not expected to hit theaters until 2026 at the earliest. However, if the film follows the release pattern of its predecessor, it might not arrive until 2028.
