Why it matters

The conclusion of the animated trilogy whose first two films changed what mainstream animation is allowed to look like.

About Spider-Man: Beyond the Spider-Verse

The third and final film in the animated trilogy, Spider-Man: Beyond the Spider-Verse picks up from the cliffhanger that ended Across the Spider-Verse, with Miles Morales stranded in the wrong universe and his friends scattered across others. Shameik Moore returns as Miles, with Bob Persichetti and Justin K. Thompson directing for Columbia Pictures and Sony Pictures Animation. The first two films did something unusual for mainstream animation: each universe got its own line weight, frame rate and palette, and the approach has been imitated widely enough since to count as a house style.

It opens on June 18, 2027, after a long stretch of movement. The film was once set for March 2024, pulled from the calendar during the 2023 strikes, and rescheduled more than once since, so the date is worth treating as recent rather than settled. As a conclusion it leans entirely on the previous film: Across the Spider-Verse stopped mid-story rather than ending, and this is the other half of it.
