Spider-Man: Beyond the Spider-Verse release date, cast and all you need to know

Spider-Man: Beyond the Spider-Verse has made us wait, but it is officially arriving in June 2027 after a long delay from the original March 2024 release date. New footage has also now debuted at CinemaCon following last year's first look, so hopefully there are no more delays coming.

While we won't get to see the footage that was debuted at CinemaCon 2026, we did get treated to four new images from the eagerly-awaited threequel, including a first look at Spider-Punk's return. The footage also confirmed, unsurprisingly, that the movie will pick up immediately from Across the Spider-Verse's cliffhanger.

As we continue the long wait to see the movie, here's everything you need to know about Spider-Man: Beyond the Spider-Verse.

After various moves, Spider-Man: Beyond the Spider-Verse is currently set to land in cinemas on 18 June 2027. That's a slight move forward from its previous date of 25 June 2027, so positive news for once.

It's still a delay of more than three years from the original release date of 29 March 2024, but the filmmakers have assured fans that the delays have only been to make sure the movie lives up to the previous two.

If you need some new(ish) Spider-Verse content right now, Sony released The Spider Within: A Spider-Verse Story on YouTube in March 2024. It's a short movie set in the Spider-Verse world that sees Miles Morales experience a panic attack and learn that asking for help is as heroic as anything.

Shameik Moore and Hailee Steinfeld will return as Miles Morales and Gwen Stacy, respectively, and they're joined by the likes of Jason Schwartzman as The Spot, Karan Soni as Pavitr Prabhakar (Spider-Man India) and Daniel Kaluuya as Hobie Brown (Spider-Punk).

We don't yet know whether Oscar Isaac will be back as Miguel O'Hara (Spider-Man 2099) or Issa Rae as Jessica Drew (Spider-Woman), but we do know that Jake Johnson is back as Peter B Parker and, of course, Brian Tyree Henry and Luna Lauren Vélez as Miles' parents Jefferson Davis and Rio Morales.

Behind the scenes, Bob Persichetti – who co-directed the first movie – and Justin K Thompson – who co-directed the second movie – are directing the new movie.

But who else can we expect to see? We're about to head into some Across the Spider-Verse spoilers, so look away now if you (somehow) haven't seen the movie.

The end of Across the Spider-Verse sees Gwen pull together her group of Spider-Men from across the multiverse, including Spider-Man Noir and Spider-Ham from the first movie. That means Nicolas Cage and John Mulaney will reprise their Spidey roles in the next movie.

We were already introduced to a lot more Spider-People in the sequel, including Andy Samberg's Ben Reilly (Scarlet Spider) and Amandla Stenberg's Margo Kess (Spider-Byte), but apparently, there's still more to come.

Funnily enough, a plastic variant of Spider-Man was almost featured in the movie. Director Dos Santos told Empire: "One of the Toy-Biz Spider-Man toys was going to show up and he was going to have a giant kid's hand that would go off-screen and hold him."

Imagination has no limits in this saga. "Believe it or not. You thought that you've seen every Spider-Person that you could imagine, but not every Spider-Person we can imagine," Lord teased to Collider.

Bring it on.

Along with the new images at CinemaCon, Sony released the official synopsis for Spider-Man: Beyond the Spider-Verse. "Hunted by Miguel O’Hara's Spider Society and betrayed by his friends, Miles finds himself in the darkest corners of the Spider-Verse in search of a way home," it reads.

"Knowing that his family has been not only fractured but endangered by his calling, it's a race against the clock for Miles to travel across the wildest reaches of time and space to fight for and reunite everything he holds most dear."

Confused? Let's recap the ending of Across the Spider-Verse to help out.

Miles is stuck in Earth-42 and at the mercy of that universe's Miles Morales, who is the Prowler. In that universe, his mother is going out with his Uncle Aaron and his father is dead.

That universe is one without a Spider-Man, as the spider that bit our Miles was transported to his universe (Earth-1610) by The Spot.

Luckily, help might be on the way for Miles because, as mentioned above, Gwen now has her own Spidey team to go and rescue him – once they work out where he is.

Miles needs to get back to his own universe, as The Spot is planning to kill his father when he becomes police captain. It's set to be a "canon event" in his timeline that Miles wants to stop, but Miguel wants to see it happen to protect the Spider-Verse.

We can expect Miles, Gwen and co versus Miguel, Jessica and the rest of the Spider Society to form the basis of Beyond the Spider-Verse with Miles trying to save his father.

Like the sequel introduced a different version of Miles, the threequel is set to feature at least one other version of Gwen Stacy. "I would say that, yes. It's on the page. I think that... these things evolve as they go," writer/producer Christopher Miller told the Crew Call podcast.

He also teased that we might see the death of Gwen Stacy storyline from the comics play out with one of these versions: "I'm not gonna say anything… But it is sort of plot-integral, I would say."

Brian Tyree Henry has also been teasing the emotions of the new movie, saying: "Get your hankies ready, it's gonna go there."

Prepare yourself, though, as Beyond the Spider-Verse is almost definitely the end of Miles' story for now. It was referred to as "the last of the Spider-Verse movies" by Sony Pictures boss Tom Rothman in an interview with Deadline in May 2024.

Sadly not yet as the Spider-Man: Beyond the Spider-Verse footage that was screened at CinemaCon in both 2025 and 2026 has remained exclusive to the event, and hasn't made its way online.

Perhaps we'll get lucky and see a teaser attached to the release of Spider-Man: Brand New Day in cinemas in July, but that's just speculation from us for now.

Spider-Man: Beyond the Spider-Verse is released in cinemas on 18 June 2027.
