Spider-Man: Beyond the Spider-Verse star Jharrel Jerome has given a disappointing update on the upcoming threequel.
The animated film was originally set to swing into cinemas in March 2024, but was taken off the Sony release schedule in July 2023 and is still yet to receive a release date.
While Pavitr Prabhakar, aka Spider-Man India, told The Times of India in August 2024 that recording would start "in a few months", Jerome has now confirmed that things "haven't started up yet".

"No, I wish," he told Decider when asked if production on the film had started. "We haven’t started up yet. A lot of things [are] being figured out, but good things."
Jerome voices Earth-42's Miles G Morales, aka the Prowler. At the end of Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse, Shameik Moore's Miles Morales was transported to Earth-42, leaving him at the mercy of the Prowler.

"We have had the immense privilege of being part of Miles’ journey from the very beginning, and directing the conclusion to his story is beyond exciting," the pair said in a statement.
"The creativity and care poured into every minute of this project has been truly inspiring. We have crafted what we feel is a very satisfying ending, and we can’t wait for fans to experience it – we’re bringing everything we’ve got!"
Meanwhile, Beyond the Spider-Verse producer Chris Miller previously denied reports suggesting that the upcoming film has been delayed due to problems behind the scenes.
"Nothing has been scrapped. The reels are coming along nicely," he said in response to reports.
Spider-Man: Beyond the Spider-Verse currently has no release date.
