Release + production timeline

How a March 2024 movie became a June 2027 movie

The timeline separates schedule changes from production and marketing milestones.

  1. Across the Spider-Verse opens.

    Its cliffhanger makes the third film an immediate continuation rather than a separate standalone adventure.

  2. The original March 29, 2024 date is removed.

    Sony takes Beyond off the calendar amid Hollywood labor strikes and production disruption.

  3. Directors are formally announced.

    Spider-Verse veterans Bob Persichetti and Justin K. Thompson are named to direct the finale.

  4. June 4, 2027 is announced at CinemaCon.

    Sony also unveils first-look images and footage, re-establishing the film on the theatrical calendar.

  5. The date moves to June 25, 2027.

    The shift places the film later in June.

  6. The date moves forward one week to June 18, 2027.

    That remains Sony's current U.S. date.

  7. Sony shows a new scene at CinemaCon 2026.

    The presentation includes an exclusive peek at the finale; Sony later publishes a first-look still through its corporate blog.

  8. Sony's newest corporate film slate still lists June 18, 2027.

    This is the most recent primary-source schedule confirmation checked for this build.

  9. Unfinished footage leaks online.

    The leak is unauthorized and is not treated here as official marketing or as a source for new plot claims.

Story setup

What Sony says the finale is about

Miles Morales is trying to get home while Miguel O'Hara's Spider Society hunts him. Sony's current synopsis says his family has been fractured and endangered, turning the finale into a race across time and space to reunite what matters most to him.

This is a concise paraphrase of Sony Pictures Animation's current official synopsis, not a fan plot prediction.

The sequel must resolve

  • Earth-42: Miles is stranded away from his home universe.
  • Family: the danger to Miles's parents remains central.
  • Spider Society: Miles and Miguel's conflict over “canon” is unresolved.
  • The Spot: the threat established in Across is still active.
Spoiler-safe by default Reveal the ending setup from Across the Spider-Verse

Miles uses the Spider Society's “go home” machine but is sent to Earth-42 because the spider that bit him came from that universe. There, his father is dead, his uncle Aaron is alive, and the Earth-42 version of Miles is the Prowler. Back on Earth-1610, Gwen assembles allies to find him while The Spot's threat to Miles's family escalates.

Video intent

Trailer status: still waiting for Sony's public Beyond trailer

Official public Beyond trailer Not released

As of Aug. 15, 2026, Sony has shown footage at CinemaCon but has not published a public Beyond trailer on its project page. The leaked unfinished footage is not embedded here.

What you can watch here now An official Across trailer

Because Beyond begins directly from the previous film's cliffhanger, this is the most useful legitimate public video refresher while the official third-film trailer remains unavailable.

Important: this is an official trailer for Across the Spider-Verse, not a Beyond trailer. It is embedded for story context, not presented as new footage.

Where it will be watchable

The release path we can state without inventing dates

01 Theaters

U.S. release scheduled for June 18, 2027.

02 Home entertainment / VOD

Exact timing has not been announced.

03 Netflix pay-1 window

Sony's 2026 global Netflix deal names Beyond among upcoming titles; an exact streaming date is not announced.

04 Later Disney window

The Sony distribution arrangement provides for a later Disney window after Netflix; timing varies and remains unannounced for this film.

Streaming-window information is based on Sony's 2026 distribution agreement reported by Reuters. This page does not convert a studio deal into a made-up streaming date.

Questions fans keep checking

Fast answers without rumor inflation

When does Spider-Man: Beyond the Spider-Verse come out?

Sony's current U.S. release date is June 18, 2027. It is a scheduled future date, not a guarantee; this site last verified it on August 15, 2026.

Why was Beyond the Spider-Verse delayed?

The film was originally dated for March 29, 2024, then removed from Sony's calendar in July 2023 amid the Hollywood labor strikes and production delays. Sony later re-dated it for 2027 and shifted that 2027 date twice before settling on June 18.

Is there an official Beyond the Spider-Verse trailer?

Not publicly, as of this site's August 15, 2026 verification. Sony has screened exclusive footage at CinemaCon. Unfinished footage leaked online on August 14, but that is not an official trailer release and is not hosted here.

Is Beyond the Spider-Verse the last Spider-Verse movie?

It is the final chapter of this Miles Morales Spider-Verse trilogy. That does not mean Sony will never make another Spider-Verse project; separate spin-off development has been reported, but those projects are not the same as this trilogy finale.

Will Tom Holland be in Beyond the Spider-Verse?

There is no official confirmation on Sony's current project page or public first-look materials that Tom Holland appears in the film. Treat cameo claims as unconfirmed unless Sony or the filmmakers announce them.

How long is the movie?

No official runtime has been announced. Runtime claims circulating before Sony publishes one should be treated as unconfirmed.

Will it stream on Netflix?

Sony's 2026 global pay-1 agreement with Netflix includes Beyond the Spider-Verse among upcoming titles after theatrical and home-entertainment windows. The film's exact Netflix date has not been announced.

Is the June 18, 2027 date definitely final?

No future studio release date is immune to change. The useful distinction is that June 18 is currently official and recently re-confirmed, not that it is impossible for Sony to move it later.

Bottom line

What you need to know right now

June 18, 2027 is the current U.S. theatrical date. The movie is the finale of Miles Morales's animated Spider-Verse trilogy, is directed by Bob Persichetti and Justin K. Thompson, and has shown substantial footage privately at CinemaCon. Sony has not yet released a public Beyond trailer. Unfinished leaked footage circulating in August 2026 is not official marketing and is not used here as evidence.
