Beyond the Spider-Verse Finally Has a Date
Sony has confirmed it: Spider-Man: Beyond the Spider-Verse swings into theaters June 18, 2027, closing out the trilogy that started with Into the Spider-Verse in 2018. The official wrap page bills it as “the final chapter of Sony Pictures Animation’s Oscar-winning Spider-Verse saga” — no more waiting on a vague “in production” line, there’s finally a real date on the calendar.
Why It Matters for Dads
If your house has been living with the Across the Spider-Verse cliffhanger since 2023 — Miles stranded, hunted by his own multiverse’s police force, unable to get home — June 2027 is when that finally pays off. The official synopsis confirms the stakes: Miles is “hunted by Miguel O’Hara’s Spider Society and betrayed by his friends,” and it’s explicitly framed as a race to protect a family “fractured but endangered by his calling.” That’s a heavier, more personal note than the first two films opened on, and worth knowing before a family movie night gets deep into the trilogy — this closer leans into consequence, not just spectacle.

The essential rewatch before Beyond closes out the trilogy — Across ends on the cliffhanger this film resolves.
What We Know About the Story
The official logline is short but loaded: Miles travels “across the wildest reaches of time and space” to fight for everyone he holds dear, after his family gets caught in the fallout of his double life. Returning directors Bob Persichetti and Justin K. Thompson (the team behind Into the Spider-Verse’s Oscar win) are back alongside writers Phil Lord, Christopher Miller and David Callaham, so the creative spine that made the first two films work is fully intact. Production credits list Amy Pascal, Avi Arad and Jinko Gotoh among the producers — the same team that’s steered this saga from the start.
What’s Next
The film isn’t rated yet, and Sony’s credits page is explicitly marked “not final,” so expect more cast and villain reveals as 2027 gets closer. We’ll cover every trailer and reveal as it lands, and our Across the Spider-Verse review is the place to start (or restart) the trilogy before this one arrives.
The Dadnology Take
Two Best Animated Feature wins and zero missteps across the trilogy so far — Beyond has the hardest job of the three, landing every dangling thread at once. June 2027 is a long wait, but a confirmed date beats another year of “no update.”

Why We Can't Wait for Spider-Man: Beyond the Spider-Verse
Beyond the Spider-Verse has the hardest job in animation right now: land a cliffhanger four years in the making without breaking what made the first two films perfect. Here's why we're confident it will — and why the wait has been worth it.
Kraven the Hunter Review: A Raw 3/5 SSU Action Film
Kraven the Hunter is tonally braver than anything else in the SSU — darker, bloodier, more willing to sit in its own brutality. Aaron Taylor-Johnson commits fully. The script doesn't match his commitment. Real action highlights, weak connective tissue. A fair 3/5.
Madame Web Review: A 2/5 Spider-Verse Misfire
Madame Web had a genuinely interesting angle — clairvoyance, fate, a psychic origin story set apart from the punching-and-quipping crowd. The film squanders it completely. Stilted dialogue, jarring editing, and a narrative that goes nowhere and connects to nothing. A 2/5 and the clearest low point of the SSU.
