Spider-Verse 3’s Release Date Makes Superhero Movie History

by

The upcoming movie “Spider-Man: Beyond the Spider-Verse” has a new release date and is set to surpass an unfortunate record in the Marvel cinematic universe. Initially scheduled for release on March 29, 2024, the sequel was expected to follow closely on the heels of its predecessor, “Across the Spider-Verse,” which would have been only 304 days apart. However, due to factors such as Hollywood strikes in 2023 and production issues, a quick turnaround to wrap up the sequel’s thrilling cliffhanger proved unrealistic. As a result, the third installment has been pushed back to June 4, 2027, marking a significant delay from its original date. Additionally, both sequels underwent a title change, dropping the “Part One” and “Part Two” from their names.

On June 4, 2027, the much-anticipated film “Beyond the Spider-Verse” will hit screens, marking a record-breaking gap of 1162 days since its initially scheduled release on March 29, 2024. This unprecedented delay will write a new chapter in Marvel movie chronicles, surpassing the previous record holder, “The New Mutants,” which had a 868-day delay from its original release date.

  1. Spider-Man: Beyond the Spider-Verse: March 29, 2024 – June 4, 2027 (1162 days)
  2. The New Mutants: April 13, 2018 – August 28, 2020 (868 days)
  3. Kraven the Hunter – January 13, 2023 – December 13, 2024 (700 days)
  4. Morbius – July 10, 2020 – April 1, 2022 (631 days)
  5. Avengers 5: May 2, 2025 – December 18, 2026 (596 days, retitled from The Kang Dynasty to Doomsday)
  6. Avengers: Secret Wars: May 7, 2026 – December 17, 2027 (590 days)
  7. The Marvels: July 8, 2022 – November 10, 2023 (490 days)
  8. Black Widow: May 11, 2020 – July 9, 2021 (434 days)

It’s significant to mention that, given its initial release date was set for November 3, 2023 (668 days ago), the movie “Blade” might surpass the box office record of “Spider-Verse 3.” However, there is currently no script, director, or production in progress. After several postponements and its removal from the Marvel Cinematic Universe schedule, it’s uncertain if the reboot will actually happen. If it does, it would need to be released by January 2027 at the latest, as not to exceed the delay record of “Spider-Verse 3.

Why Spider-Verse 3’s Release Delay Is a Great Thing

As a dedicated Spidey fan, I can’t help but feel a pang of disappointment learning about the three-year delay for “Beyond the Spider-Verse.” This undoubtedly means an extended break between our web-slinging adventures, with only half of the four-year gap between the original “Spider-Verse” flicks yet to be bridged. However, it’s important to remember that this delay is still slightly shorter than the staggering four-and-a-half-year wait we endured between the franchise’s first two episodes. Here’s hoping the wait will be worth it!

After having sufficient time for its creation, the creative team behind “Spider-Verse 2” has successfully developed a sequel to one of the best comic book movies ever made, with some claiming it surpasses the original. If “Beyond” delivers on its promise, the “Spider-Verse” trilogy could potentially be compared to “The Dark Knight” saga as one of the greatest comic book movie franchises to have graced screens.

The anticipated release date for Spider-Verse 3 positions it perfectly, as Marvel enthusiasm is expected to reach its peak in years. Not only will it be roughly a year following Spider-Man: Brand New Day, but also strategically positioned between Avengers: Doomsday and Secret Wars. Additionally, there’s a possibility that it may debut one month before an MCU film slated for July 2027.

Although the Spider-Verse trilogy has reached its conclusion officially, the tales of our web-slinging hero will continue beyond this point, with three characters slated for separate spin-off stories.
