Sony, in April, had officially delayed the release of its two biggest Spider-Man movies — the sequel to Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse, and the third instalment in the Spider-Man: Homecoming trilogy, the Verge had reported.
The Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse’s sequel was slated to be released on April 8, 2022, will now be released on October 7, 2022.
Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse 2 has been in development even before the first instalment was released. Dave Callaham of The Expendables fame is the writer of the movie, while Joaquim Dos Santos (Avatar: The Last Airbender) is the director.
The cast includes Shameik Moore and Hailee Steinfeld as the voice of Miles Morales/Spider-Man and Gwen Stacy/Spider-Gwen, respectively. According to a report by Gadgets260, producer Phil Lord had earlier hinted that Japanese Spider-Man from the 1978 Spider-Man series might also be involved with the film.
The studio is aiming to release a spin-off with Steinfeld as Spider-Gwen after the Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse 2 film.
The first instalment of the series had made $375.5 million worldwide and had won the Oscar for the best-animated film.
