If your Spidey senses were tingling, it’s because “Spider-Man: Beyond the Spider-Verse” has been removed from the Sony calendar as the studio reshuffles its 2023-2024 schedule amid the writers’ and actors’ strikes.
The highly anticipated “Spider-Man” sequel was expected to land in theaters March 29, 2024, following the runaway success of the latest feature in the animated franchise, “Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse,” which has grossed $377 million at the domestic box office and $677 million worldwide to date. The third installment will now likely be pushed back by multiple years.
A new installment to “Ghostbusters: Afterlife,” which was slated to land around Christmas, will move to “Beyond the Spider-Verse’s” Easter weekend slot.
The studio is moving forward with Neill Blomkamp’s video game adaptation “Gran Turismo,” which will preview in select theaters Aug. 11 and Aug. 18 before expanding wide on Aug. 25.
