There is a hidden trend of Marvel releasing a Spider-Man game and an animated movie in the same year. This started with Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse, first released in 2018, coinciding with the release year of Marvel’s Spider-Man. This trend continued during the release of the subsequent movie and game as well. Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse was released earlier this year and Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 is about to drop.

Looking at this, it’s not uncommon to speculate that fans will get to see this happen again with the release of the Spider-Man 3 game. With Spider-Man: Beyond the Spider-Verse initially planned to launch on March 29, 2024, it would seem difficult to see the release of a new game. With the movie’s release being delayed, there is a possibility that it might happen. The executive producers of the Spider-Verse franchise have made an official statement saying that the movie will release “when it’s ready”.

Given that, speculators anticipate the movie’s current release window to be in 2025 or later. As there are many issues around the production of the movie at the moment, the delays give players hope of seeing the trend continue. It is important to note that the years of the game and movie coinciding are also just a coincidence. So far, everything mentioned here is pure speculation.

Why was Spider-Man: Beyond the Spider-Verse delayed?

Several factors have caused the delay of “Spider-Man: Beyond the Spider-Verse.” The executive producers of the Spider-Verse franchise, Phil Lord and Chris Miller, have issued the update about the delay directly. In their statement, Phil Lord affirmed that the production team is actively ensuring the film meets high standards.

Chris Miller stressed the importance of delivering a “satisfying conclusion” to the trilogy and elaborated on other factors. He pledged to explore new narrative territories and evoke a wide range of emotions in the audience. The movie’s production process encounters difficulties due to ongoing strikes in the entertainment industry. Particularly the Writers Guild of America (WGA) and the Screen Actors Guild-American Federation of Television and Radio Artists (SAG-AFTRA) strikes.

The strikes are impacting the ability to execute voice acting duties, as the movie is utilizing A-list talent for voice acting. Currently, none of the movie’s cast members have commenced recording their lines, signifying that the movie is in an early stage of production. Even without the strikes, it appears that Sony’s original release date of March 2024 was an overly optimistic projection.
