Sony just announced the official new release date for “Spider-Man: Beyond the Spider-Verse”—and it’s sooner than fans dared hope after three years of delays. Miles Morales swings back into theaters on September 26, 2026, promising the multiverse’s biggest emotional payoff yet. Get all the details on the long-awaited finale that has comic fans buzzing worldwide.
September 26, 2026: The Confirmed Release
After multiple delays from its original 2024 slot, “Beyond the Spider-Verse” locks in for September 26, 2026. Sony Pictures Animation confirms theaters worldwide, with IMAX and premium formats prioritized for the multiverse-spanning finale. Producers Phil Lord and Chris Miller teased “every second justifies the wait” during Thursday’s announcement.
The date lands perfectly between summer blockbusters and holiday releases, positioning the film for massive box office domination. Expect $1.2+ billion potential given “Across the Spider-Verse’s” $690 million haul despite strikes.
2023 Strikes + Perfectionism = Three-Year Wait
SAG-AFTRA and WGA strikes halted production in 2023, followed by directors Bob Persichetti, Justin K. Thompson, and Kemp Powers declaring full creative reboot. “We tore it apart and rebuilt stronger,” Powers explained, citing experimental animation styles demanding extended render times.
Voice recording resumes December 2025 with Shameik Moore’s Miles, Hailee Steinfeld’s Gwen, and Oscar Isaac’s Miguel O’Hara. Donald Glover confirmed Aaron Davis role expansion, while new multiverse variants teased in first-look footage.
Miles vs. Miguel: The Ultimate Multiverse Showdown
Cliffhanger from “Across the Spider-Verse” explodes: Miles defies Miguel O’Hara’s canon-event doctrine to save his dad, unleashing multiverse chaos. First trailer glimpses include Earth-50101’s live-action live-action Miles, 1930s noir Spider-Man, and anime Gwen variant.
Animation evolves with oil-painting textures, stop-motion sequences, and real-time glitch effects. Score by Metro Boomin and Hans Zimmer promises emotional crescendos rivaling “Into the Spider-Verse’s” Oscar win.

Shameik Moore leads as matured Miles Morales, now balancing Brooklyn heroics with multiversal responsibility. Hailee Steinfeld’s Gwen Stacy arc deepens as reluctant Spider-Gwen leader. Brian Tyree Henry, Luna Lauren Velez, and Jake Johnson reprise family/friends roles.
