Yahoo Movies Spider-Man: Beyond the Spider-Verse gets a promising update
Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse spoilers follow further down.
Spider-Man: Beyond the Spider-Verse has received a promising update, with producer Christopher Miller confirming production is underway.
The anticipation for the final instalment in the trilogy has been building ever since the cliffhanger ending for Across the Spider-Verse, with the strikes by SAG-AFTRA and the WGA causing numerous productions to be delayed.

Whilst no release date has currently been set, Miller, who was attending a Q+A following a screening of Across the Spider-Verse, confirmed that work on the upcoming film would now resume.
“We’re in production,” he said (via Jonathan Sim on X). “We’re really excited about where the story is going. I think it’s a very satisfying conclusion to the trilogy and it’s as emotional as the other ones. We’re knee-deep in it.”
The previous entry in the franchise ended on the bombshell that Miles Morales was actually The Prowler on Earth-42, but co-director Kemp Powers recently revealed that the twist was a very late addition to the script.
“[Uncle] Aaron was still The Prowler, and this is rather far along into development too,” he revealed. “I remember we had a meeting over Zoom and something just came to me – that Miles should be The Prowler.

“I felt bad as someone was presenting, but I texted the guys and we were all so excited. There was already a design for that [version of] Miles, but we sent our wonderful designer back to the drawing board, asking him to redesign the character as The Prowler.
“It was always thematically the same – if Miles never got powers, what would become of him – but the original wasn't as impactful. We had Miles as Aaron's sidekick, his Robin, but him becoming The Prowler evoked a whole different emotion.”
Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse is out now on DVD and Blu-ray.
