Sony Sets Final Miles Morales Film, Shifts Spider-Verse Strategy
The move signals a pivot to spinoffs alongside a parallel live-action path with Marvel.
Overview
- Producers Phil Lord and Chris Miller said on the Happy Sad Confused podcast Thursday that Spider-Man: Beyond the Spider-Verse will conclude the Miles Morales animated trilogy in 2027.
- Sony is steering future stories into stand-alone projects, starting with Spider-Noir on Amazon Prime Video on May 27, 2026, with Nicolas Cage set to star as Ben Reilly.
- New entries in development include features centered on Spider-Gwen and Spider-Punk, extending characters that broke out in the first two Spider-Verse films.
- Sony’s live-action track with Marvel Studios continues with Spider-Man: Brand New Day in July 2026, bringing Tom Holland back as Peter Parker.
- Executives are leaning on proven lanes after 2024 spin-offs like Kraven the Hunter and Madame Web struggled, while the Multiverse setup leaves room for Miles to return in future projects depending on story needs.
