What is going on with Spider-Man: Beyond the Spider-Verse? Since Sony removed the animated film from its release calendar, Beyond the Spider-Verse has experienced multiple setbacks.
The latest troublesome report comes from Brandon Davis’ Phase Hero podcast, which claims that an early version of Beyond the Spider-Verse was completely scrapped after the release of 2023’s Across the Spider-Verse. The creative team on Beyond the Spider-Verse had to rewrite the entire script for Beyond, even though several animated reels had already been created.
Davis’ report also states that the studio is undecided on Beyond‘s ending, and the film’s release is “very far off.” The news comes days after Miles Morales’ Spider-Man symbol appeared on a building in New York City.

In September, Jeff Sneider reported about Beyond the Spider-Verse’s delays, saying that 2027, not 2026, was a realistic release window. Sony also has Tom Holland’s Spider-Man 4 coming out in July 2026, making it unlikely that the studio would release two Spider-Man projects in the same year. Sneider wrote: “I heard that Sony scrapped most of Beyond the Spider-Verse for creative reasons, and because of that decision, the movie would be unlikely to debut before 2027 given the detailed animation it requires.”
The next day, Spider-Verse composer Daniel Pemberton denied Sneider’s report. Producer Chris Miller also refuted Sneider’s report on social media, writing, “Nothing has been scrapped. The reels are coming along nicely.”
Don’t really ever want to weigh in on this sort of stuff BUT would you ever believe there could sometimes be stuff on the internet that might not always be particularly accurate? Hmmmm…

Andrew Garfield settles the debate: His favorite Spider-Man is …
Who is Andrew Garfield's favorite actor to portray Spider-Man? Garfield gives the edge to the man who played Peter Parker before him.
“Tobey [Maguire] was my guy," Garfield said on the Vanity Fair Game Show. "I was in drama school, and I was watching his films when I was a young, impressionable actor, and I was practicing being him."

This is when you can see Paramount’s Running Man remake with Glen Powell
Glen Powell will be sprinting into theaters next Thanksgiving. Paramount announced a slew of release dates for its upcoming film slate, led by Edgar Wright's reboot of The Running Man starring Powell.
The Running Man will be released theatrically on November 21, 2025. The film faces tough competition at the box office as it opens against Wicked: Part Two and a Warner Bros. event movie.
The Running Man is based on Stephen King's 1982 dystopian novel of the same name. Set in 2025, The Running Man follows Ben Richards, a man who, in need of money, signs up to appear on The Running Man, a deadly game show that promotes violence and murder. Powell will star as Richards in the remake.
The Running Man was previously adapted into a 1987 film starring Arnold Schwarzenegger. The film received mixed reviews but has since developed a cult-like status. Wright's adaptation is reportedly more faithful to King's novel than the Schwarzenegger-led movie.

Andrew Garfield sets the record straight on a Spider-Man return: ‘I would 100% come back’
Andrew Garfield's Spidey sense is tingling.
In an interview with Esquire, Garfield shared his love and admiration for Peter Parker, leaving no doubt about whether he would reprise Spider-Man again in a future film.
"I would 100% come back if it was the right thing [and] if it’s additive to the culture, if there’s a great concept or something that hasn’t been done before that’s unique and odd and exciting, and that you can sink your teeth into,” Garfield said. “I love that character, and it brings joy. If part of what I bring is joy, then I’m joyful in return.”
Garfield first appeared as Peter in 2012 in Sony's The Amazing Spider-Man. Garfield received a positive reception for his portrayal of the superhero, and the success of the first film spawned a sequel, 2014's The Amazing Spider-Man 2.
After a low box office return and negative critical reception for the sequel, Sony scrapped plans for The Amazing Spider-Man 3. In 2015, Marvel Studios and Sony agreed to allow Spider-Man in the MCU. Though good for Spider-Man fans, this decision eliminated The Amazing Spider-Man franchise. Tom Holland then took over as Marvel Studios' Spider-Man.

In 2021, Garfield received a shot at redemption by playing his version of Peter in Spider-Man: No Way Home. Garfield famously played one of three versions of Spider-Men, with Holland and Tobey Maguire playing the other two. After a disappointing end to his tenure as Sony's Spider-Man, Garfield described his appearance in No Way Home as "healing."
Where does Spider-Man go from here? There are no plans for Garfield to star in The Amazing Spider-Man 3. However, Spider-Man 4 with Holland is currently in development. Last month, Daniel Destin Cretton (Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings) was in discussions to direct Spider-Man 4.
The film is planned to shoot in early 2025, with Holland and Zendaya in contact with Spider-Man producers to return.
