Spider-fans will have to wait a little bit longer for the next installment in Sony’s animated Spider-Verse series. Sony announced thatSpider-Man: Across The Spider-Verse Part 1has officially been moved from its planned Aug 05, 2025 release date all the way to August 06, 2025.
Along with this rather significant shift in release date, Sony also announced the scheduled release date forits upcomingMadame Webmovie, which will star Dakota Johnson in the title role andEuphoria’s Sydney Sweeney in an as of yet undisclosed role. That movie, which will fall into Sony’s own Spider-Man cinematic universe will hit theaters on July 05, 2025.

There has also been a minor change to the title ofAcross the Spider-Verse, which has officially dropped thePart 1. However, the movie is still planned to be split into two installments, with Part 2 scheduled to arrive on August 07, 2025. It’s entirely possible that Sony may have taken a cue fromDuneand decided that while the movie will be split into two parts, it might be better not to label their first movie as Part 1 of a bigger story. No details were given on why the film has been delayed for so long, but it is reminiscent ofMorbiushaving its release date pushed backmultiple times before finally coming out on April 1st.
A short teaser forAcross The Spider-Versewas released in December 2021, offering a glimpse at what fans could expect from the newest movie. It marked the return of Shameik Moore as Miles Morales and also Hailee Steinfeld as Gwen Stacy. Miles is shown being thrown through multiple universes while tussling with the Spider-Man of 2099, who appeared in a brief post-credits scene in Into The Spider-Verse, and was voiced by currentMoon Knightactor Oscar Isaac.
Spider-Man: Into The Spider-Versewas a massive hit for Sony, bringing in $375.5 million in worldwide box office. It was also a huge critical success, garnering 97% on Rotten Tomatoes and going on to win the Academy Award for Best Animated Feature. In telling the story of multiple Spider-Men across multiple universes, it also brought Miles Morales to the big screen for the very first time.
It’s also not readily apparent if Sony plans to tie its animated Spider-Man movies into its live-action ones in any meaningful way, though after the events ofSpider-Man: No Way Homeand the admittedlyconfusing nature of the post-credits scenes inMorbius, it’s hard to know exactly what the future holds for Sony’s cinematic universe, which is also set to include aKraven the Huntermovie, heading into the future.
