Spider-Man: Beyond the Spider-Verse has become the latest major Hollywood film to reportedly suffer an unauthorised trailer leak, months before the animated sequel is scheduled to reach cinemas.<\/p>\n
The trailer for the third instalment in Sony\u2019s acclaimed Spider-Verse franchise reportedly appeared on Twitter\/X this week. The film is currently scheduled for a theatrical release on June 18, 2027.<\/p>\n
Co-writer and producer Chris Miller addressed the leaked material on Friday, distancing himself from the footage and making clear that what appeared online was not the finished version of the film.<\/p>\n
\u201cNot a fan of unfinished, not fully rendered footage (sic).\u201d<\/p>\n
The reported leak has nevertheless generated considerable discussion among fans of the franchise, with reactions ranging from excitement over the next chapter of Miles Morales\u2019 story to speculation about what the footage could reveal.<\/p>\n
One fan wrote, \u201cSpider man genuinely top 10 fiction of all time, everytime they drop whether it\u2019s a show, movie, comic, game or collab it\u2019s always. HIT (sic)\u201d<\/p>\n
Another reacted, \u201cI thought it was gonna be bait (sic)\u201d<\/p>\n
A third wrote, \u201cThe greatest Animated Trilogy is upon us. \ud83d\ude4f\ud83c\udffe (sic)\u201d<\/p>\n
Other reactions included, \u201cWe rlly boutta witness a generational Spider-Man film \ud83d\ude2d\u201d and \u201cThis is the best thing ive ever seen ever! \ud83d\ude32\ud83d\ude32\ud83d\ude32\ud83d\ude32\ud83d\ude32\ud83d\ude32\ud83d\ude32 (sic)\u201d<\/p>\n
One fan also joked about the apparent interaction between versions of the same character, \u201cDeada*s the funniest interaction I\u2019ve seen between two of the same people\ud83d\ude02 (sic)\u201d<\/p>\n
Another reaction focused on the wider multiverse mythology, \u201cI like how this implies that Sony is a Universial constant across all dimentions (sic).\u201d<\/p>\n
One fan went as far as comparing the upcoming film with Marvel\u2019s next live-action Spider-Man outing, writing, \u201cThis might be the film that can potentially beat brand new day (sic)\u201d<\/p>\n
The response reflects the anticipation surrounding the film, which follows the success of Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse and Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse.<\/p>\n
Released in 2018, Into the Spider-Verse introduced audiences to Miles Morales, a teenager who becomes Spider-Man and is drawn into a multiverse involving several different versions of the superhero. The film was widely praised for its distinctive animation, storytelling and approach to the Spider-Man mythology, and won the Academy Award for Best Animated Feature.<\/p>\n
Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse, released in 2023, expanded the story considerably, bringing Miles into conflict with a wider network of Spider-People and ending on a major cliffhanger. The film follows Miles as he travels across alternate dimensions and encounters different versions of Spider-Man, while his relationship with Gwen Stacy becomes increasingly important to the story.<\/p>\n
