‘Spider-Verse’ Producer Chris Miller Denies Report That Sony ‘Scrapped Most’ of Third Film: ‘The Reels Are Coming Along Nicely’


'Spider-Verse' producer Chris Miller is hitting back at a report that most of the third film, 'Beyond the Spider-Verse,' had been 'scrapped' by Sony.

Miller took to X on Tuesday to deny a claim from The InSneider about problems with the third film in the Oscar-winning franchise, “ Spider-Man: Beyond the Spider-Verse.” The newsletter reported on Monday evening that Sony had “scrapped most” of the movie for creative reasons, and that it “would be unlikely to debut before 2027.” The InSneider story continued, “While the ‘Beyond the Spider-Verse’ team was taken aback by the change in direction, I’m told they’re relieved to have more time to work on the sequel, as it’s important to all involved that they stick the landing on this Oscar-winning franchise.” Last June, Vulture published a report alleging unsustainable work conditions on the second film in the franchise, “Across the Spider-Verse,” claiming that approximately 100 artists left the project, citing 11-hour workdays, seven days a week.
