Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse star Bryan Tyree Henry recently walked the red carpet for the premiere of Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire where he was asked to comment about the status of recording on the highly-anticipated sequel, Beyond the Spider-Verse.
It sounds as if recording hasn't started just yet but it seems Henry has read the script, as he provided a very intriguing tease.
The Atlanta and Bullet Train star remarked, "It's in the works, it's coming. That one...it's even more epic than the last...Get your hankies ready, it's going to go there."
Tyree Henry voices Miles' father, Jeff Morales in the award-winning animated film series. If you recall, the film centered on Miles learning that his Spider-Man 'canon' event was the death of his father, something he became determined to avert, even if it meant taking on a whole multiverse of Spider-Men.
With Henry teasing that the film is going to induce tears, is that a strong suggestion that Miles' father won't make it out of the finale, alive?
With a $100 million budget, Across the Spider-Verse generated $690.5 million worldwide, outperforming its predecessor. It was the sixth-highest earning movie of 2023 and the highest-grossing picture for Sony Pictures Animation.
At the 96th Academy Awards, Across the Spider-Verse was nominated for Best Animated Feature but the film lost to Hayao Miyazaki's The Boy and the Heron.
The trilogy's finale was initially scheduled to open in theaters on March 29th, but Sony withdrew it from its release schedule after word spread that animators were nowhere close to finishing work on the third installment.
An animated spin-off series centered on Hailee Steinfeld's Spider-Gwen and Issa Rae's Jessica Drew has already been confirmed to be in development at Sony, and there's already talk of a live-action version of the Spider-Verse movie.
Unfortunately, there is still no confirmed release date for Beyond the Spider-Verse. Current estimates suggest it might not arrive until late-2025, though this remains speculative.
Are you looking forward to the Beyond the Spider-Verse finale and do you think Miles will manage to return in time to save his father? Let us know in the comment section below.
