"Oi! Oi!"
A potential Spider-Punk (Hobie Brown) spin-off movie within the Spider-Verse franchise first began circulating in May 2024 following the release and massive success of Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse.
The rumors were then confirmed in August 2025.
Now, Spider-Punk voice actor Daniel Kaluuya has confirmed that he's nearly finished with the script in a new interview with Deadline.
"We’re in our process," said Kaluuya on the work he's currently doing on the script with his co-writer, Ajon Singh (Primetime), adding specifically that they're in the, “finishing stages."
The Get Out and Black Panther star only replied, "TBD" when pressed for specific plot details or whether any other Spider-Verse characters would also appear; however, he did share, "It’s exciting to be writing something in this space...Those Spider-Verse films, they speak to me. I was so inspired by them. I think the filmmakers and the animators are some of the best storytellers in the game. So, I want to put myself in environments where I can grow and learn what they know."
While the Academy Award winner (Best Supporting Actor in 2021) is primarily known for his thespian work, Kaluuya also has notable projects behind the camera and at the keyboard, having written original episodes of Skins and co-written and co-directed Netflix's The Kitchen.
Other Spider-Verse/Sony Spider-Man spin-off projects in existence or in development include a live-action Spider-Noir spinoff series for MGM+ starring Nicolas Cage,an animated Spider-Gwen feature for Hailee Steinfeld, and a long-rumored/long-gestating Cindy Moon/Silk project in development at the studio.
After a series of delays, Spider-Man: Beyond the Spider-Verse is currently slated to hit theaters on June 18, 2027.
