Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse had a successful run in theaters which saw it gross $690 million worldwide by the time all was said and done. That makes it Sony Pictures Animation's highest-grossing title and, with it already available on Digital, DVD, Blu-ray, and 4K, we now have news on its streaming debut.
Deadline has confirmed the Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse sequel will premiere on the U.S. version of Netflix on October 31.
While Disney+ has some Spider-Man movies (and will eventually be their go-to streaming home), a pre-existing deal between Sony Pictures and Netflix somewhat complicates things, hence why this blockbuster is heading there first. We also don't currently have any news on when the sequel will hit the streaming platform overseas.
The current plan is for Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse to be followed by the final chapter in a planned trilogy titled Spider-Man: Beyond the Spider-Verse. However, even before the WGA and SAG-AFTRA strikes, it meeting its March 2024 release date seemed doubtful.
As a result, it wasn't remotely surprising when the news broke that it had been delayed indefinitely (we'd bet on it finally swinging into theaters in late 2025/early 2026).
"A contender for the best Spider-Man film yet and easily the greatest animated movie ever made," we said in our review earlier this year, "Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse is a jaw-dropping spectacle, a feast for the senses, and an instant Marvel classic."
In Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse, Miles Morales returns for the next chapter of the Oscar-winning Spider-Verse saga. After reuniting with Gwen Stacy, Brooklyn's full-time, friendly neighbourhood Spider-Man is catapulted across the Multiverse, where he encounters a team of Spider-People charged with protecting its very existence.
But when the heroes clash on how to handle a new threat, Miles finds himself pitted against the other Spiders and must redefine what it means to be a hero so he can save the people he loves most.
The movie stars Shameik Moore, Hailee Steinfeld, Jake Johnson, Issa Rae, Daniel Kaluuya, Karan Soni, Jason Schwartzman, Brian Tyree Henry, Luna Lauren Velez, Greta Lee, Rachel Dratch, Jorma Taccone, Shea Whigham, and Oscar Isaac.
Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse is now available on Digital and Blu-ray.
