The producers of the trilogy have their sights set on the third installment, which will be titled “Beyond the Spider-Verse” in the coming year, as “Spider-Man Across the Spider-Verse” finally arrives in theaters this weekend.
However, they aren’t just thinking about that one web-slinging project.
According to producer Amy Pascal, a live-action Miles Morales movie and a Spider-Woman movie are in the works. “You’ll see all of it,” she told me Tuesday at the “Spider-Man Across the Spider-Verse” premiere in Los Angeles. “It’s all happening.”
A “Spider-Woman” movie will be released to the public “sooner than you expect,” according to producer Avi Arad’s teaser.
“I cannot tell you yet, but it’s coming,” he said.
Pascal also said a fourth “Spider-Man“ movie with Tom Holland and Zendaya is still in the works, but the writers strike has paused development. “Are we going to make another movie? Of course, we are,” she said. “We’re in the process, but the writers strike, nobody is working during the strike. We’re all being supporters and whenever they get themselves together, we’ll get started.”
Concerning the future, Sony boss Tom Rothman was much more secretive. “If I told you, I’d have to kill you.”
Shameik Moore reprises his role as Miles Morales in “Spider-Man Across the Spider-Verse,” and Hailee Steinfeld reprises her role as Gwen Stacy.
It sure sounds like Steinfeld is up for a standalone “Spider-Woman” movie. “This is like my dream job, sign me up over and over again,” she said about doing voice work. “I got to be comfortable! And it’s a dream to be in a space that feels so comfortable but also creative and free and just exciting to be a part of.”
“Spider-Man Across the Spider-Verse,” directed by Joaquim Dos Santos, Justin K. Thompson and Kemp Powers, is in theaters Friday, June. 2. The cast also includes Issa Rae, Daniel Kaluuya, Jason Schwartzman, Brian Tyree Henry, Luna Lauren Velez, Rachel Dratch, Shea Whigham, Leland “Metro Boomin” Wayne, Ziggy Marley, Ayo Edebiri and Danielle Perez.
