Wait, are we getting two more Spider-verse movies?!?
No, we’re not, sorry.
All the confusion started last night when Sony studio boss Amy Pascal was asked how her plans for a live-action Miles Morales movie were coming along and when we can expect to see it, to which she said: “Someday [but] not until we make two more movies… we’re very happy doing [the animated Spider-Verse movies].”
This caused some confusion as we all believed that the Spider-verse series was a trilogy, with the third movie, Beyond the Spider-verse due (hopefully) this year. However, the co-writer of the movie, Christopher Miller has come forward and confirmed that Pascal was talking about the fourth Tom Holland Spider-man movie for the MCU and not a – booooooooo! – fourth Spider-verse movie.

However, we do know a Miles movie will happen (although after Madame Web, I hope it falls into Marvel’s lap) and Donal Glover even suspects he’ll be the villainous Prowler in it, having already played the character in the MCU as well as in animated and live-action form in the Spider-verse movies.
Meanwhile, Shameik Moore, who plays Miles in the animated movies, says the third movie is the best yet: “What I can tell you about Beyond the Spider-Verse is that it’s gonna be better than Into and Across the Spider-Verse, and that I will be in it. That’s all I can tell you… “
When the third movie comes out, the Spider-verse will live on on the small screen with a Spider-man Noir series over at Amazon (and likely lore spin-offs coming down the line) – Noir was voiced by Nicholas Cage in Into the Spider-verse – and will be showrun by Punisher’s Steve Lightfoot with Cloverfield Paradox writer Oren Uziel penning it.
So, there may only be one more movie planned but the Spider-verse will likely live on for some time to come.

Marc is a self-confessed nerd. Ever since seeing Star Wars for the first time around 1979 he’s been an unapologetic fan of the Wars and still believes, with Clone Wars and now Underworld, we are yet to see the best Star Wars. He’s a dad of two who now doesn’t have the time (or money) to collect the amount of toys, comics, movies and books he once did, much to the relief of his long-suffering wife. In the real world he’s a graphic designer. He started Following the Nerd because he was tired of searching a million sites every day for all the best news that he loves and decided to create one place where you can go to get the whole lot. Secretly he longs to be sitting in the cockpit of his YT-1300 Corellian Transport ship with his co-pilot Chewie, roaming the universe, waiting for his next big adventure, but feels just at home watching cartoons with his kids….
