‘Spider-Man: Beyond the Spider-Verse’ Delayed Indefinitely

One of the biggest hits of 2023 so far has been Sony’s Spider-Man: Across The Spider-Verse. The film is currently the second-highest-grossing film of the year domestically and stands as one of the highest-rated films of all time on the social app Letterboxd. However, given the ongoing strikes in Hollywood due to several studios’ refusal to pay fair wages to the creatives behind and in front of the camera, the highly anticipated sequel Spider-Man: Beyond the Spider-Verse is the first major film to take a hit with Sony Pictures removing the film from their schedule altogether, per The Hollywood Reporter.

The studio has also pushed Gran Turismo from August 11th to August 25th. Aaron Taylor-Johnson’s Kraven the Hunter is moving from October to mid-2024 as well. However, the updates also date Bad Boys 4 for June 14, 2024, and Venom 3 for July 12, 2024. Moreover, The Ghostbusters Afterlife sequel has been delayed to March 29, 2024.
