Beyond the Spider-Verse’ Confirms Release Date With First Footage at CinemaCon

They say that good things come to those who wait and tonight, during Sony’s presentation at CinemaCon’s opening evening, those lucky folks in attendance got a first look at the long-awaited animated project Spider-Man: Beyond the Spider-Verse. By the time the feature finally bows into cinemas next June, it will have been a long and unforgiving four-year wait since the second installment in the ongoing franchise, Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse, first wowed and dazzled audiences in 2023. Tonight, the studio was kind enough to show off a bit of what they’ve got cooking in the Shameik Moore and Hailee Steinfeld-led movie that will finally sort out the cliffhanger we’ve been waiting years to unfold.

Beyond the Spider-Verse scribes and longtime creative partners Chris Miller and Phil Lord stepped onto the center stage tonight with helmers Bob Persichetti and Justin K Thompson to share a sneak peek of the very beginning of the new movie. Welcoming audiences to the “final chapter of Miles’ story,” the clip kicked off, picking up exactly where we last saw Miles — alone and confused. Still reeling from the fact that there’s no Spider-Man in existence in this parallel universe, he comes face-to-face with Uncle Aaron, who simply doesn’t have the time. Things go from bad to worse when Miles is approached by his own alternate version — the super villain known as The Prowler. After some friendly banter, our hero Miles Morales pleads for the evil duo’s help to stop his father’s death from happening. After the chat doesn’t work, Miles uses his powers to break out of his confines, and we’re thrown into the dazzling animated world that we’ve come to know and love — filled with familiar faces, including Spider-Gwen (Steinfeld), Spider Ham (John Mulaney) and even Peter B. Parker (Jake Johnson).

04

How do you deal with authority you don’t trust?

Your Fate Has Been Calculated
You’d Survive In…

Your answers point to the world your instincts were built for. This is the universe your temperament, your survival instincts, and your particular brand of stubbornness were made for.

The Resistance, Zion

The Matrix

You took the red pill a long time ago — probably before anyone offered it to you. You’re a systems thinker who can’t help but notice the seams in things.

  • You’re drawn to understanding how the system works before figuring out how to break it.
  • You’d find the Resistance, or it would find you — your instinct for spotting constructed realities is the machines’ worst nightmare.
  • You function best when you have access to information and the freedom to act on it.
  • The Matrix built an airtight prison. You’d be the one probing the walls for the door.

The Wasteland

Mad Max

The wasteland doesn’t reward the clever or the well-connected — it rewards those who are hard to kill and harder to break. That’s you.

  • You don’t need comfort, community, or a cause larger than the next horizon.
  • You need a vehicle, a clear threat, and enough fuel to outrun it — and you’re good at all three.
  • You are unsentimental enough to survive that world, and decent enough — just barely — to be something more than another raider.
  • In the wasteland, that distinction is everything.

Los Angeles, 2049

Blade Runner

You’d survive here because you know how to exist in moral grey areas without losing yourself completely.

  • You read people accurately, keep your circle small, and ask the questions others prefer not to answer.
  • In a city where humanity is a legal designation rather than a feeling, you hold onto something that keeps you functional.
  • You’re not a hero. But you’re not lost, either.
  • In Blade Runner’s world, that distinction is everything.

Arrakis

Dune

Arrakis is the most hostile environment in the known universe — and you are precisely the kind of person it rewards.

  • Patience, discipline, and political awareness are your core strengths — and on Arrakis, they’re survival tools.
  • You understand that the long game matters more than any single victory.
  • Others come to Dune and are consumed by it. You’d learn its logic and earn its respect.
  • In time, you wouldn’t just survive Arrakis — you’d begin to reshape it.

A Galaxy Far, Far Away

Star Wars

The galaxy far, far away is vast, loud, and in a constant state of violent political upheaval — and you wouldn’t have it any other way.

  • You find meaning in being part of something larger than yourself — a cause, a crew, a rebellion.
  • You’d gravitate toward the Rebellion, or the fringes, or whatever pocket of the galaxy still believes the Empire’s grip can be broken.
  • You fight — not because you have to, but because standing aside isn’t something you’re capable of.
  • In Star Wars, that willingness is what makes all the difference.
