Miles Morales swings back into theaters in two years.
During their CinemaCon presentation, Sony announced that Spider-Man: Beyond the Spider-Verse will be released in theaters on June 4, 2027.
Beyond the Spider-Verse was supposed to arrive on March 29, 2024. However, Sony removed the third Spider-Verse movie from the calendar because of the 2023 writers’ and actors’ strikes.
Sony released new images from Spider-Man: Beyond the Spider-Verse.
New footage was shown during the CinemaCon presentation. “Everyone keeps telling me how my story is supposed to go,” Miles Morales says in the footage via THR. “I’m gonna do my own thing.”
Bob Persichetti and Justin K. Thompson will direct Spider-Man: Beyond the Spider-Verse. Persichetti co-directed the trilogy’s first movie, Into the Spider-Verse, while Thompson co-directed the sequel, Across the Spider-Verse.
David Callam, Phil Lord, and Christopher Miller will pen the screenplay for Beyond the Spider-Verse. Producers include Lord, Miller, Amy Pascal, Avi Arad, and Jinko Gotoh.
Beyond the Spider-Verse is the third and final film in the groundbreaking animated trilogy. The first movie, 2018’s Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse, was a groundbreaking moment for animation. The critically acclaimed film won the Oscar for Best Animated Feature and grossed over $394 million worldwide.
Five years later, the sequel, Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse, became a critical and commercial success, with a worldwide gross of $690 million. Across the Spider-Verse received an Oscar nomination for Best Animated Feature.
Shameik Moore voices Miles Morales/Spider-Man, while Hailee Steinfeld plays Gwen Stacy/Spider-Woman. At the end of Across the Spider-Verse, Miles ends up on an alternate version of Earth and meets his counterpart, the villainous Prowler.
Some of the best shots in Grok Imagine’s AI-made Odyssey don’t contain actors. Ancient landscapes stretch into the distance. Close-ups of grimy hands suggest people who have touched something rougher than a keyboard. For a few seconds, the illusion holds.

YouTube videos could soon look better without eating quite so much data, right? Thankfully, the platform plans to introduce a new video format called AV2 on its web player in early 2027, promising more efficient streaming and potentially fewer playback hiccups on slower internet connections. The big headline is a roughly 30% improvement in compression efficiency over AV1, YouTube's existing video format. That doesn't guarantee every video will use 30% less data, but it could make streaming a little easier on both internet connections and data allowances.
What is AV2, and why should viewers care?
YouTube is changing how its Home page works, giving viewers more control over what shows up there and making some of the app’s most-used sections easier to reach. Custom Feeds are now replacing the existing topic chips for eligible users, while YouTube is also testing a redesigned top bar on mobile that moves Subscriptions closer to the Home feed.
YouTube first started experimenting with Custom Feeds earlier this year, letting you type out what you wanted to watch and turning that request into its own stream of recommendations. Now, the feature is starting to look less like a side experiment and more like something YouTube actually wants people to use as part of their everyday Home page.
