Why The Spider-Man Sequel Is Likely To Be Delayed

Spider-Man: Addicted to the Spider-Verse is a hit at the box office
The sequel, called Spider-Man: Beyond the Spider-Verse, could be released late
Production conditions are difficult, according to employee testimonies

It is a real success. Released on June 2 at the cinema in France, Spider-Man: Addicted to the Spider-Verse has already grossed over $560 million at the global box office. On our side, we loved this little jewel of animation. So much so that all eyes are already on what’s next, Spider-Man: Beyond the Spider-Versewhich is due to air on April 3, 2024.

Difficult working conditions

Except that things may not go as planned if we believe the point of view of Stephen, an animator of the studio quoted by vulnerability : “I’ve seen people say, ‘Oh, they probably worked on it at the same time.’ There is no chance that this film will be released on this date. There has been progress on the pre-production side. But as far as production goes, the only progress made on the third is explorations or testing that was done before the film was split into two parts. »

He adds : “Everyone focused on Across the Spider-Verse and barely crossed the finish line. And now we’re like, “Oh yeah, now we have to do the other one.” »

In this fascinating article, our colleagues come back through testimonials from people involved in this project on the difficulties of production. We thus evoke the departure of a hundred animators along the way.

The working conditions are described as very difficult, not to say unbearable, with 11-hour days, 7 days a week for more than a year. Another striking detail: this producer who requires changes on scenes that have already been completed, which does not require a lot of additional work for the employees.

“I know people who were on the project for over a year who left, and now they don’t have much to show because everything has changed. They went through production hell and then saw none of their work come out the other side”says an employee.

Regarding the story of the film, Kemp Powers, the co-director of the saga recently clarified that this third installment will be an emotional journey for Miles Morales who wants to save his father. He will pass through a distorted reality very close to his existence.
