We’ve finally received some good news from Sony Animation about Spider-Man: Beyond the Spider-Verse.
Per Deadline, Bob Persichetti and Justin K. Thompson will direct Beyond the Spider-Verse, the third and final installment in the animated film trilogy centered around Miles Morales / Spider-Man.
“We have had the immense privilege of being part of Miles’ journey from the very beginning, and directing the conclusion to his story is beyond exciting,” said Persichetti and Thompson in a statement. “The creativity and care poured into every minute of this project has been truly inspiring. We have crafted what we feel is a very satisfying ending, and we can’t wait for fans to experience it – we’re bringing everything we’ve got!”
Persichetti and Thompson have been part of the franchise since the beginning. Persichetti was one of the co-directors on 2018’s Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse, while Thompson co-directed 2023’s Across the Spider-Verse after being a production designer on Into.
“Bob and Justin’s fingerprints are woven into the DNA of these films, and their passion for Miles’ journey shines through in every frame of his last adventure,” said Phil Lord and Chris Miller, who return as producers and co-writers on Beyond the Spider-Verse. “There is nothing more rewarding than collaborating with creative partners with bold vision and brilliant execution like Bob and Justin. We are thrilled to work with them once again to create a beautiful and satisfying conclusion to this story.”
Spider-Man: Beyond the Spider-Verse is without a release date at this time.
