Spider-Man: Beyond the Spider-Verse Star Hasn't Recorded His Lines Yet

Jharrel Jerome, star of Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse, has confirmed that production on the highly anticipated third installment, Beyond the Spider-Verse, hasn't even begun. He revealed in an interview with Decider that he hasn't yet recorded any lines, indicating a significant delay before the film's release.

Jerome stated that numerous aspects of the production are still "being figured out," suggesting a complex pre-production phase. This delay isn't entirely unexpected, considering the five-year gap between the first and second films.

"No, I wish," Jerome responded when asked about the commencement of production. "We haven’t started up yet. A lot of things being figured out, but good things."

53 ImagesWhile Jerome's role in the second film was relatively minor, his character is poised to become a central antagonist in the third. Spoiler alert for Across the Spider-Verse: He portrays Miles G. Morales from Earth-42, who emerges at the film's climax not as Spider-Man, but as the Prowler.

This alternate Miles's journey diverges significantly from the main protagonist's. The radioactive spider bite intended for him instead bit the main Miles, altering both their destinies. With the death of his universe's Peter Parker, Earth-42's New York fell under the control of supervillains, and Miles G. Morales ultimately joined their ranks.

The unfolding conflict between this villainous Miles and the main Spider-Man will likely form the core narrative of Beyond the Spider-Verse. However, fans should anticipate a considerable wait, with Deadline suggesting a release date no earlier than 2026, or potentially as late as 2028, mirroring the timeframe between the previous installments.
