'Spider-Punk' Movie: What We Know So Far About The Possible 'Spider-Verse' Spin-Off
The 'Spider-Verse' franchise has proven to be a global success, with fans eagerly anticipating the final instalment, 'Beyond the Spider-Verse', which is set for release in 2027. While some expressed disappointment over the delay, many were understanding, preferring the studio not to rush the project if it meant delivering a well-crafted story. Still, this means fans will be without new content for a while. However, the wait might be worth it, as news is circulating that a spin-off from the franchise is currently in development, suggesting that fans may not have to wait too long to enjoy both upcoming films. Here's what we know so far about the 'Spider-Punk' film: 1. Daniel Kaluuya is involved in the project According to Deadline, Sony Pictures Animation is currently developing a spin-off to the 'Spider-Verse' films, with Spider-Punk (Hobie Brown) as the central character. British actor Daniel Kaluuya is expected to reprise his role as the Spider-Man variant from Earth-138, and he is reportedly co-writing the feature alongside Primetime writer Ajon Singh. 2. Plot still under development Plot details are currently under wraps, but the possibility of an origin story, or a prequel set before the events of 'Across the Spider-Verse', cannot be ruled out. The spin-off could also be a standalone film taken from the comics with no connections to the main 'Spider-Verse' story. 3. Release date The release date for the film has yet to be confirmed, but fans are hopeful that the gap between 'Beyond the Spider-Verse' and the spin-off won't be too long. However, it's worth noting that the film may take longer than expected to complete, as it was previously revealed that Spider-Punk's 6 minutes of screen time in 'Across the Spider-Verse' took 3 years to animate. Still, with the rapid advancement of technology, it's possible that animators may find ways to streamline the process or even adopt a different animation approach while still staying true to the character's unique art style.

'Spider-Verse' spin-off 'Spider-Punk' in development at Sony with Daniel Kaluuya: Report
Sony Pictures Animation is diving deeper into the Spider-Verse with an all-new spinoff: 'Spider-Punk'. The animated feature, currently in early development, will centre on Hobie Brown — the punk-rock version of Spider-Man first introduced in 2023's 'Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse'. Oscar-winner Daniel Kaluuya, who voiced the rebellious British superhero in the 'Across the Spider-Verse', is developing and co-writing the new project alongside Ajon Singh. Though plot specifics are still under wraps, the film is expected to showcase Hobie Brown's anarchic brand of heroism, powered not just by spider-strength but by a guitar that doubles as a weapon. Kaluuya's character made a memorable debut in Across the Spider-Verse, which introduced audiences to a multitude of alternate Spider-Men from across the multiverse. Hobie quickly became a fan favourite, and he's expected to return in 'Spider-Man: Beyond the Spider-Verse', currently slated for release on June 25, 2027. While there's no set release date for Spider-Punk, its announcement has already stirred excitement among fans of the franchise. The new film expands the critically acclaimed and commercially successful Spider-Verse saga. The original 2018 film, 'Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse', earned over $384 million worldwide and won the Oscar for Best Animated Feature. Its sequel, 'Across the Spider-Verse', far exceeded expectations with a global box office haul of $690 million. The story of Miles Morales will now continue in the upcoming 'Beyond the Spider-Verse' — where he finds himself a fugitive trying to save his family.
