Sony recently announced the release date for the upcoming Marvel movie Madame Web, which is now set to be released on July 7, 2023. Denzel Washington’s The Equalizer 3 also got a release date, September 1, 2023. Those are the upcoming movies that now received their initial release dates, but some movies were also delayed from their initial release dates, and one of them is Spider-Man: Across The Spider-Verse (Part 1), a sequel to the animated hit Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse.

Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse was released in 2018 and it was a huge hit for Sony. The movie was praised by critics and the audience, it grossed $375.5 million worldwide, and it won the Academy Award for the Best Animated Feature, which broke Disney’s long-term domination in winning this award every year. Of course, Disney continued its domination after that, but Sony’s success with Into the Spider-Verse was more than enough to start working on a sequel — a two-part sequel, that is!

The sequel, officially titled Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse (Part 1), was revealed last December with the first look trailer, which showed Miles Morales and Gwen Stacy’s Spider-Woman meeting again. The movie was set to be released next October, but now it has been moved to June 2, 2023, while its sequel, Part 2, is now set to be released on March 29, 2024.

The movie is starring Shameik Moore as Miles Morales/Spider-Man, Oscar Isaac as Miguel O’Hara/Spider-Man 2099, Hailee Steinfeld as Gwen Stacy/Spider-Woman, Jake Johnson as Peter Parker/Spider-Man, and Issa Rae as Jessica Drew/Spider-Woman. That’s a lot of spiders.

Lukas Abramovich is a freelance writer and photo and video editor based in Croatia. He's also a web designer and holds a Master’s degree in general Computer Science from the Faculty of Informatics based in Pula, Croatia. Since 2018, Lukas has worked on several portals writing about movies, TV shows, and video games. He's currently writing articles for two of them: Fiction Horizon and Comic Basics. He also has a YouTube channel in his native language, and the content there is mostly reviewing popular movies and TV shows. Lukas also has an Instagram page where he once used to post fan-made posters he made, which is something he would like to continue working on, as photo and video editing are also some of his passions. Lukas is a big movie lover who is okay with watching any kind of movie. His favorite movie is Michael Curtiz's Casablanca, but he's a loyal follower of Marvel and DC movies, as well as several other blockbuster franchises he's been following for years; Star Wars, Fast & Furious, Mission: Impossible, and James Cameron's Avatar are only some of them. His favorite director is Christopher Nolan, with Quentin Tarantino and Denis Villeneuve as honorable mentions. Lukas is also a big fan of four fantasy multimedia franchises; The Wizarding World, A Song of Ice and Fire, The Witcher, and The Lord of the Rings. He calls them "the four rulers of the fantasy genre." He loves to write about anything spawned from those franchises (books, games, movies...), as well as anything branded with the Marvel or DC logo. Video games and their adaptations are also something he follows faithfully since he's a big fan of story-driven single-player games like Assassin's Creed, The Last of Us, Uncharted, etc. His favorite video game ever is Red Dead Redemption 2.
