Sony scrapped what they completed for Beyond the Spider-Verse shortly after the release of Across the Spider-Verse.

That's a pretty easy theory to put out when it was originally supposed to come out 7 months ago. I think they just vastly underestimated how long it'd take to finish. Scrapping the whole script so far would be an absurd overstep.

I bet they're trying to scrub off Lord and Miller from the credits. And the best way to ensure it is to make sure that no-one is their work makes it into the final cut

They left, or were told to leave

Oof. This is very concerning. Mostly because these rumors suggest that 2027 will be the release date and even then it won't have a full resolution?? Hope that's not true...

I hate that I didn't know the second ended on a cliff hanger when I watched it. Wish I had known, since I would have avoided it and waited for the third movie to watch it all. Cliff hanger still passes me off.

When the first Lord of the Rings movie came out, it ended, and a guy stood up behind me and yelled "DAMN! THAT'S IT???!?!?"

I got to explain "No, no, there's TWO MORE..."

It doesn't even foreshadow a cliff hanger is coming. It just ends mid conversation. No buildup or anything. Not a fun movie.

It ended on a cliff hanger?

Honestly can’t remember much of the film compared to the first.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 5 months ago (1 children)

i just watched it last week and can barely remember it

[–] [email protected] 5 points 5 months ago (1 children)

It was so all over the place

[–] [email protected] 8 points 5 months ago

It's across the spiderverse

[–] [email protected] 13 points 5 months ago

Right at the end of a big action scene that should have serious repurcussions, if I remember right.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 5 months ago (1 children)

This doesn’t seem very substantial to me? If it’s been scrapped last minute, why are the cast just now recording lines? Voice work happens months, sometimes years before scenes make it past thumbnails.

This reads like execs made a stupid promise without consulting anyone on production, and now they’re making excuses for production on a cartoon taking a long time.

All cartoons take a long time! It takes years to make a movie of this sort. Expecting it immediately is, I’m just going to be blunt, a real dumbass move.

Probably because, ideally, the two halves of the one super-long movie should've been produced sequentially. Miles-Spiderman-3 isn't a fresh movie, #2 was ended mid plot as a part 1. If a part 1 was done correctly, part 2's story would be relatively set in stone. This news means it isn't, whoch is a bad sign for hopes of continuity

[–] [email protected] 1 points 5 months ago

Not to mention they delayed releasing part 1 for years (or at least a year cause of covid). You'd have assumed they'd have taken advantage of that, but it could be a casualty of the writers strike.

[–] [email protected] 17 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Wouldn't be surprised if the 3rd movie was bad. 2nd one was very unsatisfying. It didn't feel like it stood very well on its own, and it felt like the majority of the movie was spent explaining the whole "cannon" concept.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 5 months ago

Every scene dragged on forever past it's point. It was aggravating to watch compared to the first movie. And then bam, it just ends out of nowhere. They could have cut a ton of time out of it with better editing.

[–] [email protected] 38 points 5 months ago (1 children)

I'm sure they definitely won't underpay and overwork the people working on it to get it out by an arbitrary deadline...

[–] [email protected] 18 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Haven't they already delayed it a bunch of times?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 5 months ago

Amazing how similar movie production is to game development these days.

Delays, whole projects being scrapped and rebuilt multiple times, and fixes being applied over a series of months after release.
