Spider-Man: Across The Spider-Verse has seen multiple delays in release, and rumours are circulating that the reason is due to a possible appearance by Tom Holland's Peter Parker.
Spider-Man: Across The Spider-Verse is being produced by Sony Pictures Animation and is set to be released in June 2023. While the sequel was initially scheduled to release on April 8, 2022, the studio pushed that date back to October 7, 2022, because of COVID-19. It was then changed again, and apparently, it might have had something to do with MCU Spider-Man star Holland.
According to recent reports, Holland, who currently portrays Spider-Man in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, may lend his talent to the highly anticipated sequel. While nothing has been officially confirmed, the possibility of Holland's involvement has stirred up speculation and excitement among the franchise's fans. On a recent episode of the YouTube show, The Hot Mic, featuring Jeff Sneider and John Rocha, two movie critics and writers, Sneider talks about Holland's possible cameo in the new film, detailing, “I'd heard that part of the delay of was about getting Tom Holland in that movie, and that one of the dimensions that Miles could end up going to is a live-action dimension with Tom Holland.”
Spider-Man: Across The Spider-Verse is directed by Joaquim Dos Santos, Kemp Powers, and Justin K. Thompson. It was written by Phil Lord and Christopher Miller, the duo behind Spider-Man: Into The Spider-Verse. The original movie was a huge success, grossing over $375 million worldwide and winning the Academy Award for Best Animated Feature in 2019. The movie explored the multiverse concept, where multiple versions of Spider-Man from different dimensions and timelines came together to save the world. The sequel, Spider-Man: Across The Spider-Verse, promises to continue this thrilling adventure.
Holland's portrayal of Spider-Man has been widely praised by fans and critics alike. His inclusion in the sequel could add a new layer of excitement to the already highly anticipated movie. If Holland were to appear in the sequel, it would also further solidify the interconnectedness of the various Spider-Man franchises and expand the possibilities of the multiverse concept.
Of course, it is significant to note that nothing has been confirmed regarding Holland's involvement in Spider-Man: Across The Spider-Verse. However, the possibility alone is enough to get fans of the franchise buzzing with excitement and anticipation for the upcoming movie. Either way, the movie promises to be a thrilling and visually stunning addition to the Spider-Man franchise, and fans can hardly wait to see what surprises the filmmakers have in store.
Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse is scheduled to be released in theaters on June 2, 2023.
