They say that good things come to those who wait and tonight, during Sony’s presentation at CinemaCon’s opening evening, those lucky folks in attendance got a first look at the long-awaited animated project Spider-Man: Beyond the Spider-Verse. By the time the feature finally bows into cinemas next June, it will have been a long and unforgiving four-year wait since the second installment in the ongoing franchise, Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse, first wowed and dazzled audiences in 2023. Tonight, the studio was kind enough to show off a bit of what they’ve got cooking in the Shameik Moore and Hailee Steinfeld-led movie that will finally sort out the cliffhanger we’ve been waiting years to unfold.

Beyond the Spider-Verse scribes and longtime creative partners Chris Miller and Phil Lord stepped onto the center stage tonight with helmers Bob Persichetti and Justin K Thompson to share a sneak peek of the very beginning of the new movie. Welcoming audiences to the “final chapter of Miles’ story,” the clip kicked off, picking up exactly where we last saw Miles — alone and confused. Still reeling from the fact that there’s no Spider-Man in existence in this parallel universe, he comes face-to-face with Uncle Aaron, who simply doesn’t have the time. Things go from bad to worse when Miles is approached by his own alternate version — the super villain known as The Prowler. After some friendly banter, our hero Miles Morales pleads for the evil duo’s help to stop his father’s death from happening. After the chat doesn’t work, Miles uses his powers to break out of his confines, and we’re thrown into the dazzling animated world that we’ve come to know and love — filled with familiar faces, including Spider-Gwen (Steinfeld), Spider Ham (John Mulaney) and even Peter B. Parker (Jake Johnson).

The film finally arrives in theaters on June 18, 2027.
