Spidey Sequel Star Yet to Voice Lines

Jharrel Jerome, star of Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse, has tempered expectations for the upcoming third installment, Beyond the Spider-Verse. He revealed in an interview with Decider that he hasn't even begun recording voice lines, indicating that production hasn't commenced. Jerome stated that several aspects of the film are still "being figured out." This delay isn't entirely unexpected, considering the five-year gap between the first and second films.

"No, I wish," Jerome responded when asked about the film's production status. "We haven’t started up yet. A lot of things being figured out, but good things."

While Jerome's role in the second film was relatively minor, his character is poised to become a central antagonist in Beyond the Spider-Verse. Spoiler alert for Across the Spider-Verse's ending: He portrays Miles G. Morales from Earth-42, revealed at the film's conclusion as the Prowler, not Spider-Man.

In this alternate reality, the radioactive spider bite intended for Miles instead bit Peter Parker, altering the course of both their lives. Following Peter Parker's death, this universe fell under the control of supervillains, with Miles G. Morales ultimately joining their ranks.

The narrative conflict between this villainous Miles and the main protagonist Miles will likely be a key element of Beyond the Spider-Verse. However, fans should brace themselves for a considerable wait, with Deadline suggesting a 2026 release at the earliest, or potentially as late as 2028 if the previous release schedule is maintained.
