Whereas there’s been a surge in discuss Spider-Man: Model New Day following the reveal of Tom Holland’s new Spidey go well with and filming starting, let’s not overlook it’s not the one upcoming Spider-Man film. Spider-Man: Past the Spider-Verse stays within the works and is presently set for a 2027 launch. As we speak, nonetheless, I’m pumped to be taught that probably the greatest characters launched in Throughout the Spider-Verse is getting their very own spinoff film.
As we speak brings phrase that Sony is in early growth on an animated characteristic centered on Daniel Kaluuya’s Hobie Brown, a.ok.a. Spider-Punk. Along with reprising his position from the 2023 film, which he’ll even be doing in Past the Spider-Verse, Kaluuya is writing the script with Primetime’s Ajon Singh. Deadline experiences that no different offers are presently in place, and plot particulars are being saved secret.
Primarily based on the character created by Dan Slott and Olivier Coipel, Daniel Kaluuya’s Spider-Punk hails from Earth-138, the place he makes use of his guitar and punk rock perspective as his most important weapon towards the totalitarian regime in command of his world. Hobie teamed up with Miles Morales, Gwen Stacy, Pavitr Prabhakar and extra to fight The Spot, and Hobie particularly helped Miles escape from Miguel O’Hara and the Spider Society after they’d imprisoned him. By the tip of Throughout the Spider-Verse, Hobie was among the many Spider-heroes Gwen recruited to assist her discover Miles within the multiverse (he ended up trapped on Earth-42, the world the place the spider that bit him got here from).
This isn’t the primary time we’ve heard a few Spider-Verse spinoff film being labored on. Shortly earlier than Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse was launched in 2018, Sony introduced a characteristic specializing in three generations of Spider-heroines, together with Gwen Stacy, Jessica Drew and Cindy Moon. As of 2023, that spinoff was nonetheless in growth, but it surely’s unclear if that continues to be the case two years later. Given how properly acquired Daniel Kaluuya’s model of Spider-Punk was acquired, I’d wish to suppose that improves the possibilities of his spinoff formally being greenlit, as a result of I’m positively eager on seeing this.
Together with Spider-Man: Throughout the Spider-Verse, 2023 additionally noticed Kaluuya making his filmmaking debut with Netflix’s The Kitchen, when he co-directed with Kibwe Tavares and co-wrote with Joe Murtagh. Wanting past… Past the Spider-Verse, the actor has two A24 initiatives lined up. The primary is co-starring within the untitled Chris Rock film that started filming final month, and the second is the adult-focused Barney film, which he’s producing via his 59% banner and has The Bear’s Ayo Edebiri connected.
Assuming there aren’t anymore setbacks, Spider-Man: Past the Spider-Verse will swing into theaters on June 25, 2027, and it’s onerous to say how lengthy after that the Spider-Punk spinoff would arrive if it does certainly transfer ahead. In the meantime, you’re welcome to revisit Throughout the Spider-Verse by streaming it with a Disney+ subscription.
