Directors Announced for 'Spider-Man: Beyond the Spider-Verse'

Bob Persichetti and Justin K. Thompson, longtime contributors to the Spider-Verse franchise, will helm the third and final installment of the animated trilogy.

Bob Persichetti and Justin K. Thompson, both key figures in the first two Spider-Verse films, have been officially confirmed as directors for 'Spider-Man: Beyond the Spider-Verse.'
Persichetti co-directed the Oscar-winning 'Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse,' while Thompson served as production designer on the first film and co-directed its sequel, 'Across the Spider-Verse.'
The film, which was originally scheduled for release in March 2024, remains without a release date following delays attributed to the Hollywood strikes and production challenges.

Fans have expressed mixed reactions, with excitement over the directors' experience tempered by concerns about the film's uncertain timeline and extended production delays.
