Spider-Man: Beyond the Spider-Verse Enters Deep Edit as Team Tests Expanded IMAX Format

Producers are previewing footage at IMAX to resolve resolution and framing for a taller 1.43:1 presentation ahead of the film’s 2027 release.

Overview

  • Producers Phil Lord and Christopher Miller said they are "deep, deep in" editing and post-production in interviews published July 6–7, 2026, reporting steady progress in the edit room.
  • The filmmakers are previewing sequences at IMAX headquarters to adapt parts of the film to the expanded 1.43:1 IMAX ratio so images will fill taller screens without losing detail.
  • Beyond the Spider-Verse is presented by the studio as the final chapter of Miles Morales’ animated trilogy and is scheduled to reach theaters in 2027 after multi-year delays.
  • Story details remain tightly controlled and only a handful of images have been released, which the producers say increases pressure to finish the film carefully and protect surprises.
  • The franchise’s history of technical innovation and labor-heavy animation explains the long timeline and signals that the IMAX push could change how audiences experience the film while extending post-production work for artists and editors.
