'Spider-Man: Beyond the Spider-Verse' Finally Has a London Premiere Date

‘Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse’ ended on a cliffhanger, and it was a hit, grossing a whopping $690 million worldwide. Fans have been waiting for the ‘Spider-Man: Beyond the Spider-Verse’ premiere ever since. Few modern franchises have tested their audience’s patience quite like this one.

The delays are well documented. The film was originally scheduled for March 29, 2024, before being postponed due to the high standards set by its predecessors and the challenges of completing its intricate animation. The 2023 SAG-AFTRA strike also disrupted production, and a new date of June 4, 2027 was finally announced at Sony’s CinemaCon presentation.

Now there’s a firm date for the red carpet. Cornucopia Events, which has supplied access and tickets to film premieres and premiere afterparties in Leicester Square, London since 2002, lists the film’s London premiere for June 9. The entry appears in its June schedule alongside other films, including ‘Shrek 5’ and ‘Man of Tomorrow’.

It’s worth noting that the date comes from a third-party premiere-access supplier, so it could still shift. Even so, a listing on the calendar suggests the long-delayed finale is on track.

The film itself has a settled spot in theaters, even though it’s moved around. After a shift to June 25, Sony moved the release a week earlier to Father’s Day weekend, a rich time for animated movies. The film is now set to arrive in theaters everywhere on June 18.

The same date applies in the UK, where the film is due in cinemas on 18 June. That would put the London premiere roughly a week and a half before audiences can see it.

Behind the camera, the film is directed by Bob Persichetti and Justin K. Thompson, and written by Phil Lord, Christopher Miller and David Callaham. Lord and Miller have said it will conclude their trilogy of Spider-Verse films and the story arc of Miles Morales.

The story picks up directly after ‘Across the Spider-Verse’, with Miles trapped in an alternate dimension where he comes face to face with a darker version of himself, Miles G. That alternate Miles, who has taken on the identity of the Prowler, is played by Jharrel Jerome. Meanwhile, Miles is hunted by Miguel O’Hara’s Spider-Society and betrayed by his friends.

We’ve also seen glimpses of what’s coming. A teaser debuted at CinemaCon 2026, and it makes clear the film picks up exactly where its predecessor left off. A 4-minute trailer later leaked online, featuring Peter B. Parker, Spider-Gwen, Spider-Punk and more as Miles sets out to save his father. That footage was unofficial, so Sony’s own marketing is still the one to watch.

The bar is high. The first film earned $393.6 million at the global box office, and it even won an Academy Award. The sequel then built on that success with its worldwide haul of $690 million.

The returning voices will matter too. Shameik Moore leads as Miles, Hailee Steinfeld returns as Spider-Gwen, Jason Schwartzman is The Spot and Karan Soni plays Spider-Man India. If the film delivers on the promise of its footage, the long wait could be worth it.
