Footage from Spider-Man: Beyond the Spider-Verse picks up the moment Across the Spider-Verse ended, with Miles Morales trapped on Earth-42 and facing his Prowler counterpart.
Sony hasn’t released an official trailer yet, but the CinemaCon reel shown in April leaked online in August, and here’s what it reveals.

‘Is There an Official Beyond the Spider-Verse Trailer?’
Not yet. The footage was shown privately at CinemaCon in April and was never released publicly.
A roughly four-minute version leaked in August, and co-writer Christopher Miller called it “unfinished, not fully rendered footage.”
Keep that in mind, because what fans saw is a rough cut and not the finished film.
Reports suggest Sony could debut a real trailer around early December, but that timing is just speculation for now.
‘What Happens in the Opening Scene?’
The footage opens right where Across the Spider-Verse left off, with Miles tied to a punching bag by the alternate dimension version of his Uncle Aaron.
Prowler Miles creeps above him on the ceiling, and Miles realizes there is no Spider-Man on Earth-42.
He tries to explain that he plans to save his father from a “canon event.”
Miles later breaks free and fights Prowler, then squares off with Spider-Man 2099 (Miguel O’Hara).
‘Which Spider-People Are Back?’
A sizzle reel follows the opening scene, and it brings back a long list of familiar faces.
Gwen Stacy (aka Spider-Gwen), Peter B. Parker, Spider-Ham and Spider-Punk all appear, along with the Kingpin.
The Spot also looks far more dangerous than before.
Sony’s synopsis says Miles is hunted by Miguel’s Spider Society and betrayed by his friends as he searches for a way home.

‘Why Has the Wait Been So Long?’
The film was first dated for March 2024, then pulled from the schedule after the actors strike and animation delays.
It later moved to June 4, 2027, before settling on June 18, 2027.
Across the Spider-Verse earned about $690 million worldwide, and 2018’s Into the Spider-Verse won the Oscar for Best Animated Feature.
The filmmakers have called this finale the most emotional and most spectacular Spider-Verse film they’ve made.
