Sony sets ‘Into the Spider-Verse’ sequel for 2022

The inventive, animated Spider-Man remix ‘Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse’ is getting a sequel.

Sony Pictures set a follow-up to the 2018 Oscar-winning hit for an April 2022 release. Producers Phil Lord and Christopher Miller also celebrated the announcement on Twitter and signalled that they, too, are returning.

‘Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse’ grossed $375.5 million (Dh1.3 billion) worldwide. Its deconstructionist approach to Spider-Man earned some of the best reviews of any recent superhero film, and won the Academy Award for best animated feature.

Sony and Marvel Studios recently parted ways on ‘Spider-Man’ before making up. Marvel is set to produce the third film in the live-action ‘Spider-Man’ series.
