“Spider-Verse” film series producer Phil Lord says the upcoming “Spider-Man: Beyond the Spider-Verse” will feature a whole new camera pipeline allowing the animators to do tricks they never could do before.
The final film of the trilogy reportedly picks up right from the end of “Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse” with Miles Morales (Shameik Moore) confronted by his alternate universe version, who is also The Prowler.
The new film is specifically formatted for premium large-format theaters like IMAX for the first time, with an audience at CinemaCon getting a first look earlier this year. Speaking with Matt Belloni for his The Town podcast, Lord says the technology for the films continues to improve:
“The particular looks that we’re doing are really, really unique & they don’t follow rules of three-dimensional animation. They’re much more in a 2D multiplane kind of style.
The camera work pipeline is completely new & a lot more akin to a live-action pipeline. So it’s a lot more handheld. There’s live-action operators that are part of it, like shooting things virtually. The camera work is outstanding.”
Bob Persichetti and Justin K. Thompson are directing the film which will arrive four years after the second film and nine years after the first. Lord and Chris Miller, who created the trilogy, are returning to co-write the screenplay.
“Spider-Man: Beyond the Spider-verse” will arrive in cinemas on June 4th 2027.
