After a long stretch of silence and uncertainty, ‘Spider-Man: Beyond the Spider-Verse’ finally feels like it’s coming back into focus, and fans can thank Hailee Steinfeld for the latest and most exciting update yet.
In a recent interview with MTV, the voice behind Gwen Stacy gave audiences a glimpse into the current status of the highly anticipated animated sequel. And while the road has been long, Steinfeld’s energy and optimism are clear signs that the wait will be worth it.
Hailee Steinfeld Promises Something “Masterful” In The Next Chapter Of Spider-Man
The sequel to ‘Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse’ has been caught in a web of delays since its initial release window. But with Sony’s official announcement at CinemaCon confirming a June 2027 release, the anticipation is once again building. Hailee Steinfeld’s comments now serve as the first major confirmation that production is moving ahead. Now, it’s no longer just storyboards and concepts. Actual voice work is underway.

“Yeah! We are well into that thing!” Steinfeld said. “Listen, that’s the thing, you’ve got to trust the process. If there’s one thing I’ve learned with that is that you put it in their hands, you’re going to end with something masterful, so just gotta go with it.” Steinfeld’s joy is contagious, and it’s also a reminder of how pivotal Gwen Stacy has become to this trilogy.
What began as a stunning series with ‘Into the Spider-Verse’ has grown into a full-blown multiversal saga with characters fans have deeply connected with. Gwen, in particular, has emerged as a central emotional pillar in Miles Morales’ story. This made her return not only expected but essential. There’s something comforting about hearing her speak so confidently about the creative process.
These films haven’t just raised the bar for animated superhero stories; they’ve redefined it. From the ground-breaking animation styles to the emotionally rich storytelling, the Spider-Verse trilogy has proven that superhero films can be artful, layered, and emotionally resonant. Now, with Steinfeld and (presumably) the rest of the cast back in the recording booth, it’s finally starting to feel real again.
Why The Wait For ‘Beyond The Spider-Verse’ Might Be Worth It
Hearing 2027 as the release date was tough for many fans. ‘Across the Spider-Verse’ ended on such a thrilling cliffhanger that the delay felt almost cruel. However, Steinfeld’s comments, combined with the knowledge of what this production entails, are helping fans embrace. The Spider-Verse films aren’t just animated features, they’re moving works of art.

With every installment, the filmmakers have pushed themselves further, both visually and narratively. So, there’s no reason to expect anything less from ‘Beyond the Spider-Verse’. And let’s not forget: rumors have been suggesting the possible live-action elements being introduced in the trilogy’s final chapter. If true, that would represent a massive shift. Whether or not those theories pan out, it would certainly explain the extended timeline.
So when Steinfeld says, “You’ve got to trust the process,” it’s a reminder that great things take time. The fact that she’s back recording suggests that the structure is in place. While Sony remains tight-lipped about major plot points, the momentum is clearly building. And as production progresses deeper into 2025, fans can expect more updates, perhaps even a teaser or footage by year’s end.
