Spider-Verse Voice Actor Still Silent on Sequel Lines

Jharrel Jerome, star of Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse, has tempered expectations for the upcoming Beyond the Spider-Verse. He revealed in an interview with Decider that he hasn't even begun recording his lines, indicating that production on the anticipated third film hasn't commenced.

Jerome stated that numerous aspects of the film are still "being figured out." This delay isn't entirely unexpected, considering the five-year gap between the first and second installments. "No, I wish," he responded when asked about production starting. "We haven’t started up yet. A lot of things being figured out, but good things."

While Jerome's role in the second film was relatively minor, his character is poised to become a central antagonist in the third. Spoiler alert for Across the Spider-Verse: He portrays Miles G. Morales from Earth-42, revealed at the film's conclusion not as Spider-Man, but as the Prowler.

This Miles' journey diverges significantly from the protagonist's. The radioactive spider bite intended for him instead bit the main Miles, altering both their destinies. With his universe's Peter Parker deceased, Miles G. Morales' reality fell under the control of supervillains, ultimately leading to his own descent into villainy.

The narrative's resolution, and the conflict between this Miles and the main Spider-Man, will likely unfold in Beyond the Spider-Verse. However, fans should prepare for a considerable wait. Deadline suggests a 2026 release at the earliest, although maintaining the previous film's release schedule would push it to 2028.
