Beyond the Spider-Verse is in a state of limbo right now, but lucky for you a new Spider-Man short just came out that can hopefully tide you over a bit longer.
Originally, Beyond the Spider-Verse was meant to launch this week, as Sony had announced last year that it was getting a release date of March 29, 2024. It’s now indefinitely delayed, because of the pair of strikes that took place last year, though to be honest that always sounded like an optimistic date, especially considering the allegations levied against its predecessor Across the Spider-Verse. There’s still no word on when Beyond the Spider-Verse might release, but Sony Pictures Animation has released a short film about Miles Morales with a different kind of battle: his own mental health.
The short film, titled The Spider Within: A Spider-Verse Story, is just above though I would issue a content warning to those of you with arachnophobia, as there is a scene that features a whole lot of spiders that is presented in quite an uncomfortable manner. It’s a good little short though, one looking at how the stresses of being a superhero might affect a teenager.
