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 voice lines for the film, indicating production is yet to commence. Jerome stated that several aspects of the project are still "being figured out."
This delay isn't entirely unexpected, considering the five-year gap between the first and second films.
"No, I wish," Jerome 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 Across the Spider-Verse was relatively small, his character is poised to become a central antagonist in the third installment. Spoiler alert for Across the Spider-Verse's ending: He portrays Miles G. Morales from Earth-42, revealed at the film's conclusion as the Prowler, not Spider-Man.
In this alternate reality, the radioactive spider bite intended for Miles instead bit the universe's Peter Parker. Following Peter Parker's death, this Miles's universe fell under the control of supervillains, leading to his own transformation into a villain.
The narrative of how this villainous Miles interacts with the main protagonist Miles Morales will likely unfold in Beyond the Spider-Verse. However, fans should anticipate a considerable wait, with Deadline suggesting a 2026 release at the earliest, or potentially as late as 2028, mirroring the timeframe between the previous films.
