"Spider-Verse Star Yet to Record Lines"

Jharrel Jerome, star of Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse, has tempered expectations about the release of the eagerly awaited third installment, Beyond the Spider-Verse. In a recent interview with Decider, Jerome revealed that he hasn't even begun recording lines for the film, indicating that production is still in the planning stages. "No, I wish," Jerome stated when asked about the start of production. "We haven’t started up yet. A lot of things being figured out, but good things."

Given that Across the Spider-Verse was released five years after the first film in 2023, fans weren't expecting Beyond the Spider-Verse to hit theaters anytime soon. However, Jerome's comments suggest that the wait might be even longer than anticipated.

53 ImagesJerome's role in the second film was relatively minor, but he is poised to take on a significant role in the third as the main antagonist. Spoiler warning for Across the Spider-Verse's finale: Jerome plays Miles G. Morales from Earth-42, a version of Miles who, unlike the protagonist, did not become Spider-Man but instead became the Prowler. This alternate Miles' life took a darker turn when the radioactive spider meant for him ended up in the protagonist's reality, leading to a world where supervillains rule after the death of his universe's Peter Parker.

The narrative of how this alternate Miles' story intersects with the main Miles Morales, who did become Spider-Man, is expected to be a central focus of Beyond the Spider-Verse. However, fans will need to exercise patience, as the film is not expected to be released until 2026 at the earliest, according to Deadline. If it follows the release pattern of the previous film, it might not arrive until 2028.
