Beyond the Spider-Verse moves to June 25, 2027 amid release strategy shift
Sony Pictures has moved the highly anticipated animated film's release date from June 4 to June 25, 2027 — a strategic decision designed to maximize the film's summer box office performance.
According to Variety, the three-week delay was made to ensure the movie opens when '100% of schools in the U.S. will be on summer break,' giving younger audiences full access to the film's theatrical debut. The timing aims to capitalize on the popularity of Miles Morales and the Spider-Verse franchise among school-aged fans.
Originally announced for a March 2024 release, Beyond the Spider-Verse has endured multiple delays. Production was halted due to the WGA and SAG-AFTRA strikes in 2023. By the end of 2024, the studio scrapped much of the existing material, leading to a near-complete restart. It wasn't until CinemaCon 2025 that the current release date was confirmed.
The trilogy began with the groundbreaking Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse in 2018, which grossed nearly $400 million globally and introduced Miles Morales to the big screen. Its 2023 sequel, Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse, received critical acclaim and cemented the franchise's status as one of the most beloved animated series of the decade.
Now, with Beyond the Spider-Verse set to conclude the trilogy, fans can expect a spectacular sendoff — just a little later than planned.

Sony tells Marvel to pause live-action Miles Morales plans, Kevin Feige confirms in interview
Marvel Studios has confirmed it will not introduce a live-action Miles Morales Spider-Man in the Marvel Cinematic Universe at this time, following a request from Sony. Speaking during a roundtable interview attended by Variety, Marvel Studios president Kevin Feige stated that plans for a live-action version of the character are currently 'nowhere.' 'We've been told to stay away,' Feige added, indicating that this position is likely to remain in place until the conclusion of Sony's Spider-Verse trilogy. The final part of that trilogy, Spider-Man: Beyond the Spider-Verse, is scheduled for release on June 25 2027, following previous delays. Fans had speculated that Miles Morales could appear in Tom Holland's upcoming Spider-Man film, Spider-Man: Brand New Day, set for release on July 31 2026. The Marvel Cinematic Universe has previously referenced Miles Morales indirectly, with Spider-Man: Homecoming featuring Aaron Davis, played by Donald Glover, who mentions a 'nephew' living in New York. Additionally, Daredevil Born Again briefly mentions an 'Officer Morales,' which some fans believe is a nod to Miles' father. Feige also confirmed during the same interview that Marvel Studios plans to recast the X-Men when the characters are introduced into the MCU, as part of a broader reset following Avengers: Secret Wars. For now, fans can continue to see both Peter Parker and Miles Morales in Insomniac's Spider-Man game series, while a live-action debut for Miles Morales in the MCU will not take place before 2027.

Mariah Carey announces new album 'Here For It All' — what we know so far

The pop icon revealed the news on social media Monday morning, sharing a brief video featuring her signature strut in spike heels and a teaser of the title track playing in the background. Here For It All 🦋 My new album out 9/26 🦋 Pre-order now! — Mariah Carey (@MariahCarey) July 21, 2025 The album rollout began in early June with the release of its lead single, 'Type Dangerous,' co-written and co-produced with acclaimed musician Anderson .Paak. The track, which channels Carey's classic sound, samples Eric B. & Rakim's 'Eric B. Is President' and features a cameo from YouTuber Mr. Beast in the official video. Although the full tracklist remains under wraps, Carey has hinted that the next single could be titled 'Sugar Sweet.' In a 2024 interview with Variety, Carey shared her excitement about the new material, saying she had written several songs and was in the process of deciding which ones to include on the final album. Here For It All marks her first full-length project in seven years, following 2018's Caution, which was released through Epic Records and featured collaborations with producers like Skrillex, Mustard, No I.D., and Timbaland. Carey's new album also marks a major career move. She is now signed to Gamma, an independent label founded in 2023 by music industry veterans Larry Jackson and L.A. Reid. According to Forbes, Reid will serve as executive producer on the album through his company Mega. 'It's a game-changing moment,' Reid said, highlighting the significance of a global superstar partnering with a self-contained indie label rather than a major record company. With anticipation building, Here For It All promises a return to form for Carey and a new chapter in her storied career.

Anne Hathaway Shares First Look as Andy Sachs in ‘The Devil Wears Prada 2'
Anne Hathaway has officially returned to her iconic role as Andy Sachs in The Devil Wears Prada 2, as revealed in a first-look photo shared on social media by the Oscar-winning actor and 20th Century Studios. The upcoming sequel to the 2006 hit comedy-drama is currently in production, with Hathaway set to reunite with original cast members Meryl Streep, Emily Blunt, and Stanley Tucci. Director David Frankel and screenwriter Aline Brosh McKenna are also returning to helm the long-anticipated follow-up. In the photo, Hathaway captioned the image 'Andy Sachs 2025,' giving fans a glimpse of her character nearly two decades after the events of the original film. In the first movie, Hathaway's character was an aspiring journalist who took a job as the assistant to fashion magazine editor Miranda Priestly, portrayed by Streep. By the end of the film, Andy left her position at Runway magazine to pursue a journalism career at a major New York newspaper. Plot details for the sequel remain under wraps. However, as reported by Variety, the story is expected to follow Miranda Priestly as she contends with the challenges of a changing media landscape and the decline of traditional magazine publishing. Blunt's character, once her assistant, is now a powerful executive at a luxury fashion conglomerate—setting the stage for a dramatic clash. New additions to the cast include Kenneth Branagh, who is set to play Miranda's husband, along with Lucy Liu, Justin Theroux, B.J. Novak, and Pauline Chalamet in unspecified roles. Broadway talents Helen J. Shen and Conrad Ricamora, as well as comedian Caleb Hearon, will also appear. Tracie Thoms and Tibor Feldman are confirmed to reprise their roles from the original film. The Devil Wears Prada 2 is scheduled to hit theaters on May 1, 2026, via 20th Century Studios and Disney.
