Spider-Man verse delayed again, set to release on this date; Here are other films that will rule the big screen in 2025
Our friendly neighborhood Spider-Man is taking a slightly longer route through the multiverse.
Sony Pictures has officially delayed Spider-Man: Beyond the Spider-Verse, the highly anticipated third chapter in its Oscar-winning animated franchise, from June 4, 2027, to June 25, 2027. The shift marks a strategic summer repositioning aimed at maximizing audience turnout, especially among school-age viewers who may still be in session in early June.
The move also gives the film a prime release window internationally, according to studio insiders. The filmmakers also said at CinemaCon in April that their already delayed film needed time to make sure they got it just right.Four years after Across the Spider-Verse left audiences on a jaw-dropping cliffhanger, the trilogy's finale is set to reunite fans with Miles Morales, Gwen Stacy, and a dizzying array of Spider-Variants. The film is directed by Bob Persichetti and Justin K. Thompson, with a script from franchise architects Phil Lord and Chris Miller alongside David Callaham.
The Spider-Verse franchise has become a crown jewel in Sony's film portfolio. Into the Spider-Verse (2018) broke animation ground and won the Academy Award for Best Animated Feature, earning $393.6 million globally. Its 2023 sequel, Across the Spider-Verse, soared even higher, earning $690.5 million worldwide and garnering widespread critical acclaim.

Avatar: Fire and Ash Trailer Review: James Cameron's visual masterpiece brings epic war to Pandora with new conflicts
The trailer of the most anticipated, 'Avatar: Fire and Ash,' is finally here, giving audiences a glimpse of an elemental war in a breathtaking alien world. Flames rise, alliances shift, and ancient tribes clash under fiery skies. The visuals alone are jaw‑dropping, but beneath it all lies deeper emotion: loss, loyalty, and a family's struggle for survival against both nature and human ambition. What can fans expect? The trailer introduces the Ash People, a formidable Naʼvi clan dwelling near volcanic regions. Led by Varang (played by Oona Chaplin), they wield fire as both weapon and identity, challenging five of their fellow tribes and reshaping Pandora's spiritual and ecological landscape. Viewers get glimpses of Pandora's saviours, Jake Sully (Sam Worthington), Neytiri (Zoe Saldaña), their grieving family and wary allies like the Wind Traders, while the resurrected Colonel Quaritch (Stephen Lang), now in Na'vi form, emerges again as a lethal force. The master of masters, James Cameron, has hinted earlier that this chapter goes darker than ever, flipping the script on the typical Avatar narrative where Na'vi were all good and humans all bad. Expect moral ambiguity, tribal politics, and power struggles set against fire‑scarred terrain. Even Jake's son Lo'ak and adopted human child Spider (Jack Champion) take on larger arcs, exploring identity and familial allegiance in a world on the brink. James Cameron and his legendary team In terms of creative scale, this is Cameron at his most ambitious. The screenplay is credited to James Cameron, Rick Jaffa, Amanda Silver, and Josh Friedman, Shane Salerno and team that has helped evolve this saga into a thematic and visual odyssey. Actors like Sigourney Weaver, Stephen Lang, Joel David Moore and Kate Winslet join the Arcs of the Sully family, while newcomers David Thewlis and Oona Chaplin add fresh energy as Peylak (Wind Traders) and Varang (Ash clan leader). How were the early reactions of viewers? Early reaction to the trailer (shown first at CinemaCon in April 2025 and later attached to Fantastic Four) is astounding. Critics and social media commentators alike praised the film's visual grandeur, darker tone, and emotionally resonant storytelling. Some declared it a possible franchise history in the making, as ambition meets spectacle like never before. Fans in India are already excited, with over 1 million BookMyShow users marking their interest well months in advance, indicating the film's massive anticipation even before release. What is the budget of Avatar: Fire and Ash As for the financial scale, this cinematic powerhouse comes with a staggering estimated budget of $250 million (approximately Rs 2100 crore, making it one of the costliest films ever made, though reportedly around 45% smaller than its predecessor, 'The Way of Water.' With its blend of cutting-edge visuals, dramatic ambition, and narrative expansion, Avatar: Fire and Ash isn't just another sequel, it's a reinvention. More about Avatar: Fire and Ash Backed by Lightstorm Entertainment and distributed by 20th Century Studios India, Avatar: Fire and Ash was filmed simultaneously with The Way of Water between 2017 and 2020. The latest installment expands Cameron's cinematic universe with new clans (the Ash People and Wind Traders) and richer environments, from oceans and forests to volcanic craters. The music for Avatar: Fire and Ash has been composed by Simon Franglen, who also composed the score for Avatar: The Way of Water, continuing James Cameron's tradition of immersive and emotionally driven soundtracks just like his previous iconic works. Set to hit Indian cinemas on December 19, 2025, across six languages (English, Hindi, Tamil, Telugu, Malayalam, Kannada).
