Development

In November 2018, ahead of the release of Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse the next month, Sony Pictures Animation had begun development on a sequel to the film, due to the "incredible buzz" surrounding the project. The sequel was set to continue the story of Shameik Moore's Miles Morales / Spider-Man, working from "seeds [that were] planted" throughout the first film. Joaquim Dos Santos and David Callaham were set to direct and write the film, respectively, with Amy Pascal returning from the first film as producer. The other producers of the first film—Phil Lord, Christopher Miller, Avi Arad, and Christina Steinberg—were all also expected to return for the sequel in some capacity.[1] In December 2018, Pascal revealed that the film would focus on Morales and Hailee Steinfeld's Gwen Stacy / Spider-Gwen, exploring a romance between the two characters that had been cut from the first film. She added that the sequel would serve as a "launching pad" for a previously announced female-focused spin-off film starring Steinfeld.[2] In November 2019 Sony officially confirmed the sequel, setting a release date of April 8, 2022. Lord and Miller were confirmed to be returning as producers. Lord indicated that the film would include the "Japanese Spider-Man" from the 1978 Spider-Man series. Lord revealed that design work for new characters in the film had also just begun.[3] In March 2020, comic book artist Kris Anka revealed that he was working on the sequel.[4] In April 2020, Sony shifted the film's release date to October 7, 2022 when making changes to its film schedule due to the COVID-19 pandemic.[5] In May 2020, Sony entered in a promotional partnership with Hyundai Motor Company to showcase their new models and technologies in the film.[6]
