With the ongoing SAG-AFTRA and WGA strikes, films have had a rough go at getting cameras rolling. Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse just came out, but its sequel, Beyond the Spider-Verse, has been delayed indefinitely. The producers have given a murky update regarding when it will come out.

That said, Phil Lord and Christopher Miller, the filmmaking duo behind Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs and 21 Jump Street, have provided an update on the animated Spider-Man sequel. Speaking to Digital Spy about their latest film, Strays, they said that Beyond the Spider-Verse will be released “when it is ready.”

“Those conversations are thankfully above our paygrade, but I can tell you we're already hard at work on it, and we'll take the time it takes to make it great,” Lord said.

Miller added, “What we're trying to accomplish with the film is have it be the most satisfying conclusion to the story than it can be, and take it to places that you haven’t been before. And make you laugh and cry, and cheer and think.”

Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse is the sequel to the highly-successful Into the Spider-Verse. The sequel has grossed $684 during its theatrical run — with $380.7 million coming domestically. That's almost as much as its predecessor grossed worldwide ($384 million).

A third Spider-Verse movie is coming, but it will take time. Animated films take a long time to make on a good day — let alone ones of this scale. Rest assured, Miles Morales' Spider-Man will grace the silver screen once again very soon.

Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse is in theaters now.
