Spider-Verse writer Chris Miller is not happy about those footage leaks

Fans of Sony's Spider-Verse animated films have been waiting for three years, but their patience is wearing thin due to the long gap between films. Chris Miller, a writer and producer from the successful Lord and Miller duo, expressed his frustration on Twitter about leaked footage from the upcoming "Beyond The Spider-Verse." The film, rescheduled for a June 2027 release, is currently facing delays.

Miller's concern was limited to his disapproval of leaks involving unfinished, unpolished footage. The leaks originated from studios showcasing portions of the movie at events like Cinema Con and Comic-Con. While some fans were relieved to learn that the footage, which included a potentially uncomfortable family reunion scene for Miles Morales, was not the final version, others remain concerned about the film's animator turnover issues.

The leaks not only upset fans but also highlight the challenges of keeping such materials secret in an era where high-definition cameras are ubiquitous.
