Bob Persichetti and Justin K. Thompson To Direct "Spider-Man: Beyond The Spider-verse"

(via Deadline) The final film in Sony Animation’s Beyond The Spider-Verse trilogy has found its directors as Bob Persichetti and Justin K. Thompson are set to direct the highly-anticipated conclusion to the studio’s Oscar-winning Spider-Verse trilogy, Spider-Man: Beyond the Spider-Verse.

“Beyond The Spider-verse” is having a tumultuous journey. I had written about how Sony had scrapped the entire footage and rewrote the script, pushing the release to 2026-2027.

The radical move was graciously recived by the animators working on the film, as they would have more time to work on the detailed animation.

Both Persichetti and Thompson were involved in the first two installments of the Oscar-winning film franchise. They had this to say about getting the directing job for the final film:

“We have had the immense privilege of being part of Miles’ journey from the very beginning, and directing the conclusion to his story is beyond exciting,” said Persichetti and Thompson. “The creativity and care poured into every minute of this project has been truly inspiring. We have crafted what we feel is a very satisfying ending, and we can’t wait for fans to experience it – we’re bringing everything we’ve got!”

Phil Lord and Christopher Miller penned the script with David Callaham.
