That hype has now been compounded as@kianwyld’sedit ofSpider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse’s final sequence has become the latest in a recent cavalcade of content to use a choir cover of Madonna’s “Like a Prayer” fromDeadpool & Wolverinein other Marvel movie scenes.
Sony’s Spider-Verse movies are acclaimed for their soundtracks and comprise one of few Marvel movies to utilize pop tracks. The original final sequence was originally accompanied by Daniel Pemberton’s original score - but Madonna’s “Like a Prayer” certainly adds some extra emotional heft to the sequence as it sets up the sequel.

Everything We Know About Spider-Man: Beyond The Spider-Verse’s Release
The Release Date Changed Last Year
Spider-Man: Beyond the Spider-Versewas originally slated for a March 2024 release date, though this was removed fromSony’s Spider-Man release slatein July 2023. Since then, updates have been scarce aside from assurances by those involved in the movie, such as Miles Morales actor Shameik Moore, that the movie is definitely en route and worth getting hyped about. Pavitr Prabhakar actor, Karen Soni, delivered the latest update in August, stating:
We’re going to start recording for that one in a few months which I’m so excited about. That movie is deep in production. It’s animation, so it’s different and takes a long time. We’ll see when it’s ready and when it ends up coming out, but, I’m really excited.
As Soni indicates, a concrete release date remains elusive for now. His comments that the movie is “deep in production,” however, is a promising sign, and may indicate a late 2025 or early 2026 release date, depending on how smoothly the next steps of the production go. Filmmakers have also assured that the movie will not use any generative AI - which is a good sign but also indicative of how long the movie will take to make. As the last twoSpider-Verse movies were Oscars contenders,Spider-Man: Beyond the Spider-Versewill likely strive for the same.
Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Versewas released on June 01, 2025.
The movie will pick up whereSpider-Man: Across the Spider-Verseleft off, with Miles Morales trapped in a universe in which a variant of himself has picked up the Prowler mantle and holds him captive. Gwen Stacy and a ragtag group of Spider Society members who debuted inSpider-Man: Into the Spider-Verseand the sequel will be seeking Morales out, while Spot continues on a vengeful spree across the multiverse. Suffice it to say, the long build-up will only add to the hype - but we can be sure that it will be worth the wait.
