At the Oscars Luncheon, Marc Malkin from Variety stopped the team of Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse (2023) to ask about the rumored live-action Spider-Verse film. Producer and Sony Pictures chairperson Amy Pascal confirmed the project but reminded him that it’s not the next thing on their list.
“Someday. Not until we make two more movies.”
Writer and producer Phil Lord nodded in agreement, saying, “Hey, she’s the boss.”

“To clarify, when she said ‘not until we make two more movies,’ she meant Beyond the Spider-Verse and the live-action Tom Holland film.”
