"More time to make it great," writer and producer Christopher Miller tweeted after the delay was announced.
The Oscar-winning Into the Spider-Verse came out in 2018 and followed Miles Morales as he became the new Spider-Man in the wake of the death of his universe's Peter Parker. His first adventure sees him running into a bunch of Spider-People from other universes.
Its sequel looks like it'll continue this trend, with the first trailer showing Miles battling Spider-Man 2099 (Oscar Isaac) in colorful future metropolis Nueva York.
Live-action Spidey spinoffs Kraven the Hunter and Madame Web are scheduled for release on Jan. 13, 2023 and July 7, 2023 respectively, Sony confirmed to CNET via email.
