Cast

Production

Following the November 2014 hacking of Sony Pictures' computers, Sony was revealed to have been trying to develop an animated comedy Spider-Man film with Phil Lord and Christopher Miller.[3] On April 22, 2015, Sony announced that the Spider-Man animated feature film would be produced and written by Lord and Miller with Avi Arad, Matt Tolmach and Amy Pascal attached as the producers.[4] The animated film would be independent of all the ongoing live-action films in the Spider-Man universe.[4] In June 2016, Sony Pictures Animation hired the Puss in Boots and The Little Prince's head of story Bob Persichetti to direct the animated film.[5]

In January 2017, it was announced that the film would feature the Miles Morales version of Spider-Man, and it was revealed that Peter Ramsey would be the co-director.[6] Alex Hirsch was confirmed to be contributing the story for the animated film.[7] The following April, Shameik Moore was cast to provide the voice of Miles Morales, while Liev Schreiber would voice the unknown villain role for the film.[1] In June 2017, Mahershala Ali and Brian Tyree Henry joined the voice cast.[2]

Release

The film is scheduled to be released on December 14, 2018 by Columbia Pictures.[8] It was previously scheduled to be released on July 20, 2018.[4] But later in December 2015, the film's release date was moved back to December 21, 2018.[9]
