There’s no such thing as a perfect comic book movie, but the folks at Sony came about as close as you can at the end of 2018. Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse is one of the most beloved superhero films out there, and it swept through the awards season last year on its way to toppling Incredibles 2 and taking home the Academy Award for Best Animated Film. It should come as no surprise, especially given the film’s ending, that Spider-Verse is getting a sequel. Fans want more of Miles Morales and his friends and Sony has finally confirmed that the follow-up film is on the way. Spider-Verse 2 is very much a real thing, and it’s hitting theaters in a couple of years.

On Friday afternoon, Sony announced in a Tweet that Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse 2 would be arriving on April 8, 2022. This may seem like a long way off, and no one wants to wait another two and a half years for Spider-Verse 2, but that’s probably the soonest a movie like this could possibly be ready. Considering how unique the animation style is, the Spider-Verse movies will always take quite a bit of time.
