Spider-Punk looks set for an animated spinoff, with Daniel Kaluuya reportedly set to reprise the role from Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse.
Deadline reported that Sony Pictures Animation is in “early” development on the Spider-Punk animated feature, from co-writers Daniel Kaluuya and Ajon Singh.
There are no further details, but Deadline pointed out that it seems likely Kaluuya will reprise the role of Spider-Punk in the feature. Kaluuya played Hobart “Hobie” Brown / Spider-Punk in 2023’s Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse, and is set to play the same character in 2027’s trilogy-ender Spider-Man: Beyond the Spider-Verse.
Spider-Punk first appeared in Marvel comics in 2015 as a homeless teenager who becomes a hero to the citizens of New York in his own universe, sporting the same powers as Peter Parker but with a deep affinity for punk rock. This grungy Spider-Man is the leader of an underground resistance against Norman Osborn’s authoritarian rule, and he’s not completely sold on the idea of the Spider Society.
It’s a busy time for Kaluuya, best-known for his roles in Get Out, Black Panther, and Nope. He’s also working on an adult-focused live-action Barney movie.
And it is of course a busy time for Spider-Man. Production on Tom Holland’s Spider-Man: Brand New Day is underway (as everyone in Glasgow, Scotland knows), with a July 31, 2026 release date. Spider-Man: Beyond the Spider-Verse arrives a year later, on June 25, 2027. There’s also Spider-Noir, a live-action Prime Video series starring Nicolas Cage, due out next year.
