After turning Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse into a critical and commercial smash, the filmmakers hyped up a crowd of movie theatre owners by showing an exclusive look at the first 15 minutes of the follow-up film. As per reports, producers Phil Lord and Christopher Miller also announced the next instalment, previously denoted as Part II will be titled Spider-Man: Beyond the Spider-Verse.
