Some die-hard Spider-Verse aficionados recently stumbled upon a massive neon sign adorning a New York building, and it’s sparked speculation that it might be linked to the upcoming third movie in the series.
Originally, Spider-Man: Beyond the Spider-Verse was pegged for a March release this year. However, production saw delays partly due to last year’s strikes. While rumors floated around that the film might be pushed back all the way to 2027, indications are that things are still progressing. Official updates have been sparse since the initial delay announcement. But recently, fans wandering through Chelsea, New York spotted an enormous neon emblem of Miles Morales’ spider-symbol from Across the Spider-Verse displayed prominently on what looks like an apartment building. This unexpected sight led many to surmise that some big news might be just around the corner.
A photo of this striking sign made its way onto a Spider-Man subreddit. While some lightheartedly theorized it was merely a passionate tribute from the building’s owner, others noted that Chelsea is significant as Gwen Stacy’s neighborhood in Across the Spider-Verse. This nugget of info certainly raises eyebrows. Still, it seems like an unusual promotional strategy for the film, considering it’s an operational apartment building. One can only imagine what the residents think of having a bright neon sign illuminating their nights. Plus, it’s positioned right next to a Latter-Day Saints church, which might not be too thrilled either for similar reasons.
For now, details about Beyond are shrouded in mystery, except that it will pick up from that tantalizing cliffhanger left by the previous film and that it boasts a production entirely free from AI. While fans eagerly await a trailer for more insights, those in New York might find amusement in hunting down the sign for themselves.
