'Spider-Man: Far From Home' Sequel Pushed Back to December 2021

The untitled “Spider-Man: Far From Home” sequel has been pushed back about a month and will now be released on Dec. 17, 2021, Sony announced on Thursday.

The movie had originally been scheduled for release on Nov. 5, 2021.

Back in April, Sony moved both the “Far From Home” sequel and the next animated “Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse” sequel. The Marvel/Sony live-action film moved from July 2021 to the Nov. date, and the “Spider-Verse” sequel moved to Oct. 7, 2022 from its April 2022 release.

Of course Spidey is in good company. Pretty much the entire Marvel Cinematic Universe, which includes Sony’s current incarnation of Spider-Man, has been dramatically pushed back as a result of this stupid pandemic you’ve probably heard about. The “Black Widow” solo film for instance was moved from it’s tony May release date to Nov. 3 of this year — a date we’ll wager will also end up changing before too long for obvious reasons — while the rest of the slate was delayed into 2021 and 2022 and beyond. (Though “New Mutants” is still scheduled for an August release.)

But also on Thursday, Paramount announced that two of its biggest upcoming tentpoles — “A Quiet Place II” and the Skydance-produced “Top Gun: Maverick” — have been shifted to 2021, while Disney postponed or rescheduled practically its entire upcoming non-Marvel slate.

“Spider-Man: Far From Home” was released on July 2, 2019, and starred Tom Holland, Zendaya and Jake Gyllenhaal. It grossed $390 million domestic and took home over $1.1 billion worldwide.

All 7 Theatrical 'Spider-Man' Movies Ranked, Worst to Best

We've been through a whole lot of Spider-Man in the past couple decades, from the Tobey Maguire years to Tom Holland in the Marvel Cinematic Universe to, now, a big-screen animated pic focused on Miles Morales and a whole bunch of other Spider-People. So how does this new animated version of Spidey stack up with the previous flicks?
7. "The Amazing Spider-Man"

The first attempt to reboot the series after the Sam Raimi version of "Spider-Man" is easily the worst Spidey film because it's just so irritating to watch. It's one thing to be bad, and it's something else entirely to be annoying.
Sony
6. "The Amazing Spider-Man 2"

Unlike its predecessor, Marc Webb's second failed attempt to make a coherent "Spider-Man" movie at least had the decency to be amusing thanks to the decision to have an unhinged, glowing Jamie Foxx as the main villain.
Sony
5. "Spider-Man 3"

In contrast to the more cynical failures of the "Amazing Spider-Man" movies, Raimi's last go-around maintained a beating heart even while it was severely hampered by somebody's need to shove a million villains in at once. The dance number alone makes it more interesting than nearly any other bad superhero movie.
Sony
4. "Spider-Man"

A lot of the early movies in the modern age of superhero blockbusters were very novel and exciting at the time but ended up feeling pretty mundane next to more recent ones, and the original "Spider-Man" movie is definitely one of those. It's fine. Solid.
Sony
3. "Spider-Man: Homecoming"

The storytelling suffers a bit upon reflection, but it's delightful and works so well as a comedy that it's hard to complain too much.
Sony
2. "Spider-Man 2"

If you look back at every comic book movie ever made, you're not going to find a whole lot that feel totally complete on their own. But "Spider-Man 2" is definitely one of them. It's not just a great superhero movie -- it's a great movie, period.
Sony
1. "Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse"

While "Spider-Man 2" might have made me cry, "Into the Spider-Verse" made me weep. It also proved once and for all that Miles Morales (Shameik Moore) is the superior Spider-Man to Peter Parker.
