Recent news about the delays facing Spider-Man: Beyond The Spider-Verse highlights how truly remarkable Avengers: Endgame was, even after all these years. Endgame‘s influence on the superhero movie genre—and popular culture in general—is enormous, especially considering it earned an incredible $2.7 billion worldwide.
Since Avengers: Endgame came out, its incredible success has been a double-edged sword for the Marvel Cinematic Universe. It showed filmmakers how to create a truly massive, impactful superhero movie, but it also raised audience expectations for every film that followed. Looking back now, especially with discussions around Spider-Man: Beyond the Spider-Verse, Endgame‘s achievement in 2019 feels even more remarkable.
Spider-Man: Beyond The Spider-Verse’s Delay Comments Further Show Why Avengers: Endgame Is So Impressive
Phil Lord and Chris Miller, the writers and producers behind the Spider-Verse movies, recently explained the reasons for the long delay in releasing Spider-Man: Beyond The Spider-Verse. The film is now scheduled to come out in 2027.
Looking back, the decision to expand the story from two films into a trilogy really complicated things. What was originally planned for the second movie ended up being split into Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse and Spider-Man: Beyond the Spider-Verse. As Phil Lord and Chris Miller have explained, essentially having to deconstruct and rebuild Beyond the Spider-Verse from scratch was the biggest reason for the delays. It was a massive undertaking, and they really had to piece it all back together.
As Chris Miller pointed out, the way the second half of the movie unfolds isn’t a simple, self-contained story. This complex structure has created significant challenges for the filmmakers working on Spider-Man: Beyond The Spider-Verse, particularly when it comes to pacing and how the story unfolds.
It’s particularly noteworthy that the most successful superhero film ever, Avengers: Endgame, tells a very similar story. As the conclusion to the Infinity Saga, Endgame had to create a satisfying, standalone plot despite beginning in a strange situation – picking up after Avengers: Infinity War ended with half of all life vanishing in ‘the Snap’.
The continued difficulty filmmakers face when tackling similar storylines highlights just how challenging it is to create a good superhero movie. The massive success and ongoing praise for Avengers: Endgame demonstrate how well the team executed their vision, setting a high standard for the genre that remains unmatched.
The MCU Is Set To Mirror Spider-Man: Beyond The Spider-Verse’s Story Challenges With Avengers: Secret Wars
Marvel is heading towards a tricky storytelling situation in 2027. Like Avengers: Endgame before it, two major films – Spider-Man: Beyond The Spider-Verse and Avengers: Secret Wars – will need to successfully wrap up large storylines. Secret Wars is expected to conclude the Multiverse Saga, mirroring how Endgame finished the Infinity Saga a few years earlier.
It will be interesting to see how these new films perform compared to others, and it will likely emphasize just how remarkable Avengers: Endgame was. It’s possible that even the combined box office numbers for Beyond The Spider-Verse and Secret Wars won’t match Endgame‘s total – and both of those films could still be very successful even if they don’t reach that level.
