Deadline revealed in the present day that Sony Footage Animation is growing an animated solo journey for Hobie Brown, aka Spider-Punk, the too-cool-for-school breakout character from among the many mass of recent multiverse Spider-Folks in 2023’s Spider-Man: Throughout the Spider-Verse. Get Out star Daniel Kaluuya, who voiced the character, is growing the film with co-writer Ajon Singh, screenwriter of the upcoming Robert Pattinson film Primetime.
It is a lot too early to essentially have a good time that call — most motion pictures within the growth stage by no means make it to manufacturing, not to mention theaters — however for Hobie followers, it is nonetheless thrilling information. Simply the wildest and most intriguing new addition to the Spider-Verse-iverse as of the trilogy’s second film, Spider-Punk is a standout in each scene he seems in. His progressive, startling animation and couture fashion make him a fan-favorite, however his rebellious, laid-back persona is the true winner. In Throughout the Spider-Verse, he is only a minor goad for protagonist Miles Morales (Shameik Moore): Miles envies Hobie’s apparent closeness with Gwen Stacy/Spider-Gwen (Hailee Steinfeld), however Hobie’s spirit of revolt nonetheless places him on Miles’ aspect when the chips are down.
Giving the character area to truly do one thing on his personal with that revolt, although? Particularly after dramatically peacing out on the cross-dimensional Spider-Society in Throughout the Spider-Verse, in a manner that might let him face his personal villains with out getting concerned in some hyperdimensional plot? Deliver it on.
It is sensible Sony can be searching for the following spin-offs and sidebars within the Spider-Verse saga, given what number of field workplace information the primary two motion pictures within the sequence have damaged. Transferring away from Miles’ story can be daring, but additionally a satisfying technique to make the most of the sprawling universe the primary two motion pictures established.
There is not any phrase but on whether or not Kaluuya and Singh are drawing on present Spider-Punk comics or, as Miles would put it, they’re gonna do their very own factor. The Spider-Verse model of the character is already totally different sufficient from the comics to warrant his personal completely new narrative set in a Marvel model of the ’60s London punk scene he seems to come back from. And it stays to be seen whether or not any publish Spider-Verse motion pictures will get the form of price range, animation innovation, and lengthy, lengthy manufacturing time that the Spider-Verse motion pictures have gotten. If not, simply bear in mind: Hobie would not consider in consistency, so it would be fairly in character for him to star in a film that appears nothing just like the movie that spawned it.
