The actor who voiced Spider-Punk Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Versesaid he and his co-writer Ajon Singh are finalizing the first draft of the story.
Kaluuya said fans’ enthusiasm for Spider-Punk inspired the project.
The character, another version of Hobie Brown and Spider Man, will also appear in the future Spider-Man: Beyond the Spider-Verse.
He didn’t reveal plot details or crossovers with other characters, but promised it would capture the same energy and heart fans love.
He praised filmmakers Phil Lord and Christopher Miller for guiding him.
Kaluuya said they taught him to focus on storytelling and character relationships. “These Spider-Verse movies, they speak to me. I was so inspired by them.”
Kaluuya also talked about Hollywood changes, including the recent Warner Bros. Discovery-Netflix deal worth $82.7 billion.
He said big deals are part of how the industry works, but won’t stop him from creating the stories he wants.
“I’m not prescribing this anxiety. You just have to make something undeniable that speaks to the audience,” he said.
However, the actor said he wants to keep making films that people experience in theaters and encouraged others in the industry to follow their ideas.
“Whatever it is, I’m here to tell my truth and execute that truth and get the idea out there,” he added.
Fans can expect Spider-Punk’s next adventure to remain bold, funny and full of heart just like the Spider-Verse films.
