The first major impact of the long-running screenwriter strikes in Hollywood was on Sony. Sony’s animated series Spider-Man: In the Spider-Verse, the second movie in the animated series, came out more recently, but the studio has started work on the third movie in the series and even has a release date.
However, they also benefited from the effects of the strike carried out by the Writers Guild of America, and the vision date of Spider-Man: Beyond the Spider-Verse, which will be the third film in the series, had to be postponed, which was set for the spring of 2024.
Many movies have been delayed, including not just Spider-Man, but Kraven the Hunter
Trying to find a different approach to market the movie without celebrities such as Orlando Bloom and David Harbor, Sony changed its plans for the new racing movie Gran Turismo to be released on August 11. The film will be released on August 25 and will premiere on the weekends of August 11 and 18.
The company also shot the movie Kraven the Hunter, starring Aaron Taylor-Johnson, in October. Apart from the delays, the release dates of two important movies such as Venom 3 and Bad Boys 4 have also been announced: Both are coming on June 14, 2024.
Spider-Man: Beyond the Spider-Verse was the biggest project hit by the writer’s strike, as it will be part of a series that is loved by many and is highly profitable. Sony had to remove the movie from the release schedule, as the actors of the movie could not yet voice their voices. Actually, the film was expected to be postponed before the strike, but the strike accelerated the process.
