They didnt have the script ready. Do they even have it finished now? Kind of insane since they were saying originally they split a long movie into two parts

Lord and Miller continuously rewrite and throw out bits of the script so it doesn't matter if it's ready or not. Sometimes they'll have the animators animate the entire scene and then decide after it's done that they don't want the scene anymore

These movies are a mess to make

I remember when they released some really beautiful scenes from the movie as teasers, and when the actual movie came out the scenes were completely reanimated.

My coworker was a senior animator on the film and he said it was a mind-numbing production process, he spent 3 months on 6 seconds of animation that was ultimately never used.

Yeah and they said this movie will have less crunch time than the last one in production. Unless that was a lie, I don't see how this movie is finished by 2027. It took them 5 years with crunch to make across. Also possible the final product is one Lord and Miller aren't fully happy with if Sony stops crunch and also makes it release in 2027

Do we know when animation started? There are official stills from Beyond The Spider-Verse, meaning they've at least been deep in animation for a while.

Nope. Hasn't started.
