Coy Jandreau Gets Full Body Chills at Spider-verse 3 Trailer Reactions
Coy Jandreau said the first spider-verse 3 trailer reactions included “full body chills” after CinemaCon attendees saw early footage from Spider-Man: Beyond the Spider-Verse in April 2026. The reaction matters because the film will not reach theaters until June 18, 2027, so this was the first public sign that the trilogy-capping threequel is landing with critics and industry attendees.
April 2026 CinemaCon footage
The footage shown at CinemaCon included the opening scene and a short sizzle reel of what to expect, with some press members, theater owners and industry bigwigs getting an exclusive peek. Coy Jandreau said he saw the first 3/4 mins in its entirety, while Barry Hetz said the five-minute clip “honestly, rocks” and described it as “Beautiful, funny, jammed with action.”
Scott Menzel called the footage “insanely good” and said it continues to expand animation in ways never seen before. Rosa Parra said the sneak peek surpassed what she had seen from the 2018 and 2023 films, and Daniel Howat called the clips “insanely good” and “boundary-pushing.”
Spider-Punk and the visuals
Andrew J. Salazar said the footage shows more of Spider-Punk’s dimension and has “some of the best visuals” in the trilogy. Manny Gomez said the action is “fast-paced” and that the stakes feel high, while Jandreau added that the animation had evolved even from Across the Spider-Verse and that there was so much emotion throughout.
The early response gives theater owners and press a useful read on where Sony’s animated franchise stands after the award-winning predecessors released in 2018 and 2023. Those reactions are doing the real work here: they give the next film momentum before a frame of it reaches the public outside the CinemaCon room.
June 18, 2027 release
Spider-Man: Beyond the Spider-Verse is scheduled to hit theaters on June 18, 2027, and the CinemaCon preview is now the only hard signal audiences have for what the final chapter is building toward. For a series that has traded on visual invention, the first footage suggests the studio is leaning even harder into scale, speed and emotion.
