The creative duo also gave update on the long awaited sequel to Into the Spider-Verse which recently suffered a delay and scheduled to release on June 2, 2023. Lord said the following on the delay of Into The Spider-Verse 2:
“Yeah, there was a moment where, ‘We could try to get it out at the original date and it would be fine,’ but the expectations for this film is that its going to be – it has to be as groundbreaking and as special and as wonderful as, I think, the first one was. So we thought ‘Let’s not try and rush it. Let’s make it good. Let’s make it great. Let’s make every scene be its best self and not just a thing we’re doing to get it out on time.”
