Spider-Verse Enthusiasts Anticipate Announcement as Massive Neon Sign Appears in New York, While Nearby Renters Deal with the Disruption

Fans of the Spider-Verse have been buzzing recently, thanks to a gigantic neon sign that has appeared in New York. The sign, as large as an apartment building, caught the attention of some enthusiastic followers who believe it could be hinting at the next installment in the franchise.

Initially, Spider-Man: Beyond the Spider-Verse was slated for a March release this year. However, last year’s strikes caused some disruptions. While rumors have swirled about a delay stretching as far as 2027, the general feeling is that production is progressing. Though nothing official has been confirmed regarding the threequel since its setback, a new wave of speculation has been triggered by the appearance of a huge neon sign in Chelsea, New York. Spotted by Spider-Man fans as they roamed the area, the sign features Miles Morales’ spider emblem from Across the Spider-Verse being affixed to an apparent residential building. This has led many to wonder if an official announcement is looming on the horizon.

The photo of the sign quickly made its rounds on a Spider-Man subreddit. Theories varied, with some humorously suggesting that perhaps the building’s owner is merely a huge fan of the character. Yet, others noted Chelsea’s significance—it’s where Gwen Stacy resides in Across the Spider-Verse, which understandably sparked further interest. The choice to use a residential building for potential promotional purposes seems a bit unconventional. For starters, residents may not warmly welcome a luminous sign lighting up their nights, not to mention the proximity to a Latter-Day Saints church, which might not favor a brightly glowing neighbor either.

As it stands, details about Beyond the Spider-Verse remain scarce. We do know it picks up right where the tantalizing cliffhanger left off in the previous film and promises to steer clear of any artificial intelligence interference. For now, fans will need to exercise patience and wait for the trailer’s release to glimpse more. However, if you’re in New York, why not embark on a little adventure to check out the intriguing sign for yourself?
