Footage from Spider-Man: Beyond the Spider-Verse has leaked, and Chris Miller is speaking out about it.

Four-and-a-half minutes of footage from the upcoming third film in the animated Spider-Verse franchise appeared in a recent unauthorized leak online. Its co-writer and producer Miller took to X to disavow the leak in a post Friday.

“Not a fan of leaks of unfinished, not fully rendered footage,” Miller wrote.

Spider-Man: Beyond the Spider-Verse is scheduled to arrive in theaters on June 18, 2027. It has been delayed multiple times already.

It’s unclear where this leaked footage came from, however, Sony showed off footage from the film at CinemaCon back in April.

The film continues the story of Miles Morales’ journey as the webslinging superhero after 2018’s Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse and its 2023 sequel Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse.

Phil Lord and Miller produce the movie and co-wrote it with David Callaham. Directors Justin K. Thompson and Bob Persichetti are also producers.

Shameik Moore stars once again as the voice of Miles Morales in Spider-Man: Beyond the Spider-Verse while Hailee Steinfeld reprises her role as Spider-Gwen.

All That stars are remembering their late castmate Christy Knowings, who died this week in California at the age of 46.

Knowings’ father, Charles Dunn, confirmed his daughter’s death to ABC News on Friday.

Knowings starred on All That, Nickelodeon’s long-running sketch comedy show, for three seasons from 1997 through 2000, appearing alongside co-stars Lori Beth Denberg, Kenan Thompson, Kel Mitchell, Amanda Bynes, Josh Server and Nick Cannon.

Thompson paid tribute to Knowings in an Instagram post Thursday.

“Man this one hit hard!!! Rest well Christy!!! Never could have imagined this day!!” Thompson wrote in part in the post’s caption, alongside a photo of Knowings. “Sending so much love to her family!! She was a real one and one of the funniest people out here!!! Gonna miss you buddy!!!”

Mitchell called his late co-star “truly one of a kind” in an Instagram post that included video highlights of her comedic performances.

“So naturally funny, incredibly talented, and fearless when it came to comedy,” Mitchell wrote in the caption. “She had a gift for creating characters that were big, memorable, and completely her own. I’ll always be grateful for the laughs, the memories, and the time we shared as part of the All That family.”

“Christy, thank you for sharing your incredible gift with all of us,” he added. “Your talent, your characters, and the joy you brought to so many will never be forgotten. Sending my love and deepest condolences to Christy’s family and loved ones. Rest in Heaven, @christyknowings.”

Al Hill, a manager for Knowings, described her as a consummate creative force in a statement to ABC News.

Spider-Man: Brand New Day is continuing to break records.

The Sony Pictures film is now the fastest movie to make $700 million at the domestic box office. It reached $704.5 million on Wednesday, according to numbers from the studio.

It currently stands at #6 on the all-time North American box office chart, meaning it swung past Black Panther‘s sum of $700 million to get there. The next title it could pass is Top Gun: Maverick, which earned a sum of $718 million domestically.

Additionally, the film has earned over $1.108 billion internationally, making it Sony Pictures’ biggest film of all time overseas. It surpassed Spider-Man: No Way Home‘s total of $1.106 billion to get to that spot. It’s also now the 10th highest-grossing film ever internationally.

Brand New Day opened in theaters on July 31. Its box office run continues with its upcoming third weekend on the horizon.

Tom Holland stars as the titular webslinger in the movie. Zendaya and Jacob Batalon also return in this fourth film in the franchise, which is directed by Destin Daniel Cretton.

Sadie Sink joins the universe alongside Tramell Tillman and Liza Colón-Zayas. Marvel mainstays who also appear in the movie are Florence Pugh as Yelena Belova/Black Widow, Jon Bernthal as Frank Castle/The Punisher, Mark Ruffalo as Bruce Banner/The Hulk and Marisa Tomei as May Parker.

The film follows Peter Parker as he fights full time as Spider-Man in a world who doesn’t remember who he is. As he sees his old friends move on without him, Peter sparks a change “he may not have the power to control,” according to an official description. “But that transformation might also be the only thing that can stop a shocking new threat to the city and those he loves — a powerful villain no one can even see. The world may have forgotten Peter Parker, but he hasn’t forgotten them.”

Nick Reiner has been indicted on charges alleging he murdered his parents, renowned director Rob Reiner and his wife Michele Reiner, by means of lying in wait, prosecutors announced Wednesday.

The indictment, which was returned on July 20 and unsealed Wednesday, charges Nick Reiner with two counts of murder with the special circumstance allegations of multiple murders and murder by means of lying in wait, according to the Los Angeles County District Attorney’s Office. Nick Reiner also faces a special allegation that he used a dangerous and deadly weapon, a knife, the office said.

Nick Reiner, 32, pleaded not guilty to the indictment on Wednesday. He remains held on no bond and is next scheduled to appear in court for a pretrial hearing on Sept. 15.

Rob Reiner and Michele Reiner were found stabbed to death in their Brentwood home on Dec. 14, 2025. The night before their deaths, Nick Reiner — who had been living on his parents’ property at the time — got into an argument with Rob Reiner at a holiday party and was seen acting strangely, sources told ABC News in December.

Nick Reiner was arrested and initially charged with two counts of murder with the special circumstance allegation of multiple murders, as well as faced a special allegation that he used a dangerous and deadly weapon.

The indictment, which added a special allegation of lying in wait, means the case will no longer have a preliminary hearing that had been scheduled to occur in the coming weeks.
