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.

Murder is at lowest rate since the 1950s. Trump touts it as a personal success.

By CNN
(CNN) — President Donald Trump, surrounded by his top law enforcement officials, touted Friday the significant drop in murder and other crimes following the FBI’s 2025 crime report.The murder rate is now at lows not seen since the 1950s, according to the agency’s report, following a downward trend since the numbers spiked in the 2020s, as the Covid pandemic took hold of the US.The trend is continuing in 2026, with murder, violent crime, and robbery rates continuing to drop in the first half of the year, according to data from the FBI and independent organizations.“I’m thrilled to announce that the FBI has just released a new Uniform Crime Report showing that in 2025 we achieved the single largest reduction in violent crime in American history,” Trump said at an event Friday on Long Island, New York. “Pretty amazing. And last year there were over 3,100 fewer murders than the year before I took office.”Trump and his officials, including FBI Director Kash Patel, have pointed to the administration’s efforts to surge federal resources to cities across the US and, in a refrain used often by Patel, letting “good cops be cops.”Others are less dogmatic about the cause of declining crime rates, which have been dropping since before Trump’s second term began.What has caused this welcomed decline in crime across the US is “as clear as a glass of milk,” Adam Gelb, the president of the nonpartisan think tank Council on Criminal Justice said in releasing its own report Thursday on 2025 crime rates.“The homicide drop is historic and crystal clear. But right now, what’s driving it is about as clear as a glass of milk,” Gelb said. “Rates are falling in cities with very different public safety strategies, economic conditions, and political leadership. The consistency across the map should make us cautious about handing credit to any one leader, party, policy, or program before the evidence catches up.”While no single cause can easily explain the decline across a country of over 340 million people, researchers at CCJ told CNN that a range of possible influences include changes in how criminal justice is enforced as well as societal and culture change and technological advances have likely all contributed to the decrease.Trump says his administration, including Patel and newly confirmed Attorney General Todd Blanche, are deserving of the credit.“Let’s say they don’t have good leadership, like Chicago has very bad leadership. But we have the numbers down because of what the federal government’s doing,” Trump said Friday. “They like to take all the credit, but everyone knows we’ve done an amazing job. The US attorneys and the FBI, all the people, Kash, and Todd has been unbelievable.”The-CNN-Wire™ & © 2026 Cable News Network, Inc., a Warner Bros. Discovery Company. All rights reserved.
