iPOP Alumni Jacob Batalon will soon be rejoining his web-slinging friend. Filming for Spider-Man 3 is currently underway, with Jacob and his fellow cast members have already received their scripts. The highly anticipated follow-up to the first and subsequent remake of the Marvel hit will begin filing in Atlanta. Sony Pictures announced a third Spider-Man film produced by Disney’s Marvel Studios last September.
Jacob will reprise his role as Ned Leeds, Peter Parker’s (aka Spider-Man’s) best friend in the latest feature. Jacob shared his reaction to the script in a recent social media post. The reaction, which was shared to his Instagram account, gave fans a clue that the film will have a number of surprises to expect. It was already under speculation that familiar faces from previous Spider-man films will be dropping into the newest film.
If filming stays on schedule, fans can likely expect a first look to arrive this December. Jacob is reportedly already on set in Atlanta, has also shared a since-deleted image of himself in character for the film. Spider-Man 3 will arrive on Dec. 17, 2021.
Jacob landed on his path to stardom after attending iPOP LA, the twice-annual event held in Los Angeles, CA. After landing a major role as Ned, Spider-Man’s best friend in the blockbuster feature, Jacob’s success has continued. Along with appearing in the Spider-man sequels, Jacob starred in an episode of Quibi’s ’50 States of Fright’ earlier this year.
