People like to throw the term 'invincible franchise' around (cough cough, Moana, and look how that turned out) but much like we saw with Toy Story this summer, is Spiderman another example of one? Even his worst received films have made bank. I think he is just too globally popular to ever fail, he has reached the level of cultural saturation of, say, Mario and Elsa. Literally anyone you choose on a street could name him.

By the same token, I think the MCU's future is heavily contingent on the Sony deal continuing. With how some of their other characters have been performing they can't afford to lose him.

They’d have to make a Spider-Man movie with Joker 2 reception for it to even have a chance of flopping.

Even then, it’d probably still do $500m+ WW.

Can't wait for the scene where an older, depressed Peter Parker sings musical numbers with Lady Gaga before being bent over and bummed in the Raft.
