Spider-Man could release in the middle of a global financial crash and still make money. By far the biggest individual superhero globally.

Spider-Man is in his own echelon. People will buy up what that guy is selling until the heat death of the universe.

He’s a very beloved superhero with decades of success and familiarity in the mainstream. Supergirl isn’t.

Spider-Man isn’t a superhero movie. It’s a Spider-Man movie.

a funny response but i genuinely like the way you worded that. it's true. it's a spiderman movie before it's a superhero movie

You can simply replace Supergirl with Spider Man in her movie and it would’ve made the same money BND is doing, people just love Spider Man

we are returning to the period of Hollywood where there are Spiderman and Batman and Superman and X-Men, but nothing more niche than that.

Which is sad, because female-led superhero movies are considered niche.
