Spider-Man has always been a huge part of pop culture, but in recent years, there has been a massive influx of content being made about the character. Between the release of “Spider-Man: No Way Home” and “Spider-Man: Across The Spider Verse” along with the recent second installment of the Spider-Man game series by Insomniac Games, it’s safe to say that Spider-Man is making a bit of a comeback.
One of the most consistent reasons Spider-Man has stayed so relevant is the wide reach the character has across age demographics, with both kids and adults taking interest in Spider-Man and his many iterations.
“They just want to make money, and when both kids and adults see the movies they make more,” sophomore Alex Rudolphi said.
There also seems to be a correlation with Disney bringing back previous actors and characters to make cameos in new properties, and the success financially and critically of these movies.
“The hype around returning actors and characters from the original comics I feel have definitely helped them with wanting to profit on the popularity,” sophomore Leo Swaney said.
