Want us to remember this setting for all your devices?
Ever since, the MCU has attempted to rekindle the spotlight, to varying results.
It’s safe to say the film conglomerate doesn’t draw the eyes it once did.
The first Spider-Man felt pretty topical in terms of movie tie-ins.
This includes Kingpin, too, thanks to the attention the character received in Netflix’s Daredevil.
From the outside, Spider-Man 2 seemed bound to follow similar steps, this time with a larger reach.
A thirdVenomfilm is set to release next year, alongside the introduction toKraven the Hunter.
Throughout the events of Spider-Man 2, the spotlight is shared across the larger cast of characters.
It’s hard to imagine the likes of Tombstone or Hammerhead getting a starring role before Scorpion or Rhino.
Spider-Man 2 is, like the entries that precede it, already trapped in a new cinematographic tidal wave.
Miles Morales is on the path toward hislive-action treatment.
Silk, teased in an after-credits scene, is also getting her movie.
