Though the success of the Marvel Cinematic Universe may have changed things, the most recent data on the subject suggests that Spider-Man is the most profitable superhero in the world.
Back in mid-July, the world got its first look at a brand new black and gold Spider-Man costume thanks to a barrage of toy reveals. Now some merchandising material for Spider-Man merchandise has emerged that takes things even further. While Spider-Man’s black and gold costume suggested a mingling of Peter Parker’s science and Doctor Strange’s (Benedict Cumberbatch) magic, these new images confirm them. Take a look below to see what we mean.
It’s to the MCU’s world-building credit that it is now able to pair one of its premier characters with a magical mentor after years spent with an engineer. It’s also to the MCU’s credit that it seems to be letting this partnership extend to its natural conclusion: with Spider-Man using some straight up magic.
