Latest Marvel News: Sony’s $50 million payday proves the Spider-Verse is supreme but Tom Holland still threatens to swing out on Spider-Man

Congratulations, Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse! Unlike so many other movies out there, Sony’s super-successful animated sequel has managed to follow up positive reviews with a wildly successful opening at the box office that’s seeing it swing far ahead from both the MCU and the DCU. Elsewhere, one of the Marvel universe’s founding Avengers surprises fans by revealing they’re up for a return, even as their own protege calls for the next generation of heroes to grab the spotlight.

Projections were already looking good, but Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse ended up smashing expectations by landing a hefty $51.7 million on its first day in theaters, which makes it officially the biggest opening day of any movie released this year, beating even fellow superhero hit Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 and obviously zipping past flops like Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania and Shazam! Fury of the Gods. We’ll have to see if The Flash can top it in a couple of weeks, but it certainly looks like it’ll be hard to dislodge the sequel from its pedestal as 2023’s most all-round successful comic book film.
