How excited are we for this news? VERY. Spider-Man has always been one of my favorite super-hero characters and seeing the early movies in 2003 was an exciting thing for me.
Tom Holland is officially returning to the Marvel Cinematic Universe to reprise his role as Spider-Man.
Following last year’s explosive reception to Spider-Man: No Way Home, which grossed over $1.9 billion at the box office, it’s safe to say that the Spider-Man Trilogy is definitely a winner among audiences – but how successful is the franchise as a whole?
According to a recent study by Betway, the Spider-Man Trilogy is the second most successful film franchise of all time – scoring and impressive 65.3 out of 90 in the study.
The superhero franchise has racked up a massive $8.3B (£7.1B) at the box office and the films have received a respectable overall IMDb rating of 7.3/10. The films have also won 184 awards, so it’s no surprise that superfans are searching for the movie titles 17,632,000 times.
