Spider-Man Box Office Beats Avengers, Proves Solo Power
The new Spider-Man movie has swung past the Avengers at the box office, according to ScreenRant. Spider-Man: Brand New Day has reportedly crossed the $2 billion mark, making it the web-slinger's highest-grossing film ever.
This milestone means Brand New Day, along with its predecessor Spider-Man: No Way Home, have now out-earned every Avengers movie except for Infinity War and Endgame, per the outlet. Notably, Spider-Man is a character in those two top-grossing Avengers films.
The report highlights that every Avengers movie without Spider-Man has grossed less than these two solo Spider-Man films. ScreenRant argues this isn't a fluke, but proof of the character's immense popularity and the strength of his current story in the MCU.
The outlet suggests these box office numbers position Spider-Man as a central figure who could help tie the sprawling franchise together. It also points to the post-credits scene in Brand New Day potentially setting up the hero's appearance in the upcoming Avengers: Secret Wars.
