"Across The Spiderverse" was made by Sony Animation and released in cinemas this year. This film has only recently been released on rental through Amazon; however, even with the time it was within the cinema, it had gained a large following. According to Box Office Mojo, "Across the Spiderverse" made $380,718,189 domestically. The film was released in December of 2018, with most countries, such as the United Kingdom, having the film released on the 12th of December, as stated by IMDB. When the first film was released, it set a standard for the industry in how 3D animation can be pushed to create a stylized look that had not been done before.

This shows how much audiences are looking for films similar to Spiderverse, and it shows that even with superhero fatigue setting in, it still shows that with the right stories and intriguing characters, there is no place where the superhero genre can’t survive under these conditions. People are no longer blown away by the spectacle that the Avengers once brought and are now expecting more from the genre. With DC creating its own cinematic universe, it will soon bring more competition and expectations for Marvel to do better within the genre.
