And can the superhero survive a Robert Downey Jr-less incarnation?



Nintendo is selling their IPs to Microsoft and this is true because:

Nope, he's not as big as any of those, certainly not Batman and Superman.

interesting how you pick Batman and Superman, I think Spiderman is the most popular amongst the three :v /ot

 

Imho it's not quite there yet but it's rising, Personally it's my 2nd favourite superhero but I think I'm kinda biased due to Robert Downey Jr. beeing my favourite actor... Imho the real test for the popularity of the character will be when Robet leavs the role, which imho is still too far in the future to worry about...

To those that grew up/are growing up in the period of the MCU, certainly.

Judging by boxoffice the answer is yes

Definitely. The MCU turned him into a marketing juggernaut.



bet: lost

Maybe not at Spiderman level, but he's getting there.

Iron Man isn't on that level just yet.

Spider-man is a FAR #1 in popularity.

Batman is #2

It's not just about the movies. It's the comics, merchandise, and movies combined that create the popularity level.

For every 3 items Batman sells, Spider-man sells 9.

Now, don't get me wrong, Iron-man is on the rise. But only time will tell if Ironman can get past spider-man. Marvel already tried pushing someone over Spider-man with Wolverine. But ever since 2014 Marvel seems to have stopped trying to push wolverine hard.

Honestly, Deadpool has a better shot than Ironman to become Marvel's most popular. Besides, Deadpool is the guy Marvel is trying to push now since they gave up on Wolverine. But honestly, Spider-man has generations of fans to the character's advantage. So anyone they try to push over Spider-man has a tough hill to climb
