History

Historical Context

The 2002 release of Sam Raimi’s *Spider-Man*, which earned $825 million worldwide and launched the modern blockbuster superhero model, led Sony to secure film rights and later partner with Marvel Studios in 2015. That alliance enabled Tom Holland’s MCU Spider-Man, and the upcoming 2026 *Brand New Day* sequel continues the multiverse strategy begun with Doctor Strange’s spell.
