Spiderman was introduced by Stan Lee and Steve Ditko in 1962, some 58 years ago. Spiderman first appeared in Marvel Comics. An orphan boy Peter Parker (15-16 years old) stays with Uncle Ben and Aunt May. He was sharp and struggler. Once a radioactive spider bites him in the lab. A series of events follow. Peter’s transformation into Spiderman and the complexity of his life is the story of Spiderman.

Three different actors enacted Spiderman in the last 17 years. He is a popular superhero.

It is to be noted that the target audience of the comics was school-going teenagers. In the comics, there were no characters who can appeal this age group. Spiderman was the first character in alignment with this target audience. As Spiderman he maintains the law and order by capturing criminals, while as Peter he is supposed to come back home before 7 in the evening. It is a tight-rope Walk. It makes him appealing.

The recent Spiderman movie is Far from Home. However, in this movie, the audience has not established that emotional connect with him which they had established in the previous movies. Marvel had sold Spiderman rights to Sony Pictures in 1990, except the comic rights. Sony revived Spiderman to take advantage of the success of superhero movies. The present Spiderman is contemporary. In the previous versions, he was worried about the world. Here he says, ‘There are Avengers to save the world.’ He is content with his schooling and young life. This version has been brought by Marvel Cinematic Universe. Of course, he has created a new audience too for himself.
