10 Ways The Marvel Cinematic Universe Proves That Dreams Do Come True
9. We Finally Have Spidey Hanging With The Avengers
Marvel Studios
This pretty much goes without saying, but how frickin' cool is it that we now have Spider-Man chilling with The Avengers?
It's hard to think that, two years ago, Peter Parker's chances of gracing the MCU were minuscule - the wishful delusions of fans that thought somehow, someway, Sony and Marvel could negotiate a deal that would lead to the webbed wall-crawler cracking puns with the likes of Iron Man, Captain America, and Black Widow. But that's exactly what happened, and now we've already had Tom Holland's rendition of the friendly neighbourhood crimefighter introduced to the MCU, a key highlight of Civil War too.
While audiences will have to wait until next year for Spider-Man: Homecoming, the Russo Bros. offered us a tantalising glimpse of what's in store for Spidey. The sooner Parker pops back up, the better.
WhatCulture's very own resident movie guy, Ewan has been working in the content creation biz for over 10 years now, having started as a freelance contributor to WhatCulture Gaming all the way back in 2015. After graduating with a First-Class Honours in History from Northumbria University in 2017 (where he won a prize for a totally killer dissertation on the Watergate years), Ewan took on the role of Comics Editor at WhatCulture and quickly developed WhatCulture Comics into one of the biggest superhero-focused channels on YouTube. He followed this with a brief hiatus at Screen Rant in 2021, where he worked across the Gaming and Film sections as a writer and editor, before returning to WhatCulture as a Senior Content Producer / Presenter in 2023. He started his own podcast, We Love Dad Movies, in 2022, and has contributed several written pieces to the Eisner-nominated comics website Shelfdust as well.
In his current role, Ewan incorporates his love of cinema, comic books, and history into written pieces and video essays for WhatCulture's Film & TV channel, as well as WhatCulture Gaming and WhatCulture Horror, with a particular focus on nineties-era Dad Movies, old school Westerns, and Golden Age Hollywood Noir. John Carpenter is his fave, and he thinks Batman Beyond should never have been cancelled. If that's your vibe, you'll probably like his stuff.
