<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">The TOEI version of <em>Spider-Man</em> is still being talked about every now and then (mostly in memes). For those who are waiting for the highly-anticipated sequel of the <em>Into the Spider-Verse</em> movie, it has been confirmed by its producer Phil Lord that the icon Japanese <em>Spider-Man</em> is confirmed to have an appearance in the sequel. </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">This has happened when <a href="https://twitter.com/ShannonTindle_1/status/1191507340362563585">a fan asked on Twitter</a> if the Japanese version of the well-loved superhero will be making an appearance in the film and Lord enthusiastically replied to the tweet that his part is already written and “He’s designed”.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">The <em>Spider-Man </em>live-action series produced by TOEI premiered during the 70s and ran for 40 episodes. What makes him quite different from all the adaptations of the popular <em>Marvel</em> superhero and got him a massive following is that his abilities and powers are similar to the <em>tokusatsu</em> heroes like the <em>Power Rangers</em> and <em>Kamen Rider</em>. During this era, <em>tokusatsu </em>is a quite a popular genre aside from anime and has a loyal following especially among kids and kids-at-heart.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><em><span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">Spider-Man: Into The Spider-Verse </span></em><span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">is a computer-animated superhero film that premiered in theaters on December 2018. The movie is a huge success that it gained an international box office gross of USD $375.5 million against its production budget of USD $90 million. The announcement of the sequel was confirmed last weekend and is slated <a href="https://twitter.com/SpiderVerse/status/1190373194374377472">to be released on April 8, 2022</a>.</span></p>
