Leaving aside a daring ending that is generating quite opposite reactions, there is no doubt that ‘Spider-Man: Crossing the Multiverse’ is one of the hits of the year. Commercially and also from critics, she has sung loudly the virtues of a visual and meta-referential prodigy that could even captivate the industry and be placed in the award race beyond the niche of the animation category.

In the summer of last year we found out that Embracer Group had snapped up the rights to ‘The Lord of the Rings’ and ‘The Hobbit’ in a multi-million dollar deal that some estimated could have cost a whopping $2 billion.
