Cineplex Employee Creates Viral 'Spoderman' Poster After Official One Doesn't Arrive

An employee at a Cineplex theater in Prince George, British Columbia, created a viral poster for Spider-Man: Brand New Day after the theater failed to receive an official one. The film has become the highest-grossing domestic release since Avengers: Endgame.

Employee's Creative Solution Goes Viral

Famous Players 6, a Cineplex theatre in Prince George, B.C., Canada, didn't receive the official poster. Instead of leaving a blank space, an employee drew their own poster depicting the popular 'Spoderman' meme – a crude drawing of Spider-Man originating from Dolan comics. The poster includes the message, “Sorry! We never received the real posters! Sorry for any inconveniences!”

Social Media Praise and Potential Recognition

The artwork has gone viral on social media, with commenters praising the employee's hand-drawn creation over AI-generated alternatives. One user suggested Marvel turn the poster into an official one for the Blu-ray release. A Canadian radio station, 101.3 The River, posted about the drawing on Facebook, and a user claiming to be the artist's mother identified them as 'Drake' (not the rapper).

The employee's creation has become a local attraction, with people stopping to take pictures with it.
