Spider-Man fans attempt world record

Hundreds of Marvel fans dressed as Spider-Man gathered at New York Comic Con in an attempt to set a Guinness World Record for the largest gathering of people dressed as the superhero.

The event was organised by toy company Jazwares in collaboration with Disney Consumer Products.

However, organisers said the final number of participants fell just short of the existing record of 685 people.

The record was set by Sony Pictures Entertainment Malaysia in 2023 to celebrate the release of Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse. T he official count for the latest attempt has not yet been announced.
