“Welcome To India, Spider-Man” Trends On X

One poster reads, “Akkha Mumbai ek taraf. Spider-Man Parel mein… ek taraf. Samajh mein aaya kya?”

Another proudly declares, “Tom Holland jahan, Spider-Man wahan.”

A third references Shah Rukh Khan’s iconic dialogue with the line, “Spider-Man. Naam toh suna hoga.”

A poster, by Dadar’s Spider-Man, says, “Mumbai is all set and caught in Spidey’s web!”

And this is not it. Several parody videos are also doing the rounds on social media. One humorous clip shows Spider-Man being carried through Mumbai before being tossed into waterlogged streets, poking fun at the city’s monsoon flooding. 

Another imagines what Spider-Man’s life would look like if the superhero franchise were set in Mumbai, complete with desi humour and local references.
