Marvel ignores calls to sue White House over Spider-Man propaganda
The White House is facing backlash for using Spider-Man as an ICE agent
A large number of people have urged Marvel to sue the White House for using Spider-Man for propaganda.
Fans expressed outrage after the White House’s Instagram account recently shared a post featuring Spider-Man as an ICE agent.
The first photo in the White House’s carousel post shows a web slinging out of Spider-Man’s hand. The next two only show the web, before the last picture features a line of people caught in the web.
“Criminal illegal aliens will be caught and deported,” reads the text on the last photo.
The post was shared with the caption: “Your friendly neighborhood ICE agents.”
Commenting on the post a user wrote, “They need to sue you for this.”
Mentioning Marvel in the comments, one user wrote, “Please sue the s*** out of them.”
“This is unacceptable. sue please,” wrote another.
Most of the superhero fans lashed out at the White House and the Trump administration, saying Spider-Man will never support the post.
However, Marvel Studios has not commented on the White House’s use of Spider-Man.
It came days after the latest Spider-Man movie set an all-time record at the US and Canadian movie box.
