Spider-Man is currently dominating the global box office following the much-hyped release of new film No Way Home<\/a> \u2013 and now the Web-Slinger has also topped our poll to determine the most popular superhero in the MCU.<\/p>\n

Over the last month,\u00a0RadioTimes.com<\/a> readers have been voting for their favourite character, with four rounds producing two winners each ahead of the grand final.<\/p>\n

And the final round saw Spidey emerge as the comfortable overall winner: Tom Holland\u2019s portrayal of the beloved character earned 28% of the vote, after more than 7,000 votes were cast in total.<\/p>\n

His closest challengers were Iron-Man and Loki \u2013 who each managed 15% of the vote \u2013 while the Scarlet Witch came in fourth place with 11%.<\/p>\n

Perhaps surprisingly, Captain America fared less well, coming in fifth place with 10% of the vote, just ahead of Thor who scored 9%. And the final was rounded out by Doctor Strange and Black Widow, who scored 7% and 5% respectively.<\/p>\n

In total, 32 different characters appeared in the poll, with the likes of Captain Marvel, The Hulk and Black Panther all being eliminated before the final round.<\/p>

Spider-Man\u2019s eventual victory doesn\u2019t come as too much of a surprise \u2013 the character has always been an immensely beloved one, and the release of No Way Home will only have further increased his popularity further.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, there has been lots of speculation regarding whether Holland will return to play Spidey in further MCU films, with some reports suggesting that he has already signed on for another trilogy \u2013 and if RadioTimes.com<\/strong> readers have their way, he will definitely be back for more.<\/p>\n

In a separate poll, some 85 percent of Spider-Man fans<\/a> said that they wanted him to return \u2013 although Holland himself has suggested he\u2019s\u00a0\u201cready to say goodbye\u201d<\/a> to the character.<\/p>\n
