A viral TikTok sees Spider-Man‘s animatronic double hilariously malfunction and swing into a wall at Disney’s Avengers Campus – but it’s CGI. Spider-Man is becoming increasingly popular amongst Marvel fans as the web-slinger’s latest movie, Spider-Man: No Way Home, continues to make mega-money during its theatrical run. The Tom Holland-led Spider-Man: No Way Home has managed to make over $1.6 billion at the box office worldwide so far, topping movies both pre- and post-pandemic, proving that Spider-Man truly is one of the world’s favorite heroes.

Given Spider-Man’s popularity, it’s no wonder that Disneyland is eager to give guests the experience of witnessing some of Spidey’s quips and tricks in real life. Avengers Campus, located at Disneyland in California, is the ideal place for fans of the hero to catch Spider-Man and his Avengers co-workers. Fans can expect to see a performance full of stunts and tricks, and even catch the Marvel hero as he is soaring through the sky on his famous webs.

SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY

In a video created by Alain Buii, the Spider-Man robot is seen launching from his web before diving head-first into a nearby building. After not sticking the landing, the animatronic falls out of sight onto a neighboring roof. In a comment on TikTok, however, Buii confirmed the video was created with CGI, and said he’ll be posting a breakdown of the VFX to show how he created the image. Watch the video below:

The Spider-Man robot at Avengers Campus actually quite impressive. Designed specifically for stunt use, animatronic Spidey is able to do flips and other poses as he swings through the sky. Whilst there is a real person in the Spider-Man suit for most of the performance, the animatronic is used to do particularly dangerous stunts to keep actors safe, though the life-like movement it is capable of makes the transition between the real and fake web-slingers almost seamless.

With any technology, there is always the risk that something may go wrong, though in this case it wasn’t a malfunction, just Buii’s technical wizardry. As he notes in his TikTok comment, “Please don’t come after me, Disney,” he acknowledges the video doesn’t paint Disney Parks in the best light. However, in this case, Disney’s Spider-Man robot is functioning as it should, and Buii added the mishap to hilarious effect. Those attending Disneyland should expect to see stunt performers and the amazing spectacle of Spider-Man swinging through the sky as planned, while fans of Buii’s TikTok can look forward to his VFX breakdown explaining how he created the CGI mishap.
