Then again, maybe people are just hungry for the next big fantasy epic....

Among the various professions that exist, female prostitution is one of the most socially scorned yet entertainingly fascinating. While women (or men) give their bodies away to whoever pays them, there is a certain liberation and power they wield at the moment. This is part of what makes shows like Harlots interesting, which examines the social influence of 18th-century brothels while telling the dramatic story of women trying to be independent....

Spidey will be featured in another MCU solo movie and one further installment, but after that, he might need to depart once and for all....
