Terrence Stephen "Steve" McQueen (March 24, 1930 – November 7, 1980) was an American actor. His antihero persona, emphasized during the height of the counterculture of the 1960s, made him a top box-office draw for his films of the late 1950s, 1960s, and 1970s. He was nicknamed the "King of Cool" and used the alias Harvey Mushman in motor races. McQueen received an Academy Award nomination for his role in The Sand Pebbles (1966). His other popular films include Love With the Proper Stranger (1963), The Cincinnati Kid (1965), Nevada Smith (1966), The Thomas Crown Affair (1968), Bullitt (1968), Le Mans (1971), The Getaway (1972), and Papillon (1973). In addition, he starred in the all-star ensemble films The Magnificent Seven (1960), The Great Escape (1963), and The Towering Inferno (1974). In 1974, McQueen became the highest-paid movie star in the world, although he did not act in film for another four years. He was combative with directors and producers, but his popularity placed him in high demand and enabled him to command the largest salaries.

Set in a stylized 1960s New York, this reimagined Marvel Universe introduces a young, brilliant, and socially awkward Peter Parker as he becomes Spider-Man after a scientific accident changes his life forever. As Peter struggles to balance responsibility, guilt, and heroism, powerful and psychologically complex villains emerge, led by industrialist Norman Osborn, whose transformation into the Green Goblin threatens the city from the shadows. At the same time, New York becomes a battleground for darker heroes: Daredevil wages a secret war against crime in Hell’s Kitchen, the Punisher delivers brutal street justice, and criminal masterminds like Kingpin manipulate the city from behind the scenes. As science, crime, and tragedy collide, heroes and anti-heroes cross paths, setting the foundation for an interconnected Marvel Universe decades ahead of its time.
