Just weeks after "Supergirl" underperformed at the box office, the ninth live-action Spider-Man film since 2002 is expected to premiere with a projected global opening of as much as $465 million. Marlow Stern, chief correspondent at Variety, joins CBS News to discuss.

Peter Parker’s isolation lands especially hard in the age of AI, a loneliness crisis, and endless scrolling.
