MEGA/GC Images/Getty Images Without adjusting for inflation, 17 superhero movies have made at least $1 billion at the box office.

Using data from Box Office Mojo , we compiled the highest-grossing superhero movies worldwide.

"Spider-Man: Brand New Day" became the latest addition to this list in August 2026.

Did someone say " superhero fatigue "? Because after the record-breaking smash success of "Spider-Man: Brand New Day," we don't see any signs of audiences giving up on comic books just yet.

Since " The Dark Knight " became the first billion-dollar grosser to star a hero wearing a mask and tights, it's been a steady stream of caped crusaders, super-powered beings, and web-slinging spider-men.

However, it's still no easy feat to make seven figures at the box office.

As Marvel and DC have seen over the last seven years since " Avengers: Endgame ," audiences won't show up for just anything that's ripped from the pages.

But "Brand New Day" proved that some masked vigilantes still have the juice.

It made $1 billion in six days — and $2 billion in 19 days — proving that your friendly neighborhood Spider-Man has worldwide appeal.

Here are all 17 superhero movies to cross the billion-dollar threshold.
