Is Spider-Man: Lotus an official movie?
One of the most common doubts that is coming to the mind of fans is about the authenticity of this movie. It is certain that Spider-Man: Lotus is not an official movie from Marvel, Sony, or Disney. According to Konop’s YouTube page, it is a completely independent and non-profit movie by the fans.
The movie Spider-Man: Lotus shows the aftermath of Gwen Stacy’s death and how Peter Parker still gets haunted by the incident.
