Spider-Man stunt atop Dubai Frame draws crowds in UAE

A professional stunt performer dressed as Spider-Man scaled the 150‑metre‑tall Dubai Frame in Zabeel Park on Saturday, August 1, 2026. The live stunt, organized by VOX Cinemas to promote the release of *Spider‑Man: Brand New Day* in the United Arab Emirates, featured the performer climbing and then abseiling down the landmark while recreating the hero’s web‑shooting pose for cheering spectators.

The event was free after online registration and attracted thousands of on‑site viewers who recorded the descent on their phones. After the climb, a synchronized drone show illuminated the sky with Spider‑Man’s mask, a giant web and the film’s title, followed by a brief appearance of the Hulk. The stunt coincided with the film’s UAE cinema debut on July 30, starring Tom Holland as Peter Parker and featuring Mark Ruffalo as the Hulk.
