There aren't a lot of theatre "franchises." A play is a discrete thing, that takes place in the moment. Your experience will hinge on what actors were involved but the next time it shows, it's a different experience.Telling long term stories, across dozens of films, takes a little continuity to help with the immersion. it doesn't really matter if there have been 4 Spider-Men, because each was telling a different string of stories. There were 4 Hulks but that didn't matter, with the separation of time, space, and stories. When they had an ongoing storyline, they kept the same actor.</blockquote>
