While many of Spider-Man: Homecoming‘s promotional materials were embraced by fans, few have been able to forget the rather busy theatrical poster that was released back in May. The poster sparked both serious analysis and a whole lot of Photoshopping – the later of which has had some unintended consequences.

Reddit user Q_Q-Reddit recently shared a photo of an advertisement for Homecoming in the The Himalayan Times, a popular Nepalese newspaper. The only problem? The poster the advertisement used was one of the many Photoshopped parody posters – in this case, one featuring Batman and Donald Trump.
The parody poster is courtesy of artist Mike Mitchell, who first shared his take on the crowded poster back in May.

The mix up can also be seen on The Himalayan Times’ electronic paper, which you can find here. While it’s unclear whether or not the Homecoming poster was ironically placed in the advertisement, the end result is pretty amusing.
This also isn’t the first time a fan-made Marvel Cinematic Universe poster has been used in this way. Back in 2013, a Chinese theater accidentally displayed a Photoshopped Thor: The Dark World poster that depicted Thor and Loki in a tender embrace.
Spider-Man: Homecoming currently enjoys a 4.12 out of 5 on ComicBook.com’s anticipation rankings.
