Ant-Man's top 10 neighbors span fictional characters, movie franchises, a video game franchise, and an actor — with no single dominant pull, but a remarkably high floor across all of them.
The shape is broad: scores run from 0.98 down to 0.93, a tight band with no spike and no gap. Four of the ten neighbors are Fictional Characters — Doctor Strange (0.98), Captain America (0.98), Iron Man (0.97), and Captain Marvel (0.94) — all from the same Marvel universe. Three more are Movie Franchises: The Avengers (0.96), X-Men Movies (0.95), and Guardians of the Galaxy (0.94). That's seven of ten neighbors drawn from superhero IP, which makes the cluster's character clear: this audience is defined by franchise fandom, not by Ant-Man specifically. The remaining three neighbors — Mortal Kombat 11 Ultimate (0.93), a Video Game Franchise, and Jeremy Renner (0.93), an Actor — sit just below the superhero cluster without breaking from it meaningfully. The Flash (0.92), a TV Show, rounds out the ten and extends the pattern into superhero television.
The cross-kind finding worth noting: Ant-Man is itself a Movie Franchise, yet four of its ten nearest neighbors are Fictional Characters rather than other franchises. The audience shape tracks character-level fandom as much as it tracks franchise-level fandom — a distinction the wider graph at positions 11–50 may sharpen further.
What the broad shape reveals is an audience that is deeply embedded in the superhero genre ecosystem, with overlap distributed evenly across its constituent parts rather than anchored to any single property.
