if i use spiderman for a project is it a coypright violation and could i get sued.even if i dont release it or make money off of it?
in other words if i show off video of a spiderman project could i be in legal trouble?thanks

It is a "copyright" violation.

So the asnwer is "you can't use it".

Machinima alone is ok as proven by countless vids on youtube, but involving it in an actual game is a big no no

That depends on how lenient Marvel is with fan productions. I think they're reasonably cool with it so long as it's not obscene.

However fan works are by definition a non-commercial work of passion. Taking any kind of compensation for a project with already dubious copyright circumstances is a fast track to getting noticed and your ass legally handed to you.
