Spider-Man Wave 2 is almost definitely a movie wave. The movie may ultimately wind up being delayed, but as of right now it's still tentatively being eyed for a late 2021 release (the fact that it's a Sony movie and not Disney might also mean it'll keep its current spot even if Black Widow is pushed back and further delays Shang-Chi and Eternals). The figures are planned out well in advance so any tentative Spider-Man wave we're already hearing about would be taking that into account. Unless there is a secret third Spider-Man wave we haven't heard about.

As for the Top 10 list and the worries about the lack of non-X stuff, again while I sympathize, I think people are putting a bit too much emphasis on how much impact the list has. Like I said, at least some of these are almost definitely already planned (in fact in the last livestream they mentioned that sometimes the winners are characters that were already on the docket anyway), and we know they pay attention to board chatter. Just look at the New Warriors we've been slowly but surely getting. With the exception of Firestar they weren't setting the lists on fire (no pun intended) and have no media support, but that hasn't stopped Hasbro from digging in and releasing them. I mean, nobody was asking for Spymaster and most of the Serpent Society characters would also rank extremely low on a popularity poll, but that didn't stop Hasbro from making those either. And our first wave of 2021 kicked off with Stilt-Man and Frog-Man, of all people. Hell, we're supposedly getting Darkstar and Guardsman in the Iron Man wave this year, so it's not like these lower tier characters have no chance without a poll.
