Abstract
On the wave of a great digital revolution, virtual reality enables immersive experience in cyberspace via various devices, gliding virtual worlds in a dynamic multiverse. To what extent can a film focused on the multiverse be linked to the perceptions of the Metaverse among Portuguese adults? And, more: Are there significant differences between men's and Women's perceptions? In this context, we aim to verify the representations of the Metaverse of each gender and verify the importance of a film (related to the Metaverse and the multiverse) on these representations. Embracing technological advancements is crucial for societal progress, with films playing a significant role in conveying complex concepts and fostering acceptance through immersive storytelling and virtual reality. Fictional narratives, especially those enhanced by technology, can shape attitudes and beliefs, demonstrating the transformative potential of virtual reality and fiction. This study emphasises the relevance of gamers in understanding and engaging with the concepts of Metaverse and multiverse.
