Every Spider-Man Movie Across Every Actor, in Order

In short: Nine solo Spider-Man films across three actors: Tobey Maguire (2002-2007), Andrew Garfield (2012-2014) and Tom Holland (2017-2026). Watch each era in order; all three meet in No Way Home (2021). Holland's Spider-Man: Brand New Day (July 31, 2026) became the highest-grossing Spider-Man film, at about $2.5 billion. The animated Spider-Verse films are a separate, excellent series.

The Tobey Maguire era

  1. Spider-Man (2002)
  2. Spider-Man 2 (2004): often ranked among the best superhero films ever.
  3. Spider-Man 3 (2007)

Sam Raimi's earnest, comic-book trilogy, with Kirsten Dunst as Mary Jane and Willem Dafoe and Alfred Molina as villains.

The Andrew Garfield era

  1. The Amazing Spider-Man (2012)
  2. The Amazing Spider-Man 2 (2014)

Marc Webb's reboot, with Emma Stone as Gwen Stacy. Garfield's chemistry with Stone is the highlight; the series ended after the second film.

  2. Spider-Man: Homecoming (2017)
  3. Avengers: Infinity War (2018) and Endgame (2019)
  4. Spider-Man: Far From Home (2019)
  5. Spider-Man: No Way Home (2021): all three Spider-Men together.
  6. Spider-Man: Brand New Day (2026): directed by Destin Daniel Cretton, with Zendaya returning.

Brand New Day

After No Way Home erased everyone's memory of Peter Parker, Brand New Day starts a new chapter for a Spider-Man working alone. It opened on July 31, 2026, set a record for Thursday-night previews, scored about 91% on Rotten Tomatoes and grossed around $2.5 billion, making it the highest-grossing Spider-Man film. It's described as the start of a new Holland trilogy.

The Spider-Verse films

Into the Spider-Verse (2018), which won the Oscar for Animated Feature, and Across the Spider-Verse (2023) follow Miles Morales. They're a separate continuity and stand alone; the trilogy's final film, Beyond the Spider-Verse, is still to come.
