TBH, normally, we would put a spoiler alert right about here. But considering that Spider-Man: No Way Home surpassed Avatar at the box office, it’s probably fair to say that almost everyone has seen a Spidey movie. Thanks to the final film in the current Spider-Man trilogy, the iconic series got the multiverse treatment and some familiar faces are now officially a part of the MCU canon. But given how amazing each iteration of Spider-Man has been over the years, you should watch them all anyway.
In fact, you actually can watch it on the big screen again because Sony just announced that all the Spider-Man movies are coming back in theaters for Spider Mondays starting on April 15.
Of course, there are other new titles like Venom and Morbius and, yes, even non–Peter Parker Spider-Men who have jumped into the mix…so it’s safe to say you probably need a little help in figuring out what to watch and in what order. Don’t worry, we’ve got you covered!
Here’s the best way to watch the Spider-Man movies in order.
Spider-Man (2002)
Starring Tobey McGuire and Kirsten Dunst, Sam Raimi’s Spider-Man is the movie that started it all. It’s not the first time that a live-action Spidey was seen onscreen, but it did help kick-start a phenomenon and it became one of the inspirations for the entire Marvel Cinematic Universe. Without this, we wouldn’t have all the superheroes we have now (or Willem Dafoe as the Green Goblin).
Spider-Man 2 (2004)
Two words: Alfred. Molina. The actor brought to life one of the biggest Spider-Man villains of all time when he stepped into the shoes metal tentacles of Dr. Otto Octavius, aka Doc Ock. And in a rare move, the sequel has long been considered better than its predecessor, showing that Spider-Man can break through the sophomore slump.
Spider-Man 3 (2007)
Is it as great as the previous two films? No. But did it still set a standard for Spider-Man? Absolutely. In Spider-Man 3, audiences got to see a darker side of the iconic hero thanks to the introduction of Venom. Everything we knew about Peter Parker was thrown out the window. And while there were a lot of ridiculous moments—like that one meme-able dance scene—it was still a great send-off for Tobey McGuire’s Spider-Man.
The Amazing Spider-Man (2012)
While fans were hoping for a fourth Raimi film, Sony decided to take things in a whole other direction by rebooting the series with Andrew Garfield behind the mask and Marc Webb behind the camera as director. While the decision was controversial at the time (and Andrew had to deal with his fair share of haters), fans are singing a different tune now as they’ve grown appreciation for this Peter Parker and his love interest Gwen Stacy (Emma Stone).
The Amazing Spider-Man 2 (2014)
While Jamie Foxx’s Electro wasn’t exactly what fans were expecting, TASM 2 packed more of an emotional punch in Peter’s journey thanks to one big scene involving him and Gwen. It was the big moment fans of Andrew Garfield were waiting for, and it was referenced in Spider-Man: No Way Home. Unfortunately, Andrew never got to complete his trilogy, but with a newfound love surrounding his Spidey, there’s a chance we’ll see more of him in the future.
Captain America: Civil War (2016)
While Andrew Garfield’s Spider-Man was originally set to join the MCU, Sony and Marvel went in a totally different direction and decided to reboot the series yet again. But before fans got to see Tom Holland in his own headlining film, they meet him in the Captain America sequel that saw two of the biggest heroes in the series fighting head-to-head.
Spider-Man: Homecoming (2017)
And we finally have our Peter-One! Even though he wasn’t the first Spider-Man to grace the big screen, Tom Holland still managed to steal hearts by playing a young Peter struggling to manage his new powers and his regular school life. And with an enemy like the Vulture, played by Michael Keaton, you can’t look away.
Bonus: What If…? Season 1, Episode 5
In an alternative universe, this episode of the Disney+ series What If…? shows us what would happen if half of the Avengers became zombies. It takes place between Ant-Man and the Wasp and Avengers: Infinity War, so feel free to watch now if you’re looking for something different. Plus, a new animated series based on the episode is currently in development, so there’s a chance we’ll see more of this timeline in the future.
Avengers: Infinity War (2018)
Just when Peter thought he had a handle on things, everything got more complicated thanks to a brand-new foe: Thanos. Working together with the Avengers, Tom’s Peter finally became part of the team. But the movie’s finale, which involves one of the biggest emotional moments in the MCU between Peter and Tony, is still considered a memorable scene for Marvel fans everywhere.
Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse (2018)
If you’re a true Spider-Man fan, then you know there are other Spideys out there. After many attempts, fans finally got to see Miles Morales take up the mantle in this Oscar-winning film that brings a new hero to the big screen. It’s also the first to use the concept of the multiverse, and two sequels along with a spin-off film are already in the works.
Venom (2018)
After seeing what a huge success Spider-Man became, Sony decided to create its own Spidey-verse starting with Venom. Starring Tom Hardy, the film follows Eddie Brock, a journalist who suddenly finds himself with new abilities thanks to a symbiote known as Venom. This movie tells a completely different story than the one we’ve seen.
Avengers: Endgame (2019)
If you were one of the lucky millions who got to see this film in a theater surrounded by fellow Marvel fans, you already know that there isn’t a lot of Spider-Man in the movie. But the moment that he showed up, it was a BFD. Theatergoers cheered, screamed, and cried. But unfortunately, not long after that, everything changed for Peter.
Spider-Man: Far From Home (2019)
Left without his mentor and struggling to fit back in after being blipped for five years, Peter Parker tried to once again balance being Spider-Man and being a normal high school student while on the trip of a lifetime. But when a superhero named Mysterio, played by Jake Gyllenhaal, came and helped him face off against mysterious new creatures called the Elementals, he started to question how long this balancing act could work.
Venom: Let There Be Carnage (2021)
Just when Brock thought his life couldn’t be more different now coexisting with Venom, a new and darker symbiote found a host. Brock and Venom had to find a way to work together to take down their foe. Like any film involving Marvel characters, you’re not going to want to miss the mid-credits scene on this one.
Spider-Man: No Way Home (2021)
It’s the movie that changed everything for Peter Parker. After his identity was exposed, Peter tried to fix everything with the help of Doctor Strange and a special spell. But when it all went wrong, Peter faced some new, yet familiar, villains. This movie is considered the end of the Tom Holland trilogy, but with rumors of more films on the way, we’re crossing our fingers that it won’t be the last time we see him as Spidey on the big screen.
Morbius (2022)
After being delayed for two years, Jared Leto is finally joining in on the Marvel fun as Dr. Michael Morbius. Morbius is a doctor who, on his path to find a cure for his own disease, suddenly found himself with new powers and the need to drink blood. If you watch the trailer, you’ll see Michael Keaton return as the Vulture, but whether or not he plays a big role is still up in the air, as the movie won’t be released until April 1, 2022.
Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse (2023)
Miles Morales is back and this time he's teaming up with some familiar and new faces to help take down a new foe, the Spot, who seems to have it out for him. But just because someone is a fellow Spider-Person, does this mean that Miles can trust them? You're going to have to watch to find out!
Madame Web (2024)
She may not have mentioned her mom being in the Amazon when she was researching spiders, but Madame Web did introduce Cassaandra Webb into the Spider-Verse. Her psychic abilities connects her with Julia Cornwall, Anya Corazon, and Mattie Franklin, who are all destined to become Spider-Woman. And when one guy tries to take them all down, they have to team up to prevent him from stopping their future.
