What Are The Order Of The Spider-man Movies

Alright, Spider-Man fans (and soon-to-be fans!), ever get tangled in the web of Spider-Man movies? Don't worry, it happens to the best of us. There's been quite a few, with different actors and slightly different takes on the classic story. Let's untangle this sticky situation!

The OG: Sam Raimi's Trilogy (2002-2007)

First up, we have the Tobey Maguire era. This is where a lot of us first swung into action with Spidey! Think early 2000s, iconic music, and Willem Dafoe's Green Goblin cackling in our nightmares (or maybe that was just me?).

The order here is simple: Spider-Man (2002), Spider-Man 2 (2004), and Spider-Man 3 (2007). Spider-Man 2 is often considered the best, with its amazing Doc Ock fight scenes.

Spider-Man 3? Well, it tried to cram in too many villains, resulting in a bit of a messy ending for the trilogy. Still, it's got its moments, like Emo Peter Parker! Let's not forget the dance.

The Amazing Spider-Man (2012-2014)

Next, we have the Andrew Garfield years, known as The Amazing Spider-Man. This series aimed for a grittier, more grounded take on Peter Parker. Also, lots and lots of skateboarding!

The order here is: The Amazing Spider-Man (2012) and The Amazing Spider-Man 2 (2014). Andrew Garfield's Spider-Man is known for his wit and his incredible chemistry with Emma Stone as Gwen Stacy.

Sadly, this series was cut short, leaving fans wondering what could have been. Imagine a "Sinister Six" movie with Andrew Garfield! The heart wants what it can't have.

The Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) Spider-Man (2017-Present)

Now, we enter the Tom Holland era, and things get really exciting! This Spider-Man is fully integrated into the massive Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU). Get ready for superhero team-ups!

The order is: Spider-Man: Homecoming (2017), Spider-Man: Far From Home (2019), and Spider-Man: No Way Home (2021). Plus, don't forget his appearances in Captain America: Civil War, Avengers: Infinity War, and Avengers: Endgame. He's a busy guy!

This version of Peter Parker is younger, more naive, and mentored by Iron Man. No Way Home is particularly special because it brings together all three Spider-Men!

So, What's the Best Way to Watch?

That's the million-dollar question! Chronologically by release date is always a solid option. You could start with Spider-Man (2002) and work your way through.

Or, you could watch each actor's trilogy/duology separately. Watch all the Tobey Maguire movies, then all the Andrew Garfield movies, then all the Tom Holland movies. This helps keep the storylines and tones distinct.

Ultimately, the best way is the way you'll enjoy the most! Each series has its own charm and appeal. Just have fun with it and embrace your inner Spider-Fan!

Bonus: Don't Forget Into the Spider-Verse!

While not technically part of the live-action movie order, Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse (2018) and Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse (2023) are animated masterpieces! They introduce us to a whole multiverse of Spider-People!

These movies are visually stunning and emotionally resonant. Miles Morales is an awesome Spider-Man. Seriously, watch them! You won't regret it!

So, there you have it! Now you're armed with the knowledge to navigate the web of Spider-Man movies. Go forth and swing into action!
