It’s safe to state that Spider-Man: Brand New Day is a hit – a big one. The ninth live-action, big-budget Spider-Man film, and the fourth starring Tom Holland as Marvel’s popular web-slinger, broke box-office records last weekend, earning $360 million domestically and surpassing Avengers: Endgame as the film with the highest-grossing opening weekend of all time.
As I type this, Brand New Day has made over a billion dollars worldwide and is set to make another billion before it leaves theaters. Even more impressive – people actually like it.
Brand New Day’s insane popularity has reignited interest in Spider-Man, particularly in the films the superhero has appeared in over the years.
Watch With Us has prepared a handy list of where you can stream all the major Spidey films, from an obscure Japanese import to the groundbreaking animated pictures featuring Peter Parker’s wall-crawling heir, Miles Morales.
‘Spider-Man’ (2002)
The first major live-action Spider-Man film (but not the first-ever movie featuring Spider-Man as a lead), Sam Raimi’s 2002 blockbuster cemented that Marvel superhero films were here to stay. Tobey Maguire stars as the titular hero and his nerdy alter ego, Peter Parker, while Kirsten Dunst plays his next-door neighbor and love interest, Mary Jane Watson. Also in the cast are James Franco as Peter’s rich friend, Harry Osborn, and Willem Dafoe as Harry’s dad, Norman, who also happens to be Spidey’s arch-nemesis, the Green Goblin.
Spider-Man is streaming on Netflix, Hulu and Disney+.
‘Spider-Man 2’ (2004)
Released just two years after the first, Spider-Man 2 is often considered the best Spider-Man film – and one of the best superhero movies of all time. This time around, Spidey has to battle with Doctor Octopus (Alfred Molina), while still trying to win MJ’s heart. Raimi is back in the director’s chair, as is Danny Elfman as the movie’s composer. Franco is there, too.

‘Spider-Man 3’ (2007)
Oof. Raimi had an extra year to cook with Spider-Man, but he put too many ingredients in this overstuffed superhero dish, resulting in one of the most awkward comic book sequels ever. Maguire’s Spidey battles three villains this time around: Sandman (Thomas Haden Church), Venom (Topher Grace!) and another Green Goblin (Franco’s Harry). Bryce Dallas Howard appears as Peter Parker’s other great love Gwen Stacy, but the movie is so packed, there’s just no room for her – or much fun, really.
Spider-Man 2 is streaming on Netflix, Hulu and Disney+.
‘The Amazing Spider-Man’ (2012)
After Raimi and Maguire left the franchise, the character got a slightly darker and grittier makeover in The Amazing Spider-Man. Andrew Garfield is the man behind the mask, and Emma Stone is Gwen Stacy, his high school friend he has a crush on. Rhys Ifans plays The Lizard, a scientist turned, well, lizard, who menaces NYC’s sewers.

‘The Amazing Spider-Man 2’ (2014)
This mediocre sequel is about as bad as Spider-Man 3. Peter Parker and Gwen Stacy are still going strong, but ol’ webhead has to face the two threats of Electro (Jamie Foxx) and a Temu version of Green Goblin (Dane DeHaan). The film did so poorly that it forced Sony to ditch Garfield and run to Marvel for creative help. Wise move.

‘Spider-Man: Homecoming’ (2017)
Debuting in 2016’s not-Avengers sequel Captain America: Civil War, Tom Holland’s Spider-Man headlined his first solo movie with Spider-Man: Homecoming. With help from Robert Downey Jr.’s Iron Man, Spidey finds his footing as NYC’s resident hero while still finding time to hang out with friends Michelle (Zendaya) and Ned (Jacob Batalon). Michael Keaton plays the movie’s villain, The Vulture.
Spider-Man: Homecoming is streaming on Disney+ and Netflix.
‘Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse’ (2018)
Spidey received his first full-length animated feature in 2018, and the results were amazing. Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse deservedly won an Oscar for Best Animated Film due to its dazzling visuals and engrossing story of a young Spider-Man, Miles Morales (Shameik Moore), being trained by an older one from another dimension, Peter Parker (Jake Johnson).

‘Spider-Man: Far From Home’ (2019)
Arriving again two years after the first film, Spider-Man: Far From Home is no Spider-Man 2, but it’s not The Amazing Spider-Man 2, either. Instead, it’s an entertaining hangout picture that does something no other Spidey film has done before – it takes the NYC hero out of his native habitat and places him in Europe on a school field trip that goes amusingly awry.
Jake Gyllenhaal’s Mysterio is the bad guy this time around, and J.K. Simmons reprises his J. Jonah Jameson role from the Tobey Maguire pictures.

‘Spider-Man: No Way Home’ (2021)
Released while the COVID-19 pandemic was still a thing, Spider-Man: No Way Home was such an event that it lured people back to movie theaters after a nearly two-year absence. There’s a good reason why – No Way Home brought together Tobey Maguire, Andrew Garfield and Tom Holland’s Spider-Men to battle their respective foes like Dafoe’s Green Goblin and Foxx’s Electro.

‘Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse’ (2023)
Due to the overwhelming success of Into the Spider-Verse, Sony figured if audiences liked two Spider-Men, they might as well give them more – lots more. Across the Spider-Verse features almost every version of Spider-Man that’s ever existed in a multiverse tale that sees Miles Morales face off with Spider-Man 2099 (Oscar Isaac).
Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse is streaming on Netflix and HBO Max.
‘Spider-Man: Brand New Day’ (2026)
The latest live-action Spider-Man film, Brand New Day is a soft reboot of Holland’s hero as he navigates a world without Aunt May (Marisa Tomei) and with most of his friends and allies forgetting he even exists due to a spell from Dr. Strange (Benedict Cumberbatch). The movie is making bank at the box office, so don’t expect it to be on a subscription streaming service until at least December. Sony has a first-look deal with Netflix, so it should be available on that streamer first before migrating to Disney+ and Hulu in 2027 and beyond.
Spider-Man: Brand New Day is not available to stream just yet.
‘Spider-Man’ (1978)
Wait, there’s a Spider-Man film from the 1970s? Well, kinda. The Japanese production company Toei licensed the Marvel character for a 1978-1979 TV series, and one of the episodes was turned into a movie. Shinji Todō stars as Spider-Man, whose real name is Takuya Yamashiro instead of Peter Parker.
The film isn’t officially available on any streaming service, although there are fan uploads on YouTube and the Internet Archive. Disney+ documented the creation of the Japanese series in its original series, Marvel 616, but that’s not available to stream either.
