Spider-Man Movie in Order (2026 Guide)

Spider-Man has swung through multiple film franchises since 2002, and the complete chronological list now includes 14 movies spanning live-action and animated adventures, with Spider-Man: Brand New Day set for July 2026.

Spider-Man movies released: 14 (as of 2026) • Highest-grossing Spider-Man film: Spider-Man: No Way Home ($1.92 billion) • First Spider-Man film: Spider-Man (2002) • Upcoming Spider-Man film: Spider-Man: Brand New Day (2026) • Actors who played Spider-Man: 3 (Tobey Maguire, Andrew Garfield, Tom Holland)

What are all the Spider-Man movies in order?

The complete chronological list starts with Sam Raimi’s original trilogy, followed by Marc Webb’s reboot, then Tom Holland’s MCU entries, and finally the animated Spider-Verse films. Below is the timeline of every theatrical Spider-Man movie.

The pattern: each reboot introduces a new director and lead actor, yet the core appeal of a young hero balancing power and responsibility remains constant.

Spider-Man trilogy (2002–2007)

Sam Raimi’s trilogy introduced Tobey Maguire as Peter Parker. Spider-Man (2002) launched the modern superhero film era, followed by the acclaimed Spider-Man 2 (2004) and the polarizing Spider-Man 3 (2007).

The Amazing Spider-Man duology (2012–2014)

Marc Webb rebooted the series with Andrew Garfield, releasing The Amazing Spider-Man (2012) and its sequel The Amazing Spider-Man 2 (2014). The franchise was cut short despite a planned third film.

Marvel Cinematic Universe Spider-Man films (2017–2021)

Tom Holland’s Spider-Man debuted in Captain America: Civil War (2016) before his solo trilogy: Homecoming (2017), Far From Home (2019), and the billion-dollar hit No Way Home (2021).

Spider-Verse animated series (2018–2024)

The animated Into the Spider-Verse (2018) won the Oscar for Best Animated Feature. Its sequel Across the Spider-Verse (2023) expanded the multiverse, with Beyond the Spider-Verse indefinitely postponed.

How many Spider-Man movies are there in total?

As of 2026, there are 16 films total when counting both live-action and animated entries across all franchises. That breaks down to 14 theatrical releases (10 live-action, 4 animated) plus the upcoming Brand New Day.

Live-action Spider-Man films count

Nine live-action films have been released: three Raimi, two Webb, and three MCU. The Popverse guide also includes non-solo appearances like Captain America: Civil War, Avengers: Infinity War, and Avengers: Endgame in a broader chronological watch list.

Animated Spider-Man films count

Four animated Spider-Man films exist: Into the Spider-Verse (2018), Across the Spider-Verse (2023), The Spider Within: A Spider-Verse Story (2024 short), and the unreleased Beyond the Spider-Verse.

The catch: the definition of “Spider-Man movie” varies, but the clear majority are starring films with Spider-Man as the lead.

Is Spider-Man 4 coming in 2026?

Yes. The fourth MCU Spider-Man film is titled Spider-Man: Brand New Day and is scheduled for July 31, 2026. ABC News reported the title announcement, and Fandango lists the US release date.

Spider-Man: Brand New Day details

Tom Holland returns as Peter Parker. Destin Daniel Cretton (Shang-Chi) directs. Plot details remain under wraps, but the title suggests a fresh start for the character after the multiverse events of No Way Home.

Tom Holland confirmed for Spider-Man 4

Both Marvel Studios president Kevin Feige and Sony have confirmed Holland’s involvement. Box Office Mojo notes that No Way Home grossed $1.92 billion globally, making a sequel inevitable.
