Release order
Choose a run: the Tobey Maguire trilogy, the Andrew Garfield pair, the Tom Holland MCU films, or the animated Spider-Verse films. Release order across all of them adds context to later crossovers, especially No Way Home.
Different worlds. A familiar responsibility.
Every leap
begins somewhere.
Three live-action interpretations and an animated multiverse give Spider-Man several distinct starting points. This guide focuses on Spider-Man-led theatrical films, keeping each continuity readable on its own.

Two ways in.
One great journey.
Story order
Each group follows its own release sequence. These are separate universes, so there is no single canonical calendar joining them. Holland’s first MCU appearance is in Captain America: Civil War; Avengers appearances and Sony’s villain-led spinoffs are outside this Spider-Man-led list.
