It\u2019s been 10 years since Spider-Man first made his debut in the Marvel Cinematic Universe<\/a>, and he\u2019s had a tangled movie history ever since. <\/p>\n

\u201cSpider-Man: Brand New Day<\/a>,\u201d which comes to theaters Friday, will be the fourth solo film featuring Tom Holland\u2019s web-slinging superhero. But he\u2019s also made appearances in multiple other Marvel films over the years \u2014 and that\u2019s not even including the two sets of Spider-Man movies that preceded him, starring Tobey Maguire and Andrew Garfield, who are both now (sort of) integrated into the MCU. <\/p>\n
