The Spider-Man franchise is thriving under Marvel Studios. The character has starred in three solo films led by Tom Holland, and after nearly five years away from the big screen, he’s set to make his triumphant return in 2026 with Spider-Man: Brand New Day. The film will have Peter Parker meeting Jon Bernthal Punisher’s and Mark Ruffalo‘s Hulk. Long before the MCU, though, the Wall-Crawler leaped into theatrical fame with Sam Raimi‘s Spider-Man, starring Tobey Maguire.
The movie found great success and spawned two sequels—Spider-Man 2 in 2004, and Spider-Man 3 in 2007. With the third installment making over $880 million worldwide unadjusted for inflation, Sony quickly got to work on Spider-Man 4.
