There are too many Spider-Mans!! That was even a plot point in two of the most recent Spidey stories, Into The Spider-Verse and No Way Home.
If you dare to take on an almighty binge of every cinematic outing to feature Stan Lee’s classic web-slinging superhero, it’s a rocky and inconsistent road, my friend. The Marvel and Sony Spider-Man films are available on Netflix, Prime Video, BBC iPlayer, Disney+, and on demand…just not all in the one place.
Spidey’s time on the big screen began with Sam Raimi’s wonderfully sincere trilogy starring Tobey Maguire and Kirsten Dunst. All three films are available on Netflix—but 2002’s original film is also available on Disney+, and Spider-Man 2 is available on Disney+ and Prime Video. Weird.
Only a few years after the critical failure of Spider-Man 3, Andrew Garfield turned Peter Parker a tad moodier in The Amazing Spider-Man and lame sequel The Amazing Spider-Man 2. Both films are available to stream on Disney+, but the first is additionally available on Netflix and the second on Prime Video. If you’re into that sort of thing.
As the MCU gradually become the apex predator of superhero cinema, Tom Holland’s even more youthful take on the character won audiences over in his first solo movie Spider-Man: Homecoming. Followed up by Far From Home and No Way Home, these most recent live-action Spidey flicks are kinda between homes.
Homecoming is available on Disney+, Netflix, Prime Video, and BBC iPlayer: the latter two films can only be rented or bought on demand through Apple TV, Google Play, or Prime.
Finally we have Spider-Man: Into The Spider-Verse, which can be seen on Prime Video or rented through the same platforms as the MCU Spidey movies. It’s an animated triumph that we’d recommend to anyone—even, nay, especially those of us who are sick to death of the friendly neighbourhood bugman.
Once you’ve completed your Spider-Marathon and hopped back and forth between countless streaming platforms, you might have some appreciation for the hero’s hectic schedule. With great streaming subscriptions comes great responsibility.
