Peter’s childhood crush Mary Janes (Kirsten Dunst) develops feelings for him as they spend more time with each other. The duo sharing the romantic upside-down kiss moment made fans fall in love as it is one of the most epic kissing scenes of all time. 

The film also cast Willem Dafoe as Norman Osborn / Green Goblin, CEO of the Oscorp, who experimented with an unstable drug enhancer on himself. He emerged as a brutal and maniacal Green Goblin envious of Spider-Man, leading to a war between them. Will Goblin reveal the real identity of Spider-Man, or will he kill him out of his ego and hatred towards Spidey? 

2. Spider-Man 2 (2004)

Everyone’s favorite Peter Parker returns in action after two years of the first-launched Spider-Man series. This time, life treats him unwell as his love interest Mary Janes got engaged to his best friend; on the other hand, Daily Bugle has attacked him as they claim to find Spider-Man a criminal.  

He quits his role as a crime fighter once and for all. But suddenly, a turning point came in his life when he had to face a supervillain Doctor Octopus, Doc Ock (Alfred Molina). A failed nuclear fusion experiment transformed him into a cyborg with four deadly metal tentacles. It’s a tough time for Peter to return as he’s already in a falling stage battling with his personal troubles, so what encourages him to step into the war against the devil Doctor Octopus?

3. Spider-Man 3 (2007)

Sam Raimi concluded his Spider-Man trilogy in this series, and this is the last time we’ll see Tobey Maguire appearing as the titular hero in Spider-Man 3. Fans can discover Peter Parker juggling with the three villains, his greatest enemies who try to destroy him, namely, the Sandman, Venom, and a new Green Goblin.

But challenges level up when Spider-Man’s suit turns jet-black, which enhances his power. At the same time, his dark qualities start to reveal.

Now again, Peter finds himself emerging as a Spider-Man to face off his new foe.  

8. Venom (2018)

Venom doesn’t feature any of the three Spider-Man’s that we have seen in the overall franchise. But it does introduce us to Tom Hardy’s version of Eddie Brock, which Topher Grace played in Spider-Man 3.

Parker. Brooklyn teenager Miles Morales is also one of the Spider-Mans that developed mysterious powers after being beaten by a radioactive spider in the subway. Brooklyn uses his newfound skills and joins the team of the Spider-Mans to battle against the evil Kingpin.

11. Avengers: End Game (2019)

Spider-Man’s presence in Avengers: End game remained unveiled due to certain plot reasons, but in some climaxes of the story, we might have felt his presence. The story took place after the events of Avengers: Infinity War (2018), showing how the evil demigod Thanos has ruined the universe and the planet. Now Avengers must find out a way to call back upon their vanquished allies to defeat Thanos once and for all. 

12. Spider-Man: Far From Home (2019)

Web-Slinger– Spidey wanted to take a break from the superheroic world, thus planned a vacation trip for Europe with his buddies.

15. Morbius (2022)

Michael Morbius commonly known as Morbius is a biogenetic scientist who was suffering dangerously from a rare blood disorder. He wants to cure himself of this disease, so he attempts an experimental treatment that turns him into Morbius–a pseudo-vampire. It granted him superhuman power and an overwhelming bloodlust. 

Since Morbius is purely a stand-alone spin-off film and is not adjacent to any of the Spider-Man series, it re-introduces Michael Keaton’s Vulture, who appeared in Spider-Man: Homecoming, indicating that Morbius could enter into the MCU world along with the leading MCU characters.

16. Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse Part One (2023)
