Tom Holland’s MCU Spider-Man Films

These are the films that exist in the same Marvel universe as the rest of the Avengers films. The rights belong to Sony Pictures but Tom Holland’s Peter Parker has shared custody with the Kevin Feige-led studio. However, until this deal they were noticeably absent from Disney+.

Spider-Man: Home Coming (2017) – Directed by Jon Watts. The official description reads:

A young Peter Parker/Spider-Man (Tom Holland), who made his sensational debut in Captain America: Civil War, begins to navigate his newfound identity as the web-slinging super hero. Thrilled by his experience with the Avengers, Peter returns home, where he lives with his Aunt May (Marisa Tomei), under the watchful eye of his new mentor Tony Stark (Robert Downey Jr.). Peter tries to fall back into his normal daily routine – distracted by thoughts of proving himself to be more than just your friendly neighborhood Spider-Man – but when the Vulture (Michael Keaton) emerges as a new villain, everything that Peter holds most important will be threatened.

Spider-Man: No Way Home (December 17, 2021) – Directed by Jon Watts

Rumors surrounding the plot of the third MCU Spider-Man film are limitless. We know that Benedict Cumberbatch will show up as the Doctor Strange and the film will have the web-crawler facing off a threat to the Multiverse.

Tobey Maguire’s Spider-Man Trilogy

This is the series that brought the superhero film genre to the forefront of popular culture. It turned the page from previous poor attempts to adapt comic book characters to the big screen by taking itself serious as a film.

Spider-Man (2002) – Directed by Sam Raimi. The official description reads:

Average teenager Peter Parker is transformed into an extraordinary super hero after he is accidentally bitten by a radioactive spider. When his beloved uncle is savagely murdered during a robbery, young Peter vows to use his powers to avenge his death. Deeming himself “Spider-Man,” he sets about ridding the streets of crime, bringing him into conflict with malevolent super-villain “Green Goblin.”

In SPIDER-MAN 2, the latest installment in the blockbuster Spider-Man series, based on the classic Marvel Comics hero, Tobey Maguire returns as the mild-mannered Peter Parker, who is juggling the delicate balance of his dual life as college student and a superhuman crime fighter. Peter’s life becomes even more complicated when he confronts a new nemesis, the brilliant Otto Octavius (Alfred Molina) who has been reincarnated as the maniacal and multi-tentacled “Doc Ock.” When Doc Ock kidnaps MJ (Kirsten Dunst), Spider-Man must swing back into action as the adventure reaches new heights of unprecedented excitement.

But when a strange alien symbiote turns Spider-Man’s suit black, his darkest demons come to light changing Spider-Man inside as well as out. Spider-Man is in for the fight of his life against a lethal mix of villains – the deadly Sandman (Thomas Haden Church), Venom (Topher Grace), and the New Goblin (James Franco) – as well as the enemy within himself.

The Amazing Spider-Man 2 (2014) – Directed by Marc Webb. The official description reads:

It’s great to be Spider-Man (Andrew Garfield). For Peter Parker, there’s no feeling quite like swinging between skyscrapers, embracing being the hero, and spending time with Gwen (Emma Stone). But being Spider-Man comes at a price: only Spider-Man can protect his fellow New Yorkers from the formidable villains that threaten the city. With the emergence of Electro (Jamie Foxx), Peter must confront a foe far more powerful than himself. And as his old friend, Harry Osborn (Dane DeHaan), returns, Peter comes to realize that all of his enemies have one thing in common: Oscorp.

What’s NOT Coming to Disney+

With all these new films that will be dropping sometime in the future, it is starting to feel like Disney+ is the place to be for Marvel fans. Soon it will have a nearly complete library of Marvel movies, but there will still be a few that have not found a way home yet. Namely, the Hulk films, which are currently only available to stream on STARZ.

The Incredible Hulk (2008) – Directed by Louis Leterrier. The official description reads:

Bruce Banner, a scientist on the run from the U.S. Government, must find a cure for the monster he turns into, whenever he loses his temper.

While The Incredible Hulk takes place in the Marvel Cinematic Universe since Universal Studios has the distribution rights after this new deal is completed the version starring Edward Norton will be left in the streaming desert by itself. There are currently no plans to bring this film to Disney+ plus characters from it will be returning in the upcoming She-Hulk series.

Hulk (2003) – Directed by Ang Lee. The official description reads:

Based on the Marvel comic! Lonely scientist Bruce Banner is zapped with an experimental ray that turns him into a raging green giant when he gets angry! With Nick Nolte and Sam Elliot.

This film does not take place in the MCU and has mostly been forgotten since Mark Ruffalo took over the role of Bruce Banner.
