== History ==
The fictional character [[Spider-Man]], a comic book [[superhero]] created by [[Stan Lee]] and [[Steve Ditko]] and featured in [[Marvel Comics]] publications, has appeared as a main character in numerous theatrical and made-for-television films.

The first four films were linked to television series and screened in theaters only in certain countries. [[Nicholas Hammond]] starred as Peter Parker / Spider-Man in the 1977 made-for-television film ''[[Spider-Man (1977 film)|Spider-Man]]'' that spawned a broadcast series, and would appear as the character in two sequels edited from those episodes. In 1978, the [[Toei Company]] created a theatrical spin-off of their [[Spider-Man (Japanese TV series)|''Spider-Man'' television series]], with Shinji Todō reprising his role as [[Spider-Man (Takuya Yamashiro)|Takuya Yamashiro / Spider-Man]]. None of these films had a theatrical release in the United States.

By 1999, [[Sony Pictures Entertainment]] had acquired the motion picture rights to the character for cinema and TV,<ref>{{Cite web |last=Bacon |first=Thomas |date=2019-09-21 |title=Spider-Man TV Rights Explained (& Sony's Plan For The Future) |url=https://screenrant.com/spiderman-tv-rights-shows-explained/ |access-date=2023-09-29 |website=ScreenRant |language=en}}</ref> creating two [[Spider-Man in television|''Spider-Man'' animated TV series]], and two film series comprising their own continuities: the [[Sam Raimi]] ''Spider-Man'' trilogy of films (2002–2007) starring [[Tobey Maguire]] as [[Peter Parker (Sam Raimi film series)|the character]], and the [[Marc Webb]] ''Amazing Spider-Man'' films (2012–2014) starring [[Andrew Garfield]] in the [[Peter Parker (The Amazing Spider-Man film series)|role]].

In February 2015, [[The Walt Disney Company|Disney]], [[Marvel Studios]], and Sony made a deal to share the Spider-Man film rights, leading to a new iteration of Spider-Man being introduced and integrated into the [[Marvel Cinematic Universe]]. The deal allowed Sony Pictures to continue to own, finance, distribute, and have final creative control of the solo Spider-Man films, with [[Walt Disney Studios Motion Pictures]] distributing the films with his other appearances in a supporting capacity. [[Tom Holland]] portrays [[Peter Parker (Marvel Cinematic Universe)|this version]] of Spider-Man, and has appeared in six films to date, from ''[[Captain America: Civil War]]'' (2016) to ''[[Spider-Man: No Way Home]]'' (2021). In September 2019, following a brief stand-off resulting in the termination of the old agreement, Disney and Sony relented to fan outcry and reached a new agreement for Holland's version to return for future films; the first film to be produced afterwards was ''No Way Home'', where Holland appears alongside Maguire and Garfield, who reprise their roles in the film as supporting characters. A fourth MCU ''Spider-Man'' film is in development at Sony and Disney.

Plans for an animated Spider-Man film were officially announced by Sony in April 2015, which eventually became ''[[Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse]]'' (2018) from [[Sony Pictures Animation]]. [[Shameik Moore]] voices [[Miles Morales|Miles Morales / Spider-Man]] in the film, along with various other versions of Peter Parker and [[Alternative versions of Spider-Man#Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse|alternate versions of Spider-Man]] from the [[multiverse]] also appearing. A sequel, titled ''[[Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse]]'', was released in 2023, with a third film, titled ''Spider-Man: Beyond the Spider-Verse'', currently in production. Potential spin-offs are also planned.

The Spider-Man films have been generally well received. They have collectively grossed $10.2 billion at the global box office, with ''Far From Home'' becoming the first Spider-Man film to gross over $1 billion worldwide followed by ''No Way Home'', which became Sony's [[List of highest-grossing films|highest-grossing film of all time]].<ref>{{Cite web |title=All Time Worldwide Box Office for Sony Pictures Movies |url=https://www.the-numbers.com/box-office-records/worldwide/all-movies/theatrical-distributors/sony-pictures |access-date=2023-10-18 |website=The Numbers}}</ref> In 2019, ''Into the Spider-Verse'' won the [[Academy Award for Best Animated Feature]]. Fifteen years prior, the [[Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences|Academy]] had awarded ''[[Spider-Man 2]]'' the [[77th Academy Awards|Academy Award for Best Visual Effects]].

===Cannon Films===
The low box office performance of 1983's ''[[Superman III]]'' made feature-film adaptations of comic book properties a low priority in Hollywood until the late 1990s.<ref name="Movie Mess">{{cite news|last=Hiltzik|first=Michael A.|title=Spidey's Movie Mess|work=[[Los Angeles Times]]|date=September 29, 1998}}</ref> In 1985, after a brief option on ''Spider-Man'' by [[Roger Corman]] expired,<ref>{{cite web|last=Kaye|first=Don|title=A Tangled Web|work=MSN|url=http://movies.msn.com/paralleluniverse/a-tangled-web/story/across-the-universe/|access-date=July 8, 2012|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130526002445/http://movies.msn.com/paralleluniverse/a-tangled-web/story/across-the-universe/|archive-date=May 26, 2013}}</ref> [[Marvel Comics]] optioned the property to [[The Cannon Group|Cannon Films]].

[[Tobe Hooper]], then preparing both ''[[Invaders from Mars (1986 film)|Invaders from Mars]]'' and ''[[The Texas Chainsaw Massacre 2]]'', was mooted as director. Golan and Globus misunderstood the concept of the character ("They thought it was like The Wolf Man", said director [[Joseph Zito]])<ref name="Hiltzik">{{cite news| first=Michael A. |last=Hiltzik |url= https://www.latimes.com/archives/la-xpm-2002-mar-24-tm-34460-story.html |title=Untangling the Web |work= Los Angeles Times |date=March 24, 2002 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210614041710/https://www.latimes.com/archives/la-xpm-2002-mar-24-tm-34460-story.html |archive-date= June 14, 2021|access-date=April 21, 2022}}</ref> and instructed writer [[Leslie Stevens]], creator of ''[[The Outer Limits (1963 TV series)|The Outer Limits]]'', to write a treatment reflecting their misconception. In Stevens' story, a corporate scientist intentionally subjects ID-badge photographer Peter Parker to radioactive bombardment, transforming him into a hairy, suicidal, eight-armed monster. This human tarantula refuses to join the scientist's new master-race of mutants, battling a succession of mutations kept in a basement laboratory.<ref name="Hiltzik"/><ref name="Gross">{{cite book|first=Edward|last=Gross|title=Spider-Man Confidential|publisher=[[Hyperion (publisher)|Hyperion]]|year=2002}}</ref>

Unhappy with this perceived debasement of his comic book creation, Marvel's [[Stan Lee]] pushed for a new story and screenplay, written for Cannon by Ted Newsom and [[John Brancato and Michael Ferris|John Brancato]].<ref name="Newsom"/> The variation on the [[origin story]] had Otto Octavius as a teacher and mentor to a college-aged Peter Parker. The cyclotron accident which "creates" Spider-Man also deforms the scientist into [[Doctor Octopus]] and results in his mad pursuit of proof of the [[Fifth Force]]. "Doc Ock" reconstructs his cyclotron and causes electromagnetic abnormalities, [[anti-gravity]] effects, and [[bilocation]] which threatens to engulf New York City and the world. [[Joseph Zito]], who had directed Cannon's successful [[Chuck Norris]] film ''[[Invasion U.S.A. (1985 film)|Invasion U.S.A.]]'', replaced Tobe Hooper.<ref>{{cite news|first=William S.|last= Wilson| url= http://originalvidjunkie.blogspot.com/2010/06/never-got-made-file-19-look-out-here.html|title=The "Never Got Made" File #19: Look Out! Here comes the SPIDER-MAN movie...or maybe not!|work=Video Junkie|date=June 28, 2010| access-date= October 23, 2013}}</ref> The new director hired Barney Cohen to rewrite the script. Cohen added action scenes, a non-canonical comic-book sidekick for the villain, gave Doc Ock the catch phrase, "Okey-dokey", and altered his goal from the Fifth Force to a quest for [[anti-gravity]]. Producer Golan (using his pen name "Joseph Goldman") then made a minor polish to Cohen's rewrite. Zito scouted locations and studio facilities in both the U.S. and Europe, and oversaw storyboard breakdowns supervised by [[Harper Goff]]. Cannon planned to make the film on the then-substantial budget of between $15 and $20&nbsp;million.<ref name="unraveling" />

While no casting was finalized, Zito expressed interest in actor/stunt man [[Scott Leva]], who had posed for Cannon's promotional photos and ads, and made public appearances as Spider-Man for Marvel. The up-and-coming actor [[Tom Cruise]] was also discussed for the leading role. Zito considered [[Bob Hoskins]] as Doc Ock. Stan Lee expressed his desire to play ''[[Daily Bugle]]'' editor [[J. Jonah Jameson]].<ref name="Leva">{{cite journal|last=Jankiewicz|first=Pat|date=July 2002|title=Scott Leva, the Man Who Was Almost Spider-Man|journal=Starlog/Comics Scene Presents Spider-Man|volume=1|issue=1|pages=62–64}}</ref> [[Lauren Bacall]] and [[Katharine Hepburn]] were considered for [[Aunt May]], [[Gregory Peck]] and [[Paul Newman]] as [[Uncle Ben]], [[Peter Cushing]] as a sympathetic scientist, and [[Adolph Caesar]] as a police detective.<ref name="Newsom">{{cite journal|first=Patrick Daniel|last= O'Neill|journal=Comics Interview Magazine|title=Screenwriter Ted Newsom|publisher=Fictioneer Books Ltd.|date= March 1990|issue=85}}</ref> With Cannon finances siphoned by the expensive ''[[Superman IV: The Quest for Peace]]'' and ''[[Masters of the Universe (film)|Masters of the Universe]]'', the company slashed the proposed ''Spider-Man'' budget to under $10&nbsp;million. Director Zito opted out, unwilling to make a compromised ''Spider-Man''. The company commissioned low-budget rewrites from writers Shepard Goldman, Don Michael Paul, and finally [[Ethan Wiley]], and penciled in company workhorse [[Albert Pyun]] as director, who also made script alterations.<ref name= "Gross" />

Scott Leva was still associated with the character through Marvel (he had appeared in photo covers of the comic), and he read each draft. Leva commented: "Ted Newsom and John Brancato had written the script. It was good, but it needed a little work. Unfortunately, with every subsequent rewrite by other writers, it went from good to bad to terrible."<ref name="Leva"/> Due to Cannon's assorted financial crises, the project shut down after spending about $1.5&nbsp;million on the project.<ref name="Hiltzik"/> In 1989, [[MGM-Pathé Communications|Pathé]], owned by corrupt [[Italian people|Italian]] financier [[Giancarlo Parretti]], acquired the overextended Cannon. The filmmaking cousins parted, Globus remaining associated with Pathé, Golan leaving to run [[21st Century Film Corporation]], keeping a number of properties (including ''Spider-Man'') in lieu of a cash buy-out. He also extended his ''Spider-Man'' option with Marvel up to January 1992.<ref name="legal" />

Golan shelved the low-budget rewrites and attempted to finance an independent production from the original big-budget script, already budgeted, storyboarded and laid out.<ref>{{cite news| first= Sheldon| last=Teitelbaum|title=Spider-Man - The Movie: For Cannon Films it was a web too far|work=[[Cinefantastique]]| date=September 1987}}</ref> At Cannes in May 1989, 21st Century announced a September start date, with ads touting the script by "Barney Cohen, Ted Newsom & John Brancato and Joseph Goldman".<ref name="Ock21stCentury1989">{{cite news| title=21st Century Ad 1989|page= 11| work= Variety| date=May 5, 1989}}</ref> As standard practice, Golan pre-sold the unmade film to raise production funds, with television rights bought by [[Viacom (1952–2006)|Viacom]] and home video rights by [[Columbia Pictures]], which wanted to establish a studio franchise.

===Carolco Pictures / MGM===
21st Century's Menahem Golan still actively immersed himself mounting "his" ''Spider-Man'', sending the original "Doc Ock" script for production bids.

====James Cameron "scriptment"====
Months later, [[James Cameron]] submitted an undated 57-page "[[scriptment]]" with an alternate story (the copyright registration was dated 1991), part screenplay, part narrative story outline.<ref name="Hiltzik" /> The "scriptment" told the Spider-Man origin, but used variations on the comic book characters [[Electro (Marvel Comics)|Electro]] and [[Sandman (Marvel Comics)|Sandman]] as villains. This "Electro" (named Carlton Strand, instead of Max Dillon) was a megalomaniacal parody of corrupt capitalists. Instead of Flint Marko's character, Cameron's "Sandman" (simply named Boyd) is mutated by an accident involving [[Philadelphia Experiment]]-style bilocation and atom-mixing, in lieu of getting caught in a nuclear blast on a beach. The story climaxes with a battle atop the [[World Trade Center (1973–2001)|World Trade Center]] and had [[Spider-Man|Peter Parker]] revealing his identity to [[Mary Jane Watson]]. In addition, the treatment was also heavy on profanity, and had Spider-Man and Mary Jane having sex on the [[Brooklyn Bridge]].<ref>{{cite news|first=Scott|last=Chitwood|title=Review of James Cameron's Spider-Man Scriptment|publisher=[[IGN]]|date=February 15, 2000|url=https://www.ign.com/articles/2000/02/15/review-of-james-camerons-spider-man-scriptment|access-date=April 21, 2022|archive-date=March 12, 2022|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220312134248/https://www.ign.com/articles/2000/02/15/review-of-james-camerons-spider-man-scriptment}}</ref>

This treatment reflected elements in previous scripts: from the Stevens treatment, organic web-shooters, and a villain who tempts Spider-Man to join a coming "master race" of mutants; from the original screenplay and rewrite, weird electrical storms causing blackouts, freak magnetic events and bi-location; from the Ethan Wiley draft, a villain addicted to toxic super-powers and multiple experimental spiders, one of which escapes and bites Peter, causing a hallucinatory nightmare invoking [[Franz Kafka]]'s ''[[The Metamorphosis]]''; from the Frank LaLoggia script, a blizzard of stolen cash fluttering down onto surprised New Yorkers; and from the Neil Ruttenberg screenplay, a criminal assault on the [[New York Stock Exchange|NYC Stock Exchange]].<ref name="Gross"/> In 1991, Carolco Pictures extended Golan's option agreement with Marvel through May 1996,<ref name="legal"/> but in April 1992, Carolco ceased active production on Spider-Man due to continued financial and legal problems.<ref>{{cite news|first=Jim|last=Bullard|title=Spider-Man now 30|work=[[St. Petersburg Times]]|date=April 17, 1992}}</ref> During this time [[Leonardo DiCaprio]] was considered for Peter Parker/Spider-Man; [[Maggie Smith]] as Aunt May; [[Robyn Lively]] as Mary Jane Watson; [[R.

====Litigation====
When James Cameron agreed to make ''Spider-Man'', Carolco lawyers simply used his previous ''Terminator 2'' contract as a template. A clause in this agreement gave Cameron the right to decide on movie and advertising credits. Show business trade articles and advertisements made no mention of Golan, who was still actively assembling the elements for the film.<ref name="legal" /> In 1993, Golan complained publicly and finally instigated legal action against Carolco for disavowing his contractual guarantee credit as producer. On the other hand, Cameron had the contractual right to decide on credits.<ref name="Gross" /> Eventually, Carolco sued Viacom and Columbia to recover broadcast and home video rights, and the two studios countersued.<ref name="unraveling" /> [[20th Century Fox]], though not part of the litigation, contested Cameron's participation, claiming exclusivity on his services as a director under yet another contract.<ref name="Hiltzik" /> In 1996, Carolco, 21st Century, and Marvel went bankrupt.

Via a [[quitclaim]] from Carolco dated March 28, 1995, [[Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer|MGM]] acquired 21st Century's film library and assets, and received "...all rights in and to all drafts and versions of the screenplay(s) for ''Spider-Man'' written by James Cameron, Ted Newsom & John Brancato, Menahem Golan, Jon [sic] Michael Paul, Ethan Wiley, Leslie Stevens, Frank Laloggia, Neil Ruttenberg, Barney Cohen, Shepard Goldman and any and all other writers."<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.secinfo.com/$/Search.asp?Find=1-09264|title=Securities and Exchange Commission Document 1-09264|access-date=November 5, 2007|author=Securities and Exchange Commission|date=April 15, 1995|publisher=SECInfo.com (requires registration)}}</ref> MGM also sued 21st Century, Viacom, and Marvel Comics, alleging fraud in the original deal between Cannon and Marvel. In 1998, Marvel emerged from bankruptcy with a reorganization plan that merged the company with [[Toy Biz]].<ref name="legal"/> The courts determined that the original contract of Marvel's rights to Golan had expired, returning the rights to Marvel, but the matter was still not completely resolved. In 1999, Marvel licensed ''Spider-Man'' rights to [[Columbia Pictures|Columbia]], a subsidiary of [[Sony Pictures Entertainment]].<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.wipo.int/wipo_magazine/en/2012/03/article_0005.html|title=Marvel's Superhero Licensing|date=June 2012|access-date=August 23, 2012|publisher=World Intellectual Property Organization}}</ref> MGM disputed the legality, claiming it had the ''Spider-Man'' rights via Cannon, 21st Century, and Carolco.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.latimes.com/archives/la-xpm-1999-mar-02-fi-13115-story.html|first=Michael|last=Hiltzik|title=Studio Rights to Spider-Man Are Untangled|date=March 2, 1999|access-date=April 21, 2022|work=[[Los Angeles Times]]}}</ref>

===Columbia Pictures===
{{further|Spider-Man (2002 film)#Development|l1=''Spider-Man'' (2002 film) § Development}}
In the meantime, MGM/UA chief executive [[John Calley]] moved to [[Columbia Pictures]]. Intimately familiar with the legal history of producer [[Kevin McClory]]'s claim to the rights to both ''[[Thunderball (film)|Thunderball]]'' and other related [[James Bond]] characters and elements, Calley announced that Columbia would produce an alternate 007 series, based on the "McClory material", which Calley acquired for Columbia.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.mi6.co.uk/sections/articles/sony_past_007_attempts.php3?s=articles&t|title=Past 007 Attempts|publisher=MI6, Home of James Bond|date=September 14, 2004|access-date=November 7, 2007|archive-url=http://arquivo.pt/wayback/20091010074357/http://www.mi6.co.uk/sections/articles/sony_past_007_attempts.php3?s=articles&t|archive-date=October 10, 2009|url-status=dead}}</ref> Columbia had made the original 1967 film spoof of ''[[Casino Royale (1967 film)|Casino Royale]]'', a non-[[Eon Productions|Eon production]].

Both studios now faced rival projects, which could undercut their own long-term financial stability and plans. Columbia had no consistent movie franchise, and had sought ''Spider-Man'' since 1989; MGM/UA's only reliable source of theatrical income was a new James Bond film every two or three years. An alternate 007 series could diminish or even eliminate the power of MGM/UA's long-running Bond series. Likewise, an MGM/UA ''Spider-Man'' film could negate Columbia's plans to create an exclusive cash cow. Both sides seemed to have strong arguments for the rights to do such films.<ref>{{cite news|url=https://variety.com/2002/scene/markets-festivals/a-league-of-her-own-1117871343/|title=A League of Her Own|first=Anne|last=Thompson|work=[[Variety (magazine)|Variety]]|date=August 18, 2002|access-date=April 21, 2022}}</ref>

===''Spider-Man'' (2002)===
{{Main|Spider-Man (2002 film)|l1=''Spider-Man'' (2002 film)}}
''Spider-Man'' follows [[Peter Parker (Sam Raimi film series)|Peter Parker]] ([[Tobey Maguire]]), an orphaned high schooler who pines after popular girl-next-door [[Mary Jane Watson (Sam Raimi film series)|Mary Jane Watson]] ([[Kirsten Dunst]]). While on a science class field trip at [[Columbia University]], a genetically-engineered "super spider" bites Peter. As a result, Peter gains superhuman abilities, including increased strength, speed, and the abilities to scale walls and generate organic webbing. After his beloved [[Uncle Ben]] ([[Cliff Robertson]]) is murdered, the teenager realizes that he must use his newfound abilities to protect New York City. Meanwhile, wealthy industrialist [[Norman Osborn (Sam Raimi film series)|Norman Osborn]] ([[Willem Dafoe]]), the father of Peter's best friend [[Harry Osborn (Sam Raimi film series)|Harry Osborn]] ([[James Franco]]), subjects himself to an experimental performance-enhancing serum, which creates a psychotic and murderous split personality. Donning a military battle suit, Norman becomes a freakish "Green Goblin", who begins to terrorize the city. Peter, as Spider-Man, now must battle with the Goblin, all while dealing with personal situations involving his domestic and his love life.

===''Spider-Man 2'' (2004)===
{{Main|Spider-Man 2|l1=''Spider-Man 2''}}
Two years after the events of the first film, Peter struggles to balance his superhero and private lives and still pines after [[Mary Jane Watson (Sam Raimi film series)|Mary Jane Watson]], who is now engaged. [[Harry Osborn (Sam Raimi film series)|Harry Osborn]] continues to believe Spider-Man is responsible for his father [[Norman Osborn]]'s death. Spider-Man contends with scientist [[Doctor Octopus|Otto Octavius]] ([[Alfred Molina]]), also known as Doctor Octopus, who initially mentors his alter-ego and has four mechanical tentacles fused to his spine following a failed fusion-based experiment and sets out to recreate the same that could destroy much of New York City.

===''Spider-Man 3'' (2007)===
{{Main|Spider-Man 3|l1=''Spider-Man 3''}}
Peter is still with [[Mary Jane Watson]], while [[Harry Osborn (Sam Raimi film series)|Harry Osborn]] succeeds his father as the new [[Harry Osborn#Green Goblin|Green Goblin (credited as '''New Goblin''')]]. [[Eddie Brock]] ([[Topher Grace]]), who, like Peter, is a photographer for the ''Daily Bugle'', sets out to defame Spider-Man and incriminate him. Meanwhile, [[Sandman (Marvel Comics)|Flint Marko]] ([[Thomas Haden Church]]), an escaped convict, falls into a particle accelerator and becomes a shape-shifting sand monster known as Sandman. Peter later learns that Marko killed Uncle Ben, causing Peter's own dark intentions to grow. This vendetta is enhanced by the appearance of the mysterious black alien [[Symbiote (comics)|symbiotic]] substance that bonds to Peter, resulting in the formation of a new black costume. Once Peter separates himself from the alien, it finds a new host in the form of Brock, resulting in the creation of [[Venom (Marvel Comics character)|Venom]] and Peter Parker having to battle the villains in the end.

===Canceled fourth film and potential revival===
{{redirect|Spider-Man 4|the planned sequel to Spider-Man: No Way Home|Spider-Man: No Way Home#Future}}
In 2007, ''Spider-Man 4'' entered development, with Raimi attached to direct and Maguire, Dunst, and other cast members set to reprise their roles. Both a fourth and a fifth film were planned and at one time the idea of shooting the two sequels [[back to back film production|concurrently]] was under consideration.

Sometime in 2014, prior to the release of ''[[The Amazing Spider-Man 2]]'', there had been informal discussions between [[Amy Pascal]] and [[Marvel Studios]] president [[Kevin Feige]] about whether the world and characters of ''The Amazing Spider-Man'' films (including [[Andrew Garfield]]'s [[Peter Parker (The Amazing Spider-Man film series)|version of Spider-Man]]) could be retroactively integrated into the [[Marvel Cinematic Universe]] (MCU), but discussions came to nothing. Pascal and [[Avi Arad]] had attempted to connect the two franchises prior to these discussions, with the pair revealing that they were intending on licensing out the design of the [[Oscorp]] Tower from ''[[The Amazing Spider-Man (film)|The Amazing Spider-Man]]'' (2012) so it could appear in the New York City skyline of the MCU film ''[[The Avengers (2012 film)|The Avengers]]'' (2012), establishing the existence of Spider-Man and associated elements in the MCU.

Work on an expanded universe using supporting characters from the ''Spider-Man'' films began by December 2013. After the relative critical and financial failure of ''The Amazing Spider-Man 2'', these plans were abandoned and in February 2015, Sony announced a deal to collaborate with [[Marvel Studios]] on future ''Spider-Man'' films and integrate the character into the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU). This relationship produced ''Spider-Man: Homecoming'', ''Spider-Man: Far From Home'', and ''Spider-Man: No Way Home'', while Sony separately redeveloped ''[[Venom (2018 film)|Venom]]'' (2018) as a standalone film beginning a new franchise named [[Sony's Spider-Man Universe]] (SSU). The franchise continued with ''[[Venom: Let There Be Carnage]]'' (2021) and ''[[Morbius (film)|Morbius]]'' (2022), both of which established that the MCU and SSU would be connected through the [[Multiverse (Marvel Cinematic Universe)|multiverse]], a concept previously explored in ''No Way Home''.

The [[post-credits scene|mid-credits scene]] of ''Let There Be Carnage'' sees [[Eddie Brock (Sony's Spider-Man Universe)|Eddie Brock]] and [[Venom (Sony's Spider-Man Universe)|Venom]] transported from their hotel to an unfamiliar location and witnessing the MCU version of [[J. Jonah Jameson (Marvel Cinematic Universe)|J. Jonah Jameson]] talking about Spider-Man's identity as [[Peter Parker (Marvel Cinematic Universe)|Peter Parker]]. This is continued in the mid-credits scene of ''No Way Home'', where Brock and Venom are transported back into their original universe, leaving a small piece of the Venom symbiote behind.

[[Michael Keaton]] reprises his ''Spider-Man: Homecoming'' role as [[Adrian Toomes (Marvel Cinematic Universe)|Adrian Toomes / Vulture]] during the post-credits scenes in ''Morbius''.  Following the casting of [[Stephen Strange (Marvel Cinematic Universe)|Doctor Strange]]'s second spell permanently erasing the world's knowledge of Peter Parker's civilian identity, Toomes is accidentally transported from the MCU to the SSU, ending up in a vacated prison cell in the latter universe. Upon being released immediately due to lacking a criminal record in the new universe, Toomes begins to surmise Spider-Man's involvement in his displacement. He soon constructs a new Vulture suit and arranges to meet Dr. [[Morbius (Sony's Spider-Man Universe)|Michael Morbius]], to whom he proposes they form a team.<ref>{{Cite web |last=Newby |first=Richard |date=2022-04-01 |title=It's a Bird!

The birth of the SSU's Peter Parker is depicted in ''[[Madame Web (film)|Madame Web]]'' (2024), set in 2003. An uncredited infant actor portrays the character. The film also features this universe's versions of [[Uncle Ben|Ben Parker]] (portrayed by [[Adam Scott (actor)|Adam Scott]]) and [[Mary Parker (comics)|Mary Parker]] (portrayed by [[Emma Roberts]]), along with mentions of [[Aunt May Parker|May Parker]] and [[Richard Parker (comics)|Richard Parker]].<ref name="SpideyConnectionsTime">{{Cite magazine |last=Grebey |first=James |date=February 14, 2024 |title=How ''Madame Web'' Connects to the Spider-Man Cinematic Multiverse |url=https://time.com/6694571/how-madame-web-relates-to-spider-man/ |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20240215013648/https://time.com/6694571/how-madame-web-relates-to-spider-man/ |archive-date=February 15, 2024 |access-date=February 15, 2024 |magazine=[[Time (magazine)|Time]]}}</ref>

Spider-Man co-creator [[Stan Lee]] has made cameo appearances in all films from ''[[Spider-Man (2002 film)|Spider-Man]]'' in 2002 to ''[[Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse]]'' in 2018 following his death in November that year. 

[[Bruce Campbell]], a long-time colleague of Sam Raimi, has a cameo appearance in all three films in the original trilogy. 
*In ''Spider-Man'', he portrays the wrestling ring announcer who gives Peter the name "Spider-Man" instead of the "Human Spider" (the name with which Peter wanted to be introduced). 
*In ''Spider-Man 2'', he portrays an usher to Mary Jane's play who refuses to let Peter enter after arriving late. 
*In ''Spider-Man 3'', Campbell appears as a French [[maître d'hôtel|maître d']] who messes up Peter's proposal to Mary Jane.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/spiderman_3/news/1648712/campbell_explains_quotspider-man_3quot_cameos_to_maguire/|title=Campbell Explains "Spider-Man 3" Cameos to Maguire|publisher=[[Rotten Tomatoes]]|last=Topel|first=Fred|date=May 1, 2007}}</ref>

The Sam Raimi trilogy was released on [[DVD]], the first two being released exclusively as two-disc sets and on [[VHS]], with the third film being released in both single and two-disc editions. All three films were later packaged in a "Motion Picture DVD Trilogy" box set.

''Spider-Man 3'' was initially the only ''Spider-Man'' film to be released individually on the high-definition [[Blu-ray Disc|Blu-ray]] format. The first two films were made available on Blu-ray, but only as part of a boxed set with the third film, called ''Spider-Man: The High-Definition Trilogy''. The first two films lacked the bonus features from the DVDs, although ''Spider-Man 2'' did contain both cuts of the film.{{citation needed|date=March 2019}}

Sony re-released the three films on June 12, 2012.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://marvel.com/news/story/18434/original_spider-man_trilogy_coming_to_blu-ray|title=Original Spider-Man Trilogy Coming to Blu-ray|date=April 2, 2012|access-date=August 23, 2012}}</ref> The DVDs of the first two films reinstated a selection of the bonus features missing from the earlier Blu-ray releases, although the ''Spider-Man 3'' reissue did not include the bonus disc of additional special features that appeared on earlier Blu-ray releases.

All three films which comprise the Raimi-trilogy are available in the U.S. on [[iTunes]].<ref>{{cite web|url=https://itunes.apple.com/us/movie/spider-man/id270784489|title=Spider-Man|website=[[iTunes]]|date=May 3, 2002|access-date=August 23, 2012}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=https://itunes.apple.com/us/movie/spider-man-2/id270736157|title=Spider-Man 2|website=[[iTunes]]|date=June 30, 2004|access-date=August 23, 2012}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=https://itunes.apple.com/us/movie/spider-man-3/id270784998|title=Spider-Man 3|website=[[iTunes]]| date=May 4, 2007 |access-date=August 23, 2012}}</ref>

''The Amazing Spider-Man 2'' became the first Spider-Man movie released on [[Ultra HD Blu-ray]] on March 1, 2016. Sony released the home video release of ''Homecoming'' on UHD and other home video formats on October 17, 2017,<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.blu-ray.com/news/?id=22017|title=Spider-Man: Homecoming 4K and 3D Blu-ray |publisher=Blu-ray.com |date=September 5, 2017 |access-date=2018-05-23}}</ref> as well as sets featuring all of their other Spider-Man movies on UHD. This included ''Spider-Man'': Limited Edition Collection, which includes all three Raimi films, and ''The Amazing Spider-Man'': Limited Edition Collection, which includes both Webb films.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.blu-ray.com/news/?id=22024 |title=Spider-Man Limited Edition 4K Blu-ray Collections |publisher=Blu-ray.com |date=September 5, 2017 |access-date=2018-05-23}}</ref>

In April 2021, Disney and Sony Pictures reached a multi-year deal to let Sony's titles (such as films from the ''Spider-Man'', ''Jumanji'', as well as ''[[Hotel Transylvania]]'' and other [[Sony Pictures Animation]] franchises) stream on Hulu and Disney+. A significant number of Sony titles began streaming on Hulu starting in June 2021.<ref>{{Cite web |last=Couch |first=Aaron |date=2021-04-21 |title=Sony Films Will Move to Disney After Netflix Window Expires |url=https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/movies/movie-news/disney-nabs-post-pay-1-rights-for-sonys-feature-films-4170479/ |access-date=2023-02-26 |website=[[The Hollywood Reporter]] |language=en-US}}</ref> It includes films from 2022 onwards. While the deal only concerns the United States, titles from Sony Pictures began to also be added to Disney+ in regions outside of the U.S., as early as June 2022, starting with the majority of the ''Spider-Man'' films.<ref>{{Cite web |title=The Spider-Man franchise is swinging onto Disney+ |url=https://uk.movies.yahoo.com/spider-man-franchise-swinging-onto-102820401.html |access-date=2023-02-26 |website=Yahoo!

[[David Ansen]] of ''[[Newsweek]]'' enjoyed ''Spider-Man'' as a fun film to watch, though he considered ''Spider-Man 2'' to be "a little too self-important for its own good." Ansen saw ''Spider-Man 3'' as a return to form, finding it "the most grandiose chapter and the nuttiest."<ref>{{cite news|first=David|last= Ansen|url=http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/18335265/site/newsweek/|title=Spidey the Swinger|work=[[Newsweek]]|date=May 7, 2007|access-date=May 20, 2009|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20070428005346/http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/18335265/site/newsweek/|archive-date=April 28, 2007}}</ref> Tom Charity of [[CNN]] appreciated the films' "solidly redemptive moral convictions", also noting the vast improvement of the visual effects from the first film to the third.

Colin Covert of the ''[[Star Tribune]]'' praised ''Spider-Man'' as a "superb debut" of the superhero as well as ''Spider-Man 2'' as a "superior sequel" for filmgoers who are fans "of spectacle and of story." Covert expressed disappointment in ''Spider-Man 3'' as too ambitious with the multiple storylines leaving one "feeling overstuffed yet shortchanged."<ref>{{cite news|first=Colin|last= Covert|url=http://www.startribune.com/1553/story/1161073.html|title=Movie review: 'Spider-Man' weaves tangled web|work=[[Star Tribune]]|date=May 3, 2007|access-date=May 20, 2009|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20070506114309/http://www.startribune.com/1553/story/1161073.html|archive-date=May 6, 2007}}</ref> Manohla Dargis of ''[[The New York Times]]'' enjoyed the humor of the first two films, but found it missing in the third installment. Dargis also noted, "The bittersweet paradox of this franchise is that while the stories have grown progressively less interesting the special effects have improved tremendously."<ref>{{cite news|first=Manohla|last= Dargis|url=http://movies2.nytimes.com/2007/05/04/movies/04spid.html|title=Superhero Sandbagged|work=[[The New York Times]]|date=May 4, 2007|access-date=May 15, 2007}}</ref> Robert Denerstein of the ''[[Rocky Mountain News]]'' ranked the films from his favorite to his least favorite: ''Spider-Man 2'', ''Spider-Man'', and ''Spider-Man 3''.
