What are some of Spider-Man's best MCU team-ups?
While some of Spider-Man's best Marvel team-ups haven't yet been seen in live-action, the MCU has partnered Peter Parker with several other heroes. This article explores some of the most notable and entertaining partnerships that Spider-Man has had in the MCU.
Did Spider-Man team up with any of the Guardians of the Galaxy?
After saving Doctor Strange with Iron Man and being christened an Avenger, Spider-Man found himself on Titan with the two older heroes, where they came into contact with the Guardians of the Galaxy. Together, the two teams devised a plan to distract and restrain Thanos, hopefully allowing them to easily remove the Infinity Gauntlet, which was already decorated with four Infinity Stones: Power, Space, Reality, and Soul. Seeing Spider-Man alongside the Guardians of the Galaxy was hugely entertaining, especially since several of the cosmic team's members made him seem more mature.
What is the significance of Spider-Man's team-up with Daredevil in the MCU?
Spider-Man and Daredevil's team-up in Marvel Comics is one of the wall-crawler's most notable partnerships. While this hasn't happened in the MCU just yet, Peter Parker has indeed met Charlie Cox's Matt Murdock. Murdock made his official MCU debut in Spider-Man: No Way Home, providing legal advice to Peter Parker, Aunt May and Happy Hogan after the former's identity was revealed to the world, and he was implicated in major disasters. This legal partnership actually helped Parker get out of trouble.
How did Spider-Man team up with Sandman in No Way Home?
In Marvel Comics, Flint Marko's Sandman has sometimes been seen as a hero, as well as an iconic Spider-Man villain. This was paid homage to brilliantly for his first appearance in Spider-Man: No Way Home, as Sandman teamed up with Spider-Man to bring Electro to his knees, allowing both to be captured and imprisoned in Doctor Strange's Sanctum Sanctorum. While Sandman distracted Jamie Foxx's Electro, Peter Parker destroyed the electrical pylons he was using to recharge, creating one of the shortest-lived, but most effective team-ups for Spider-Man.
How did Spider-Man team up with his older counterparts in No Way Home?
While Tom Holland's Peter Parker has been featured in many brilliant partnerships in his eight-year MCU history, Spider-Man: No Way Home involved the best yet. The MCU's Spider-Man teamed up with his own multiversal variants in Phase 4, with Tobey Maguire and Andrew Garfield reprising their roles as Spider-Man from previous Sony-produced Movies. This not only tripled the amount of exciting Spider-Man action in the Phase 4 movie, but also allowed Holland's Parker to get some valuable advice from his older counterparts. The trio of Spider-Men related to each other thanks to their shared experiences and losses, and expressed their admiration for each other, becoming something like brothers over the course of Spider-Man: No Way Home.
What is Spider-Man's relationship with Ned Leeds and MJ in the MCU?
Throughout his entire MCU career, Ned Leeds and Michelle "MJ" Jones have been Peter Parker's closest friends and confidants, as two of the few people who knew of his double life. Ned helped free Spider-Man from the Shocker in Homecoming, MJ helped in the fight against Mysterio in Far From Home, and both aided in capturing and curing the multiversal villains in No Way Home, cementing the pair as Spider-Man's longest-running and most effective team-up.
