We will tackle those crazy crossovers in No Way Home, adding that important context! And we explain those key crossover moments! Because things get seriously mind-bending.
- Spider-Man (2002): The classic origin story with Tobey Maguire! Spidey battles the Green Goblin! Very good, and sets everything off.
- Spider-Man 2 (2004): Spidey versus Doctor Octopus! Amazing visuals! Emotional moments. One of the best ever!
- Spider-Man 3 (2007): Things get crazy! Harry Osborn, Sandman, AND the Symbiote! A great conclusion to this storyline that sadly lacked proper development after.
- The Amazing Spider-Man (2012): Andrew Garfield's origin. He takes on the Lizard. Very dark, but awesome too.
- The Amazing Spider-Man 2 (2014): More drama, Electro, and Green Goblin! Emotional roller-coaster that sets up lots of later intrigue.
- Spider-Man: Homecoming (2017): Tom Holland’s entry. Spidey balances his high-school life and this whole new superhero gig. An insanely good movie; highly engaging with an entertaining plot.
- Spider-Man: Far From Home (2019): Spidey goes to Europe (with Nick Fury!), takes on Mysterio! This storyline is super fun; another exciting storyline, even more than Homecoming!
- Spider-Man: No Way Home (2021): Three Spider-Men unite, versus villains from the earlier universes! An epic crossover movie, amazing for many viewers! Very well done and an impressive cinematic experience for viewers. A true and very, very effective success!

Spider-Verse Timeline
The animated Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse and Across the Spider-Verse exist in the same multiverse; there are possible implications concerning earlier universes shown within that narrative and those details; but nothing truly conclusive.
