Five of the best Spider-Man movies can all officially call HBO Max their new streaming home. While fans await the new Spider-Man: Brand New Day, they can catch up on the previous two film series.

As of Mar. 1, two full Spider-Man feature film series have been added to the HBO Max streaming library. These include Sam Raimi's complete Spider-Man trilogy starring Tobey Maguire and Kirsten Dunst, as well as both of Marc Webb's The Amazing Spider-Man films starring Andrew Garfield and Emma Stone.

The Spider-Man Trilogy Was a Huge Hit With Comic Book Fans​​​​​

2002's Spider-Man was directed by Raimi from a screenplay by David Koepp, and marked the first feature film starring the Wall-Crawler after decades of different attempts to bring the character to the silver screen.

Spider-Man introduced the world to Tobey Maguire's Peter Parker, as well as a star-studded ensemble cast taking on iconic Marvel Comics characters, including Kirsten Dunst's Mary Jane Watson and Willem Dafoe's Norman Osborn, better known as the Green Goblin.

Spider-Man was a massive success upon its release, grossing more than $826 million at the box office against a budget of just $139 million, all while garnering widespread critical acclaim. The success of Spider-Man was so profound that the film was followed by two sequels, Spider-Man 2 and Spider-Man 3, released in 2004 and 2007, respectively.

Unfortunately, while Spider-Man 2 continued to astonish critics and audiences alike, Spider-Man 3 was far from the success that the previous films proved to be. That, coupled with creative concerns on Raimi's part, led to the film series' ultimate shuttering, although numerous pieces of information regarding what future films in the series would have looked like have been published in the years since.

In 2012, the web slinger returned to the silver screen to the delight of fans everywhere with the release of The Amazing Spider-Man. Directed by Webb from a screenplay by Alvin Sargent, Steve Kloves, and James Vanderbilt, The Amazing Spider-Man pitted Andrew Garfield's titular hero against Rhys Ifans' Doctor Curt Connors, aka the Lizard, in an absolutely unforgettable, action-packed adventure.

Though The Amazing Spider-Man wasn't the critical darling that the 2002 film had been, it was still more than enough of a success both critically and financially that a sequel was rushed into production. That being said, The Amazing Spider-Man 2 didn't quite hold up to its predecessor. This, on top of Sony's efforts to produce projects such as Venom and Morbius, effectively cemented the end of The Amazing Spider-Man film series.

Your scores are shown below. The character with the highest number is your match. Read their description to discover which hero the universe chose for you.

Iron Man
🛡️ Cap. America
🗡️ Black Widow
☘️ Thor
🕷️ Spider-Man
⚡ IRON MAN

Brilliant, driven, and uncompromising in your ambition. You believe that the right technology — in the right hands — can solve any problem, and you’re confident enough in your own abilities to back that up. Beneath the armor and the bravado, you carry the weight of responsibility deeply. When it truly matters, you’re willing to sacrifice everything.

🛡️ CAPTAIN AMERICA

Principled, courageous, and steadfast. You have an unshakeable sense of right and wrong, and no amount of pressure, politics, or power can make you compromise it. People trust you instinctively — not because you demand it, but because you’ve earned it. You lead not by authority but by example, and you will always get back up.

🗡️ BLACK WIDOW

Strategic, precise, and formidably self-reliant. You don’t need a suit or a superpower — your greatest weapon is your mind and your nerve. You keep your cards close, trust slowly, and operate three steps ahead of everyone else. Your past is complicated, but you’ve turned it into something that makes you nearly impossible to stop.

☘️ THOR

Powerful, honorable, and ultimately humbled by what truly matters. You came into your power believing it was your birthright — and then you learned it had to be earned. Your strength is immense, but your greatest growth came from learning to serve rather than reign. Loyal to your people, terrifying to your enemies, and always magnificent.

🕷️ SPIDER-MAN

Quick-witted, deeply compassionate, and driven by a responsibility you didn’t ask for. You’ve learned the hard way that great power comes with great cost — and you show up anyway. You stay grounded when others would ascend, and your humanity is your greatest strength. You make it look effortless. It never is.

Thankfully, 2021's Spider-Man: No Way Home gave both Maguire and Garfield the chance to reprise their roles as Spider-Man alongside Marvel Cinematic Universe star Tom Holland. Now, audiences are eagerly awaiting the return of the latter in the upcoming Spider-Man: Brand New Day, set to arrive in theaters everywhere on July 31. Maguire and Garfield haven't confirmed their return.

Audiences are also looking forward to an entirely different kind of web-slinging cinematic experience when Spider-Man: Beyond the Spider-Verse arrives in theaters on June 18, 2027. The film will mark the conclusion of the hit animated Spider-Verse feature film trilogy, and will see Miles Morales make what might be his final stand against the dreaded Spot, all while attempting to make his way back home after being left stranded in a completely different reality.

Spider-Man, Spider-Man 2, Spider-Man 3, The Amazing Spider-Man, and The Amazing Spider-Man 2 are all currently available for streaming on HBO Max.
