It has been a little more than 20 years since Spider-Man swung into the hearts of moviegoers around the world with Sam Raimi’s live-action adaptation of the iconic comic book property. Since then, we have seen multiple versions of Peter Parker (and other Web-Slingers) take to the screen on separate adventures, as well as the incredible Spider-Man: No Way Home with its story that brought Tobey Maguire, Andrew Garfield, and Tom Holland’s Web-Heads together for an epic showdown with the Sinister Six’s biggest baddies. And let’s not forget the Spider-Verse movies, which are at or near the top of our list of Spider-Man movies, ranked.
With the future of the MCU’s Spider-Man 4 up in the air, and the animated Beyond the Spider-Verse having its premieres date removed from the 2024 release schedule, who knows when we’ll see any version of the fan-favorite comic book character return to the big screen. That being said, it has never been easier to watch the previous Spider-Man movies streaming. Here’s how!
The Sam Raimi Spider-Man Movies Streaming
Sam Raimi’s Spider-Man trilogy gave comic book fans two of the best superhero movies (and 2007’s Spider-Man 3), and helped usher in a new era for the genre starting in 2002. Following Tobey Maguire’s Peter Parker from socially inept high school newspaper photographer to the Big Apple’s number one hero (and dancer), the three films in Raimi’s franchise were something to behold. In the past, all three movies have been on services like Starz and Plex but are currently only available for purchase or rental.
Spider-Man (2002)
The 2002 superhero origin story Spider-Man centers on Peter Parker (Tobey Maguire) as he transformed into the iconic web-slinger, dealing with all the responsibility that comes with his great power. After Norman Osborn (Willem Dafoe) goes off the deep end and becomes the maniacal Green Goblin, it’s up to Spider-Man to stop his evil plans and try to find redemption for the man who sees him like a son.

Spider-Man 2 (2002)

Spider-Man 3 (2007)
Spider-Man 3 has a lot going on with multiple villains, subplots, and the infamous Peter Parker dance scene. When Spider-Man’s suit gets a new look and powers from a mysterious symbiote, he slowly becomes everything he hated and more. On top of that, he has to face off with a trio of his most iconic comic book enemies — Harry Osborn’s (James Franco) take on the Green Goblin, Venom (Topher Grace), and Sandman (Thomas Haden Church) — in a series of over-the-top battles.

The Amazing Spider-Man Movies Streaming
In 2012, the Spider-Man franchise took a step in a different direction with the introduction of Mark Webb’s The Amazing Spider-Man movies. Based on the comic series of the same name, the reboot series saw Andrew Garfield take over the role of Peter Parker as he is transformed into the iconic webslinger. And who knows, maybe we’ll get to see the scrapped Amazing Spider-Man 3 sequel one of these days.
The Amazing Spider-Man (2012)
The first of two movies, The Amazing Spider-Man started out in a similar manner to its 2002 counterpart, but instead of having Peter Parker take on the Green Goblin as his first test, this summer blockbuster focused Dr. Curt Connors’ (Rhys Ifans) Lizard, who nearly pushed Spider-Man to the breaking point, both physically and mentally.

It also doesn’t hurt that these are some of the best movies on Disney+.
Captain America: Civil War (2016)
The first of three movies directed by Anthony and Joe Russo to have Spider-Man as part of a large ensemble cast, Captain America: Civil War skipped the Peter Parker origin story entirely and instead introduced the webslinger after he had already gained his powers when coming to the aid of Tony Stark (Robert Downey Jr.) in his showdown with Steve Rogers (Chris Evans).
