While nothing is confirmed just yet, it\u2019s quite possible that both Maguire and Garfield could be tempted back to their respective Spidey suits, for a swan-song that would make millions of fans very happy indeed.<\/p>\n
If all this talk has you hungry for some wall-crawling adventures,\u00a0RadioTimes.com\u00a0<\/strong>has your complete guide to the Spider-Man franchise so far. And don\u2019t forget, for more Spidey action, the animated series is now on Disney+ and features a whole host of the web slingers adventures against numerous foes.<\/p> Sam Raimi brought the web-slinger to the big screen in fine form for this acclaimed blockbuster, which sees Peter Parker (Tobey Maguire) come face to face with iconic foe, Green Goblin (Willem Dafoe).<\/p>\n Available to purchase on Amazon<\/a><\/p>\n The high point of Raimi\u2019s trilogy, Spider-Man 2 is widely regarded as one of the greatest superhero films ever made, chronicling Peter Parker\u2019s clash with the terrifying Doctor Octopus (Alfred Molina).<\/p>\n Available to rent or purchase on Amazon<\/a><\/p>\n This final outing for Maguire\u2019s Spider-Man was something of a misstep, biting off more than it could chew with the inclusion of three villains, none of which particularly resonated with audiences.<\/p>\n While still a financial success, the cold critical reaction to the film, in particular an ill-advised dance number,\u00a0 ultimately encouraged Sony to reboot the franchise with a younger lead actor and fresh continuity.<\/p>\n Nevertheless, Spider-Man 3 does have its defenders; there are a handful of great moments and the film does a serviceable job of wrapping up character arcs set up earlier in the trilogy.<\/p>\n Available to purchase on Amazon<\/a><\/p>\n While not officially tied to Sam Raimi\u2019s Spider-Man universe, there are a handful of playful references in Sony\u2019s acclaimed animated hit that make it a fitting palate cleanser before diving into Spidey\u2019s next iteration.<\/p>\n The Academy Award-winning family flick tells a charming coming-of-age story built around High School student and spider bite victim Miles Morales, who teams up with heroes from alternate universes to halt a sinister plan by the Kingpin.<\/p>\n Available to purchase on Amazon<\/a><\/p>\n Andrew Garfield took over the web-shooters for this reboot, which retells Spider-Man\u2019s tragic origin in a somewhat more grounded way.<\/p>\n Emma Stone co-stars as the ill-fated Gwen Stacy, while Rhys Ifans takes on the role of troubled scientist Dr Curt Connors, better known by his supervillain alter-ego: The Lizard.<\/p>\n While by no means revolutionary, most critics agreed that The Amazing Spider-Man was a fun and promising new take on Marvel\u2019s wisecracking wall-crawler.<\/p>\n Available to purchase on Amazon<\/a><\/p>\n Unfortunately, here\u2019s where things went wrong (again).<\/p>\n Sony were keen to spin their Spider-Man franchise into an expansive cinematic universe rivalling that of the mainline MCU, but ultimately tried too much too fast.<\/p>\n The result is a film that is far too long, overloaded with villains and semi-incomprehensible from a story perspective, once again putting the future of the franchise in doubt.<\/p>\n Loosely based on the Death of Gwen Stacy storyline, the feature pits Andrew Garfield\u2019s Spider-Man against Jamie Foxx\u2019s Electro, Dane DeHaan\u2019s Green Goblin and Paul Giamatti\u2019s Rhino.<\/p>\n Don\u2019t expect it to knock your socks off, but it could be worth familiarising yourself with this entry prior to Foxx\u2019s return in Tom Holland\u2019s upcoming Spider-Man 3. And it is worth noting that while the movie itself can be a slog, Andrew Garfield once against showed why he was a great choice to don the suit.<\/p>\n Available to rent or purchase from Amazon<\/a><\/p>\n The critical panning of Amazing Spider-Man 2 led to a groundbreaking deal between Disney and Sony to share custody of Spider-Man, allowing him to join the MCU proper.<\/p>\n Once again, the role was recast and the continuity wiped clean, with Tom Holland playing a fresh-faced Peter Parker who actually looked high school-aged, rather than like a man in his early 30s.<\/p>\n He debuted in Captain America: Civil War in a small but memorable role that lays the groundwork for 2017\u2019s Homecoming, introducing a mentor relationship between Peter Parker and Tony Stark.<\/p>\n Watch on Disney Plus<\/a><\/p>\n Holland\u2019s first solo outing as Spider-Man sees him face his toughest challenge yet, coming to blows with Michael Keaton\u2019s ruthless villain: The Vulture.<\/p>\n Taking cues from \u201980s teen flicks like Ferris Bueller\u2019s Day Off, it\u2019s a fun ride with some great comedic moments and a small supporting role for Robert Downey Jr\u2019s Iron Man.<\/p>\n Rent or purchase on Amazon<\/a><\/p>\n Holland reprised his role for this epic crossover which sees the Avengers and the Guardians of the Galaxy merge in a brutal confrontation against Thanos and his sinister followers.<\/p>\n As you might expect, Spidey once again sees himself paired up with Iron Man, while also meeting Doctor Strange for the first time \u2013 but certainly not the last.<\/p>\n Watch on Disney Plus<\/a><\/p>\n Picking up after the devastating events of Infinity War, Avengers: Endgame follows the Marvel heroes as they try desperately to revert the actions of Thanos, whatever it takes.<\/p>\n Watch on Disney Plus<\/a><\/p>\n Set shortly after the events of Endgame, Spider-Man: Far From Home is another fun solo adventure for the webslinger, chronicling Peter Parker\u2019s school trip across Europe.<\/p>\n Along the way, he hopes to win over his crush MJ, but that won\u2019t be easy when Nick Fury recruits him to fight a group of elemental monsters, alongside an enigmatic new hero called Mysterio (Jake Gyllenhaal).<\/p>\n And it has a doozy of an ending too that sets the stage for a very different adventure for the web-slinger when he returns \u2013 with potentially some other Peter Parker\u2019s alongside him and a host of returning villains.<\/p>\n Let\u2019s hope the next film can juggle everything on the table better than the last movies that bit off more than they can chew did.<\/p>\n Available to purchase on Amazon<\/a><\/p>\n Peter Parker has found his double life as Spider-Man exposed to the world, changing his life forever and the lives of those he lives with, including girlfriend MJ (Zendaya) and best friend Ned Leeds (Jacob Batalon).<\/p>\n Keen to change the course of his life, Peter turns to Doctor Stephen Strange (Benedict Cumberbatch) to weave a magical spell to alter what has gone before.<\/p>\n In the process, Peter\u2019s world comes under threat from numerous villains \u2013 including ones from the Sam Raimi and Marc Webb timelines as the multiverse is well and truly cracked open.<\/p>\n For more on the film, the rumours of Tobey Maguire and Andrew Garfield returning, and other theories, then see our article here.<\/a><\/p>\n Spider-Man: No Way Home is released in UK cinemas on December 17, 2021.<\/strong><\/p>\n Check out what else is on with our\u00a0TV Guide<\/a>,\u00a0or take a look at our\u00a0new TV shows 2020<\/a>\u00a0page to find out what\u2019s airing this autumn and beyond.<\/b><\/p><\/body><\/html>\n By David Craig Published: Monday, 22 November 2021 at 12:00 am Can you believe it has now been nearly 20 years since Spider-Man got his first outing on the big screen?
