What a complex web we weave when we watch Spider-Man movies online. It's a situation as complicated as the multiverse that Spider-Man found in No Way Home.

Fortunately, a recent change for the better happened, as five more Spider-Man movies joined the four MCU movies that Tom Holland's Peter Parker already appeared in — on Disney Plus. One of the best streaming services out here, Disney's digital hub should have all of them.

Or at least that's what it might feel like, as that's the place watch the Marvel movies in order and watch Star Wars movies as well. But the control over Spider-Man's movies are split between Disney and Sony, so most of the films are across Disney Plus and Starz. A couple, though, live in different areas, and we break it down below.

How to watch Spider-Man movies in chronological order

The interesting thing about the chronology of Spider-Man movies is that the multiverse means that each series has happened on top of each other. So, let's break them all down.

First, we have the Sam Raimi-directed Spider-Man trilogy that started it all. It's all thankfully now on Disney Plus.

Then, we have the two chapters of the Andrew Garfield Spider-Man saga, which take place in their own section of the multiverse.

  • The Amazing Spider-Man 2: Stream on Starz — currently $5 per month for your first three months

Then, we have the modern Spider-Man era, which is split across Disney-owned MCU movies and Sony-owned Spider-Man movies. It's known as the Tom Holland era, and it starts with Captain America: Civil War. It is tied to the Venom and Morbius movies, which are likely each in their own multiverse.
