The original trilogy of Spider-Man films concluded in 2007, with Tobey Maguire’s version of the web-slinger burying his best friend, Harry, and potentially reconnecting with his love, Mary Jane Watson (Kirsten Dunst). There was supposed to be a fourth movie, but it never materialized, leaving fans of that trilogy with little closure.

Instead, Sony rebooted Spidey in 2012 with a new guy at the lead, Andrew Garfield. The responses to his movies were middling at best, and his saga ended after “Amazing Spider-Man 2,” which left his version of Peter in a dark place, mourning the death of his girlfriend, Gwen Stacy. Fans of that would-be trilogy didn’t get any closure either.

That is, until the Tom Holland version of Spider-Man got himself in a little multiversal trouble and accidentally brought the two past versions of Spider-Man into the Marvel Cinematic Universe, along with some of their most famous villains in “Spider-Man: No Way Home,” aka the highest-grossing film of 2021.
