With Spider-Man No Way Home (2021 Marvel/Sony) in theaters this week we're looking back at all things Spider-Man!

Spider-Man, is a fictional character portrayed by Tobey Maguire that was based on the comic book character of the same name. He was adapted for Sam Raimi's Spider-Man film in 2002, later appearing in two sequels, video games and a television series designed to be set within that continuity, in which he was voiced by Neil Patrick Harris.

Other stars include Willem Dafoe, Kirsten Dunst, James Franco, Cliff Robertson, and Rosemary Harris. The films center on outcast teen genius Peter Parker who develops spider-like superhuman abilities after being bitten by a genetically-altered spider and decides to use his newfound powers to fight crime as Spider-Man.
