The premise of both Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse and Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse is one that’s both clever from a storytelling perspective, and a mirror reflection of our own world: there are infinite superhero stories out there, period, but in particular there seem to be endless depictions of the famed web-slinger (s) and the world that surrounds them. Across the Spider-Verse’s release marked the 13th Spider-Man movie—and that doesn’t even count movies like Captain America: Civil War and Avengers: Infinity War, where the character appeared in a supporting capacity.
The Spider-Man world and lore is so expansive, in fact, that Sony has even begun rolling out movies in his world that don’t even feature the titular hero; that’s where the villain stories like Morbius, Venom, and the upcoming Kraven the Hunter come from. In a way, we all kind of live in the Spider-Verse, whether we realize it or not.
Having said that, there’s a wide range of quality when it comes to these movies. Some of them are great! Some of them are not great. That’s to be expected when we start getting into the double-digit amount of movies, and it’s also why we’re here. We’re not going to agree on everything, but that’s the joy of movies—everyone’s got their own takes, and that counts for Peter Parker, Miles Morales, and all of their friends and foes too.
So, without further ado, here’s our full ranking—only counting the movies where Spider-Man, or one of his villains, is in the lead role—of every Spider-Man movie.
