One of the most popular superheroes in the Marvel universe is multiplying on Netflix with 4 films and therefore 4 different interpretations of Peter Parker, available for streaming: Spider-Man: New Generation, Spider-Man: Far From Home, The Amazing Spider-Manas well as the Spiderman by Sam Raimi.
Like many on-screen superheroes, Spider-Man has donned many faces to weave his web, over the decades. And precisely: Netflix has just added new films with Peter Parker, to watch on the streaming platform.
Please note: this selection is obviously non-exhaustive, the Spider-Man filmography being as large as the multiverse (without any exaggeration, of course).
Spider-Man: New Generation on Netflix, the superhero with many faces
Parodying the character of Spider-Man while paying homage to him in the most beautiful way, perpetuating his legacy to perfection: this is the largely successful bet of New Generationwhich quite simply had the effect of a bomb when it was released in 2018. This animated film full of references to pop culture, which even grants itself the luxury of making fun of clichés about superheroes , offers us a little journey into the multiverse, Spider-Man version.
Alongside Miles Morales, an African-American teenager, we discover the thousand and one lives of Peter Parker in an ultra-colorful universe, which leaves us no second of respite. A peak of inventiveness and humor, including the sequel, Across the Spider-Versehas achieved the feat of hitting even harder, in 2023. We might as well tell you that we are waiting with great impatience for the third and final part of the saga, Beyond the Spider-Versewhich promises to be a new fireworks display for the eyes, as well as for the ears.
Spider-Man: Far From Home on Netflix, the traveling superhero
After a very successful first part, named Homecomingactor Tom Holland (Uncharted) put on the Spider-Man costume again in Far From Home. Probably become the most famous face in the Spider-Man universe, notably thanks to his presence in the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU), this version of Peter Parker takes us far, very far from home, for a little trip to Europe with friends. But, obviously, the teenager will have to reluctantly fulfill his superheroic missions, while creature attacks ravage the continent.
So we treat ourselves to a little trip to London or Prague with Spider-Man: Far From Homewho has the heavy task of moving on just after the events ofAvengers: Endgame. A bit confusing, this new adventure of Peter Parker still has the merit of amusing us, remaining a dazzling visual spectacle. It’s not the best Spider-Man, far from it, but just for the beautiful eyes of Jake Gyllenhaal (Prisoners) in Mysterio, we ask for more.
The Amazing Spider-Man on Netflix, the superhero in love
Before Tom Holland in the role of Spider-Man, there was obviously Andrew Garfield (By order of God), the most adorable version of the superhero, who reveals himself to be more vulnerable and endearing than ever. We find the origins of the myth there, with the famous bite of the radioactive creature, as well as a truly successful fight against The Lizard.
Unfortunately considered a failure, notably because of its disastrous sequel, The Amazing Spider-Man still finds a different tone from other variations around this iconic superhero. It must be admitted that the duo formed by Andrew Garfield and the solar Emma Stone (La La Land) in the role of Gwen Stacy has a lot to do with our affection for this imperfect, but touching, fantasy teen movie.

Spiderman on Netflix, the original superhero
We end this selection by returning to the basics: those established by Sam Raimi in 2002, with the performance of Tobey Maguire (Extrapolations) in the main role, and the presence of Willem Dafoe (The crime of the Orient Express), at the top in the role of the Green Goblin, simply the best antagonist in this universe.
First film to feature Spider-Man, Spiderman shines with the inspired production of Sam Raimi (Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness), who will continue to put his stamp on the following two parts, until 2007. This precursor of the MCU and The Dark Knight thus made it possible to show the way, with a blockbuster-style narration, tinged with arthouse cinema. An extremely solid saga, which has not aged, 20 years later.
