History

Historical Context

Sam Raimi’s 2002 Spider-Man launch, directed by Raimi and starring Tobey Maguire, proved a global hit and helped cement the modern superhero blockbuster, later expanding into a $2.5 billion trilogy that included the $795.9 million-grossing Spider-Man 2 (2004). Building on that legacy, Sony and Marvel plan the July 31 2026 release of Spider-Man: Brand New Day with Tom Holland as the new lead.
