Spider-Man | The History of Marvel's Web-Slinger

Spider-Man has been appearing in movies since way back in the 1970s!

Super-strength and durability. Super-speed, agility and reflexes. Wall-crawling abilities. Web-slinging. The Spider-Sense. And a catalogue of witty one-liners - it's really not difficult to understand why Spider-Man is such a popular character.


The Webbed Wonder is by far Marvel's most recognisable superhero - and there's probably only Batman and Superman from DC who can claim to be anywhere near as iconic as him - so it should come as no surprise that he's appeared in well over a dozen movies on the big screen over the years.


He's been portrayed by some great actors as well - including Tobey Maguire, Andrew Garfield and, most recently, Tom Holland - and the future's looking very bright for him in the Marvel Cinematic Universe as well (in spite of the fact that he's currently dead!).


In this documentary, we'll be taking a look at the history of Spider-Man in film.


He's appeared in more movies than you might realise! The movies in question are; Spider-Man (1977), Spider-Man Strikes Back (1978), Spider-Man: The Dragon's Challenge (1981), Spider-Man (1978), Spider-Man (2002), Spider-Man 2 (2004), Spider-Man 3 (2007), Marvel Super Heroes 4D (2010), The Amazing Spider-Man (2012), Phineas and Ferb: Mission Marvel (2013), The Amazing Spider-Man 2 (2014), Captain America: Civil War (2016), Spider-Man: Homecoming (2017), Avengers: Infinity War (2018), Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse (2018) and he'll appear in the upcoming Avengers: Endgame (2019) and Spider-Man: Far From Home (2019).
