The Marvel Cinematic Universe Spider-Man movie order
As noted above, Spider-Man first appeared in the Marvel Cinematic Universe in 2016. This was in the film, Captain America: Civil War.
In Captain America: Civil War, Tony Stark/Iron Man recruits Peter Parker to join his team of Avengers. Equipped with a new costume courtesy of Stark, Parker fights against Captain America’s team of Avengers in a large battle between various Marvel heroes.
Following his inclusion in Captain America: Civil War, Spider-Man made his next appearance in the Spidey-solo film, Spider-Man: Homecoming (2017). This movie focuses on Peter Parker’s high school adventures and his encounters with the villainous Vulture.
For his third appearance, Spider-Man becomes an Avenger in Avengers: Infinity War (2018) and finds himself caught up in a battle to save the universe from the tyrannical Thanos. Spider-Man fights alongside the likes of Iron Man, Doctor Strange and Star-Lord, but becomes a victim of ‘The Snap’ – a devastating event which wipes out half of the population of the universe.
The next time Spider-Man appears in the MCU is via Avengers: Endgame (2019). Here he is revived to join forces with every major super hero in the MCU, to stop Thanos for good.
Following his resurrection in Avengers: Endgame, Spidey appears in the solo film, Spider-Man: Far From Home (2019). This is another high school adventure – albeit via a field trip – and sees Spidey trading blows with Mysterio.
His next appearance is in Spider-Man: No Way Home (2021), followed by Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness (2022).
