Seventeen films across five universes, and only one place where they genuinely have to be watched in order.

Where to start with Spider-Man

There is no chronological order here, because these are five parallel universes rather than five eras. Pick a set and watch it in release order, and the only real decision is which one to start with.

  1. 1
    Spider-Man (2002) Spider-Man

    The one that made all of this possible, and still the most straightforward telling of the origin. Nothing before it, and a later film brings its version of the character back.

  2. 2
    Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse (2018) Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse

    Animated, self-contained, and the best-reviewed film in the whole franchise. It needs nothing else and it explains its own multiverse as it goes.

  3. 3
    Spider-Man: Homecoming (2017) Spider-Man: Homecoming

    The Marvel Studios run, which starts after Captain America: Civil War and leans on the wider MCU more than any other version does. Four films, and the third one gathers up the other two universes.

Then what? Finish whichever set you started, then take the others. The one place a strict per-set order breaks is Sony's own universe: the mid-credits scene of Venom: Let There Be Carnage has to be seen before No Way Home, and No Way Home before Venom: The Last Dance, because those three run one continuous thread across two studios. Beyond the Spider-Verse is dated 18 June 2027.

A suggested way in, not an official one. The full list is below — tick anything off in either place.

Sync & backup

Your progress is saved on this device automatically. To carry it to another device, move the code below.

The code holds only this franchise. The link opens the tracker with your progress already filled in — good for showing someone where you're at. The image is a picture you can keep anywhere: scan the code on it with a phone, or drag the file back in below.

Drag a SagaList image here, or .

This reads the progress stored inside the picture, so nothing has to be retyped. If the image has been through a messaging app it may have been re-encoded and lost that — scan the code on it instead, or copy the code printed along the bottom.

Restoring replaces the progress currently saved on this device for the franchise the code belongs to.
