Tobey Maguire was the first actor to bring Spider-Man to the big screen. Bringing the origin story of Peter Parker, Sam Raimi's Spider-Man universe took the superhero movies to the next level, cementing its place in celluloid forever.
Maguire portrayed the role in Spider-Man (2002), Spider-Man 2 (2004) and Spider-Man 3 (2007) as well as Spider-Man: No Way Home (2021).
Andrew Garfield

After Sam Raimi's Spider-Man trilogy, Sony created a new Spidey franchise with director Marc Webb and breakout star Andrew Garfield.
Garfield played the superhero in The Amazing Spider-Man in 2012 and 2014. While the first part was a hit, the second didn't impress the audience that much.

After years of hiatus, the world got a new Spider-Man again, but not in a new movie, but when Holland made his debut and joined Iron Man/Tony Stark (Played by Robert Downey Jr) and the Avengers clan in the movie Captain America: Civil War. A year after his debut, his first solo film, Spider-Man: Homecoming, was released.
Holland reprised the role again in Spider-Man: Far From Home and Spider-Man: No Way Home.
