Spider-Man is a surprisingly broad franchise. The wall-crawler has 10 solo films led by four Spider-Men and three crossover appearances in just over 20 years starring on the big screen.

There will be some mild spoilers as this list contains sequels, so keep that in mind as you read. However, there won't be anything too significant that hasn't been revealed by the film's trailers and marketing.
