Every Tom Holland Spider-Man Movie and MCU Appearance, Charted From ‘Civil War’ to ‘Brand New Day’

Tom Holland’s run as Spider-Man has stretched across nearly a decade of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, and keeping the films and cameos straight has become its own small task for fans catching up before the next release. What began as a single introduction inside someone else’s movie has grown into a run of solo films, Avengers crossovers, and one more chapter still to come this summer.

This rundown walks through every stop on that timeline, from Holland’s first scene as Peter Parker to the newly detailed plans for his fourth solo outing. It also looks at where the character is headed next, since Holland’s Spider-Man is expected to keep showing up in Marvel’s biggest ensemble events for the foreseeable future.

From ‘Civil War’ to ‘Homecoming’, Where Tom Holland’s Spider-Man Movies Began

Holland’s version of the character first appeared in 2016, debuting inside ‘Captain America: Civil War’ before headlining his own film a year later. Since Tom Holland debuted as Spider-Man in the MCU in 2016, some fans immediately named him the best Spider-Man actor, although the debate about who holds that title is still ongoing.

When Marvel and Sony struck their deal to bring the character into the shared universe, the arrangement came with specific terms attached to Holland’s contract. When he was cast as Spider-Man in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, Holland signed a contract that bound him to six MCU movies, and he was also introduced as the guest character in the third Captain America film before appearing in two Avengers movies. He was also the only live-action Spider-Man whose origin story was not repeated when he was first introduced on the big screen, since audiences already understood how Peter Parker got his powers.

‘Spider-Man: Homecoming’ arrived in 2017 as Holland’s proper solo debut. In it, Peter, eager for more missions, balances high school life while investigating arms dealer Adrian Toomes, and with help from his friend Ned, he takes on the Vulture, proving himself as a hero in his Stark designed suit.

The Avengers Crossovers That Expanded His MCU Appearances

Beyond his own trilogy, Holland’s Peter Parker became a fixture of Marvel’s team up events. Marvel produced two Avengers films featuring Holland as Spider-Man, Avengers Infinity War in 2018 and Avengers Endgame in 2019.

Those films carried real consequences into his solo sequel. After fighting alongside and against the Avengers, Peter Parker returns to his normal life as a New York teenager, going to school, hanging out with his best friend, and crushing on a girl, all while dealing with the fallout from what happened to him and everyone else during those events.

Those ensemble appearances were never treated as optional detours. They fulfilled the multi picture commitment built into his original deal and tied his personal story directly into the larger fate of the Avengers, giving his solo films emotional weight that a standalone franchise would not have carried on its own.

‘Far From Home’ and ‘No Way Home’ Close Out the First Trilogy

‘Spider-Man: Far From Home’ picked up shortly after ‘Endgame’, with Peter still processing loss while trying to have a normal summer. After serving with the Avengers and being returned from the Blip, Peter Parker wishes to go on a normal school trip to Europe without worrying about Spider-Man duties while grieving the death of his mentor Tony Stark, but his vacation is threatened with the appearance of elemental beasts and Nick Fury, who tasks Spider-Man with stopping the creatures alongside the supposed multiversal traveler known as Mysterio.

That film’s ending set up ‘Spider-Man: No Way Home’, which brought Holland’s Peter Parker together with two other actors who had played the role before him. Tom Holland’s Spider-Man teamed up with two more Spider-Men from earlier films to defeat Green Goblin and several other well known villains played by returning actors.

The film became one of the defining box office events of its era. The multiverse in No Way Home, featuring Tobey Maguire and Andrew Garfield, broke box office records, grossing over 1.9 billion dollars worldwide.

Its final act also reshaped the character going forward. After Doctor Stephen Strange’s spell at the end of the film, the world completely forgot Peter Parker ever existed, setting up a very different status quo for whatever came next.

What’s Next for ‘Spider-Man Brand New Day’ and Beyond

That memory altering ending directly sets up ‘Spider-Man: Brand New Day’, which is scheduled to be released in the United States on July 31, 2026, as part of Phase Six of the MCU, with Peter Parker having spent four years anonymously protecting New York City while investigating a powerful new threat and undergoing a surprising and potentially dangerous evolution in his own abilities.

Destin Daniel Cretton directs the film, and the cast includes Tom Holland, Zendaya, Sadie Sink, Jacob Batalon, Jon Bernthal, Tramell Tillman, Michael Mando, and Mark Ruffalo.

The production was not without complications along the way. Filming was paused for a week after Holland suffered a concussion on set, before production ultimately wrapped on December 19, 2025. Around the film’s rollout, director Cretton also spoke with Empire about the approach he took to the character, and the outlet reported the film aims to center classic elements of the hero in a way earlier MCU installments had not.

Holland’s future beyond ‘Brand New Day’ is already mapped out through Marvel’s next ensemble chapter. He is expected to appear as Spider-Man in Avengers Doomsday, with Peter set to return again for the follow up event after that. Between a solo film built around forgotten identity and villains no one can see, and another multi hero showdown waiting on the other side of it, Holland’s Peter Parker is once again standing at the center of Marvel’s biggest storylines, and it is worth asking how fans think this new chapter will reshape ‘Spider-Man’ before he swings into ‘Avengers: Doomsday’.
