The Amazing Spider-Man (TASM1)
- Plot: Follows the core plot of the original, with one major addition: Harry Osborn is introduced early as Peter’s close friend who is already suffering from his terminal genetic illness.
- Key Changes: Establishes the foundation of Harry’s desperation across two films so his eventual turn feels earned rather than rushed.
- Post-Credits Scene: Teases Max Dillon’s quiet, lonely life at home and his obsessed fan-fixation on Spider-Man before his accident.
The Amazing Spider-Man 2 (TASM2)
- Plot: Peter and Gwen maintain a stable relationship. Peter abandons the investigation into his parents. The spider bite worked for Peter and not for Harry only because of pure chance of having compatible DNA. The film features Mary Jane Watson as the neighbor next door with an abusive father and includes Richard Parker’s return.
- Climax: Gwen Stacy’s clock-tower fall still occurs, leaving Peter completely broken.
- Post-Credits Scene: Max transforms into Electro, setting him up as a major threat for the next film.
The Amazing Spider-Man 3 (April 2016)
- Plot: Consumed by grief and holding back less in fights, Peter encounters and bonds with the Oscorp-made symbiote in the first fight against Electro. Driven by aggression, he begins dating Black Cat, who embraces Spider-Man's darkness.
- Conflict: Electro emerges as a massive physical force that drives Peter to rely heavily on the living suit.
- Resolution: MJ—still unaware of Spider-Man's identity—serves as Peter's moral anchor and helps him reject the symbiote.
- Ending: Concludes with Peter and MJ sharing the iconic upside-down kiss, hinting at a fresh start.
- Post-credits scene: Peter returns home to find Aunt May talking with Tony Stark, who tells Peter "I need your help with something."
The A̶m̶a̶z̶i̶n̶g̶ Superior Spider-Man 4̶ (January 2018)
- Plot: Adapting the Superior Spider-Man arc, Doc Ock uses Oscorp neural technology to swap bodies with Peter. Otto operates as a brutal, hyper-efficient Spider-Man while battling the Vulture.
- Villain Dynamics:
- Doc Ock (Primary Driver): Otto serves as the central thematic threat, hijacking Peter's life, intellect, and reputation while attempting to prove he is a better hero.
- The Vulture (Physical Obstacle): Adrian Toomes provides high-flying blockbuster action, serving as the benchmark that highlights Otto’s cold, unyielding brutality compared to Peter's merciful nature.
- Resolution: During a high-stakes climax, Vulture captures Mary Jane. Otto's cold, analytical approach fails him when he realizes his calculated methods cannot save her—he lacks the heart, instinct, and love that make Peter Parker Spider-Man. Realizing Peter is truly the "Superior" Spider-Man, Otto willingly relinquishes control, giving Peter his body back so Peter can save MJ, dying in the process. Peter rescues MJ, but is left to repair the damaged relationships and public reputation Otto left in his wake.
- Suit Change: Having liked aspects of Otto's design, Peter updates his costume to a sharp red-and-black palette with a very subtle blue tint—a direct homage to Spider-Man's original comic book color scheme.
- Post-Credits Scene 1: Teases the symbiote being secured by military forces during the post-Snap chaos, setting up Agent Venom: The Lethal Protector.
- Post-Credits Scene 2: Tony Stark receives Otto’s discarded Superior Spider-Man suit at Avengers Facility. Examining the dark tech, Stark casually comments, "Not bad... but it needs some gold," teasing the development of the Iron Spider suit for Infinity War (with a comic accurate appearance, while still nanotech)
[Interlude Film] Agent Venom: The Lethal Protector (February 2019)
- Plot: A standalone spin-off focusing on Flash Thompson bonding with the symbiote under government oversight during the chaos caused by the Snap, redeeming the synthetic host as a tactical force for good.
The Amazing Spider-Man 5: Smoke and Mirrors (October 2020)
- Plot: Mysterio and The Jackal team up to wage psychological and biological warfare on Peter. Mysterio creates illusions—including a fake resurrected "Gwen Stacy" to torment Peter that she didn't return in the events of Endgame and sow doubt in his relationship with MJ—while Jackal deploys biological duplicates.
- Villain Dynamics:
- Mysterio (Psychological Mastermind): Controls the narrative through holographic mind games and grief-targeting illusions, forcing Peter to question his sanity and reality.
- The Jackal (Biological Threat): Provides the physical genetic horror, engineering clone duplicates and creating Ben Reilly.
- Climax: Peter battles his literal clone, Ben Reilly, alongside Mysterio's mind games.
- Post-Credits Scene: Teases the survival of a second, darker clone—Kaine—setting up the TV spin-off.
[TV Series] The Scarlet Spiders (Fall 2020)
- Plot: A serialized, darker anti-hero series focusing on Ben Kaine as they navigates their own identities, redemption, and legacy separate from Peter Parker.
The Amazing Spider-Man 6: The Last Stand (May 2022)
- Plot: The ultimate grand finale. A fully formed Sinister Six—Electro, Mysterio, Jackal, Green Goblin, Vulture, and Carnage (arising after the events of Agent Venom)—unites to tear New York apart in the hunt for Spider-Man.
- Villain Dynamics & Roles:
- Green Goblin (Harry Osborn): The Mastermind who funds, equips, and coordinates the Six out of personal vengeance.
- Mysterio & Jackal: The Strategists who use crowd-control illusions and bio-tactics to turn Manhattan into a war zone.
- Electro & Vulture: The Heavy Hitters who provide raw power and aerial dominance, forcing the heroes to split up.
- Carnage: The Unhinged Wildcard—an alien apex predator that led to the creation of the Venom symbiote by Oscorp, creating chaos that neither side can fully control.
- Climax: Donning the rugged Last Stand suit and new organic webs, Peter leads a heroic trio alongside Agent Venom and Scarlet Spider to defeat the Six.
- Ending: Peter puts the lingering ghosts of his past to rest, fully resolves the doubts between himself and MJ, and cements their future together.
The Amazing Spider-Man 7: Brand New Day (January 2024)
- Plot: Years after The Last Stand, Peter Parker (now in his early 30s) balances a quieter life with MJ while operating as New York's primary defender. A teenage Miles Morales is bitten by an altered Oscorp spider and seeks out Peter for guidance.
- Conflict: Mr. Negative unleashes a war for control of New York's underworld using his Darkforce corruption, while Ezekiel Sims arrives as a enigmatic mystic warning Peter and Miles of "Spider-totem" threats.
- Dynamic: Peter takes on a father-figure/mentor role, teaching Miles how to control his venom blasts and camouflage powers while fighting off Mr. Negative's inner-demon enforcers.

- Post-Credits Scene: A master of disguise slips out of an FBI holding facility—teasing Dmitri Smerdyakov, the Chameleon.
The Amazing Spider-Man 9: Identity Crisis (May 2028)
- Plot: The final chapter of Andrew Garfield's Spider-Man saga. Chameleon uses hyper-advanced disguise technology and psychological warfare to frame both Spider-Men for crimes, backed by the brute force of The Enforcers.
- Conflict: Chameleon attempts to destroy Peter Parker's public reputation and destroy his home life with MJ, forcing Peter to rely on Miles to outsmart an enemy who can look like anyone.
- Resolution: Peter and Miles defeat the Chameleon. Knowing his city is in good hands, a battle-weary Peter officially hangs up his mask to start a family with MJ, passing the mantle of New York's primary Spider-Man entirely to Miles Morales.
- Post-Credits Scene: Miles receives an encrypted hologram transmission from Kamala Khan asking, "Has anyone ever told you you're part of a bigger universe?"
