The live-action Spider-Man movies are getting more time to shine on the big screen.
Per the Cinemark listings, it’s come to light that Sam Raimi’s Spider-Man trilogy, the Amazing Spider-Man films, and Tom Holland’s MCU trilogy will all be coming back to theaters in 2024. The movies returning to theaters is a part of Sony’s celebration of the 100th anniversary of Columbia Pictures. They will be popping back up in theaters in the same order they were originally released, beginning in April and going through June.

What Will Be the Next Live-Action Spider-Man Movie?
The movies from the past are coming to theaters at a time when the future of Spider-Man on the big screen isn’t entirely clear. It’s expected that Tom Holland will return for another movie, as Holland teased last November that there were active conversations happening with Sony about coming back for a new film. He suggested that the hold-up is due to waiting for the right idea to be presented for his return, as he wants the follow-up to No Way Home to be a movie that feels worthy.

“I feel very protective over Spider-Man,” Holland told Collider. “I feel very, very lucky that we were able to work on a franchise that got better with each movie, that got more successful with each movie, which I think is really rare, and I want to protect his legacy. So, I won’t make another one for the sake of making another one. It will have to be worth the while of the character.”
Meanwhile, there have been reports of a live-action film centered on Miles Morales happening as part of the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Franchise producer Amy Pascal has suggested that the film will happen, but not until after work has finished on the planned fourth film starring Tom Holland, as well as the next animated sequel, Spider-Man: Beyond the Spider-Verse. Because neither of these films has a set release date, it could be a while before the Miles Morales movie sees the light of day.

Spider-Man
Since his first appearance in 1962, Spider-Man has almost always been Marvel Comics’ most popular character. Known for his sense of humor and bad luck as well as his selflessness and super-strength, Spider-Man has helmed countless titles over the years, Spider-Man’s most prominent comics include The Amazing Spider-Man, Web of Spider-Man, and Peter Parker, The Spectacular Spider-Man.
Peter Parker was the original Spider-Man but the Spider-Verse has become an important part of the character’s lore in recent years. Multiversal and future Spider-Men include Miles Morales, Spider-Gwen, Miguel O’Hara and Peter Porker, the Spectacular Spider-Ham. This provided the premise for the popular Spider-Verse film trilogy, which makes Miles its primary hero.
Spider-Man is also the basis of several live-action film franchises and numerous animated television series. He is one of the most recognizable characters in the world. While he’s changed a lot over the decades, Steve Ditko and Stan Lee gave the world an unforgettable hero when they created Spider-Man.
