Although Tom Holland did not make his debut as Peter Parker until phase 3 of the Marvel cinematographic universe, he will surely be one of his biggest stars – alongside Robert Downey Jr., Chris Evans, Scarlett Johansson, Chadwick Boseman and Chris Hemsworth. Through a trilogy of solo films and appearances in three major team films (yes, I know that “Civil War” is part of the Captain America series, but come), it arose as the best to play Spider-Man on the big screen, althoughrew Garfield and Tobey Maguire always have their supporters, of course.
With the official announcement that a new Holland film “Spider-Man” entitled “Spider-Man: Brand New Day” is on the way, it is as good as anything to come back to what he has already done. For the purposes of this ranking, we take into account both the films as independent and their use of Spider-Man. This does not mean that a film with very little Spidey will automatically go at the bottom of the list, but it will be a factor in our considerations.
Fortunately, Tom Holland experienced a fairly good history in the MCU, dodging the worst entries while appearing in many of the best.
6. Captain America: Civil War
For many Marvel fans, “Captain America: Civil War” is a favorite of fans. It is essentially a film “Avengers” disguised, with an appropriate co-star role for Iron Man alongside Steve Rogers. When he released in 2016, he felt capital – a major turning point in the biggest story MCU. But watching the film now, it does not hold as well. The arbitrary choice of the sides, the whole situation of the Sokovia agreements, all this seems a little … artificial. However, it is a fun film, and two protruding facts are the beginnings of Chadwick Boseman as the beginning of Black Panther and Tom Holland as Spider-Man.
The two characters are great here, although you get much more substantial material. Spidey really only brought essentially a furtive pilot for his own series, then still to come. But even in his few minutes of screen time, Holland firmly establishes his own brand of Swaggy moviegoers and who speak nervous, convincing moviegoers worldwide that he was right for the role.
There is an argument to make so that this film ranks above here, but because Spider-Man only appears in a few scenes, and because its global grandeur has faded a little over time, it seems just that we start the list with the first appearance of the character in the MCU.
5. Spider-man: Far from home
The intermediate entry into the original Tom Holland “Spider -Man” trilogy is one of the strangest films of the whole MCU – not because it is bad (although some have made arguments against it), but because of its unique position within the greatest franchise. It was both the follow -up of “Avengers: Endgame” and the final film of the Monumental 3 phase, but it is a story from a passage to the fairly tight autonomous age with few links with the MCU Write, with the exception of all Tony Stark mourning.
Holland obtains part of his most interesting part of his equipment here, and it is particularly fun to see him play in front of the MJ of Zendaya while their relationship begins to take off. The film has more than a few surprises to overthrow the typical expectations of such a story, which maintains fresh things, and Mysterio by Jake Gyllenhaal makes a pretty convincing villain.
“Spider-Man: Far from home” ends up being overshadowed by the timeless simplicity of his predecessor and the emotional bomb of his successor, but it is always a solid film, especially if you are mainly listening to the Dutch in particular.
4. Avengers: End of game
Okay, yes, I said at the top that the quantity of “Spider-Man” in a film would have an impact on its ranking on this list, but here is “Avengers: Endgame” above one of the Holland’s own solo films. “Endgame” has even less webhead than “civil war”, and there is an argument to make to make it really correspond here.
But go. It’s “end of game”, all.
It is really the film by Iron Man, and its arcs are closely in Peter’s, which is a case for this to gain a slightly higher place on a list of the Netherlands. It’s also nice to see your Spider-Man neighborhood friendly after a brutal end in “Infinity War”. But the real explanation here is that “endgamous”, for all its pump and indulgent circumstances, is always a really fun film. It has a big weight and has it well, and it is better than the two previous entries on this list.
Is this the one I come back and rewatch all the time? No, and certainly not for its use of Spider-Man. But it is always one of the most important films in the whole MCU, and it is always a great time.
3. Spider-man: Homecoming
“Spider-Man: Homecoming” does not have the explosive crescendos of many other entries on this list, but it is often to its advantage. The film was overshadowed in the climbing of the arms race for superhero cinema, but when it was released, it was a breath of fresh air: an easy and universal blow that everyone seemed to love. It was simple and not controversial – the blockbuster perfect and accessible. And the most important of all, he absolutely nailed Spider-Man himself.
Tom Holland is so endearing here. Although he has certainly built on this particular performance on his subsequent Marvel films, this is where the trow of good will was collected for the first time. In each scene, he just feels RIGHT In the role, and the story remains sufficiently anchored to allow Peter Parker to shake and develop as a person before having to be a star of action.
I almost put this film even higher on this list, just because I think that its simplicity makes it seriously underestimated. This is a film you can come back again and again and have fun as much. But I can’t claim either that there are no better “Spider-Man” films since. For this reason, he stops here at the point of bronze medal.
2. Avengers: Infinity War
I really wanted to put “infinity war” at the top of this list, both because I think it’s the best MCU film, and because Spider-Man by Tom Holland has some of his best documents. In the end, I decided that a Spider-Man film should at the top of the Spider-Man films (what a concept, right?), But “Infinity War” is always so good.
“Endgame” may have been the turn of victory, but this is where the whole premise of the MCU, the multi-Phases accumulation and all the global scenarios have proven that it was worth it. A large part of this falls on Josh Brolin who is running in a fully animated performance as Thanos, but almost all the main characters in the franchise become excellent material here, with Tony Stark and Spider-Man seated in the heart of the film.
“Mr. Stark, I don’t feel so well.”
Did we even know at the time he returned? Yes of course. Holland was still under contract for more films. The truth was obvious. Even again, the relationship between these two characters is the blow, and within two hours more before his death, Spider-Man has excellent scenes.
1. Spider-Man: No time at home
For many, it is THE Final film by Spider-Man. I mean, the three of them, right? This alone would have made “No Way Way Home” an impressive show, but it is much more impressive than the film takes the return of Andrew Garfield and Tobey Maguire and uses them to create a coherent thematic story on sacrifice, make mistakes and exceed your darkest moments.
Holland here has heartbreaking moments like his quest to bring peace to the former bad guys of Spider-Man explode several times on the face. And yet he does not lose sight of the goal. He tries to be a hero, even for the worst people, even when it is incredibly difficult. And when one of these bad guys pushes him over a line, his spider compatriots are there to bring him back from the edge.
The emotional crescendo of this film undoubtedly belongs to Garfield and not to the Holland (you know the play), but that does not harm its performance. It is a large, versatile final rhythm for his character bow through the MCU, the transforming of a junior hero into a full -fledged leader who understands the gravity of the work he does.
We can’t wait to see how Tom Holland’s return to “Spider-Man 4” accumulates the end of “No Way Home”.
