Spider-Man actor Tom Holland has picked his favorite Spider-Man movie – but it’s not one of his MCU efforts.

"I think the first Spider-Verse movie is the best Spider-Man movie that’s ever been made," Holland told The Associated Press (via Variety). Holland has appeared as the webhead in three solo movies: Spider-Man: Homecoming, Spider-Man: Far From Home, and Spider-Man: No Way Home.

He continued, "I’m so proud of everyone involved. [Sony producer] Amy Pascal is like my mom. I was supposed to go with her [to the premiere] as her date, I couldn’t go because I’m here working [for The Crowded Room]. But I’m incredibly proud of them, I’m excited for the second one. I’m sure it will live up to every expectation, and I can’t wait to see it."

He isn’t wrong. Across the Spider-Verse lived up to expectations – and then some. The animated sequel has grossed over $200m worldwide on its opening weekend, with a near-350% increase on the original’s opening.

We're all gearing up for a sequel after the shocking Across the Spider-Verse ending. Luckily for wallcrawlers everywhere, the wait isn’t a long one: Beyond the Spider-Verse swings into cinemas on March 29, 2024.

Next up for Tom Holland is The Crowded Room, an Apple thriller that sees the Spidey actor play Danny Sullivan, a man in '70s New York accused of a shooting. As seen from the first trailer, the mystery begins to unravel – and investigator Rya Goodwin (Amanda Seyfried) begins to question his motives, history, and unsettling gaps in his memory. The series premieres on June 9.

For our own take on the Spidey-Rankings, here’s our list of the best Spider-Man movies. For more on Across the Spider-Verse and its tangled web of theories, shocks, and surprises, check out our spoiler guides below:

Senior Entertainment Writer

I'm the Senior Entertainment Writer here at GamesRadar+, focusing on news, features, and interviews with some of the biggest names in film and TV. On-site, you'll find me marveling at Marvel and providing analysis and room temperature takes on the newest films, Star Wars and, of course, anime. Outside of GR, I love getting lost in a good 100-hour JRPG, Warzone, and kicking back on the (virtual) field with Football Manager. My work has also been featured in OPM, FourFourTwo, and Game Revolution.
