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 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:
