Cinematically, the character got off on the right foot with Sam Raimi's original Spider-Man in 2002. Raimi himself is an independent-minded, DIY kind of filmmaker, and brought that same rough-around-the-edges ingenuity to the character and caliber of the film. However, much like the comics, it wasn't long before things got out of hand.

Peter Parker’s next cinematic outing is officially titled “Spider-Man: Brand New Day.” The fourquel will begin filming this summer, according to director Destin Daniel Cretton, who announced the production timeline at CinemaCon.
