Tom Holland’s Favorite Spider-Man Movie Isn’t Even Set In The MCU

There have been plenty of Spider-Man movies, with each giving fans a different take on the beloved wall-crawler. But, even with subsequent films adding to the Spider-Man mythos, «Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse» reigns supreme at the top, at least for some actors who the webhead to life.

When asked by WatchMojo if he’d be willing to appear in «Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse,» Andrew Garfield instead took the time to praise its predecessor, saying, «I loved that first movie. I love all the movies, like I love Tom Holland’s movies, the Jon Watts movies. I love the ‘Spider-Verse’ movie. I thought it was just incredibly inventive. I watched that three times.»

Similarly, Yuri Lowenthal, the voice behind Peter Parker in Insomniac Games’ «Spider-Man,» spoke to Comic Book at the «Across the Spider-Verse» premiere, singing the highest praise for «Into the Spider-Verse» in his interview. «I love it. That first movie is one of my favorite movies of all time,» Lowenthal said. 

Given the many messages of «Into the Spider-Verse,» including accepting yourself, finding strength in those around you, and that anyone can wear the mask, it’s understandable for the animated movie to claim the top spot on most Spidey’s lists. But it begs the question: will anyone, Marvel Studios and Sony alike, ever successfully top «Into the Spider-Verse» as the best Spider-Man movie?
