All Actors Who Have Played Spider-Man, Ranked

Garfield starred in what may be the most forgotten series on the hero, “The Amazing Spider-Man.” After the cancelation of “Spider-Man 4” with Tobey McGuire the franchise took a five-year hiatus, returning with Garfield as the main man. By normal film standards, the two movies did well at the box office but were the lowest grossing films in the live-action Spider-Man world. Since Spider-Man, Garfield has acted in several films, TV series and plays.

Taccone briefly plays a version of the hero in a post-credit scene in “Spider-Verse.” He takes on the role as Spider-Man from a 1960s version of the cartoon that has since gained viral notoriety as the meme of two Spider-Men pointing at each other (yes, that meme). Taccone is most known for his work as a comedian. He is one-third of the sketch comedy group Lonely Island.

At one point in “Into the Spider-Verse” parallel universes begin to collide, and we are introduced to several other versions of the hero from different worlds. Kimiko Glenn plays Peni Parker, who comes from an anime inspired part of the Spider-Verse. She’s a small girl who’s proficient in robotics and fights in a Spider-Man style robot. Glenn has appeared in a number of other works including “Orange is the New Black.”

Oscar Isaac has a brief post-credit scene as a Spider-Man from some distant future. Rumors are swirling if he’ll appear in the second installment in the “Spider-Verse.” Isaac has numerous acting credits under his belt including a heralded performance in “Ex Machina.” He recently starred in the role as Duke Leto Atreides in “Dune” and has a lot more on the way, including starring in a film adaptation of the video game series “Metal Gear Solid.”

In one parallel area of the Spider-Verse exists a world of noir detective superheroes. Nicolas Cage stars in the black and white Spider-Man Noir. Cage has been dragged for many, many bad movies but he’s also played in some classics like “Leaving Las Vegas.” He’s known for his live-action acting but he’s also done a decent amount of voice work over the years.

Chris Pine stars as the original Spider-Man, Peter Parker. However, the aging hero starts to run into problems of his own and needs a little help from other similar heroes. Chris Pine’s biggest recurring role has been as Captain Kirk in the recent “Star Trek” film series. He also played the role of Steve Trevor in “Wonder Woman” and “Wonder Woman 1984.” He’s set to star in another Star Trek film slated for release in 2023.

Comedian and actor John Mulaney took on a (semi) serious role as anthropomorphic pig Spider-Ham in “Spider-Verse.” He’s also reprised the role in several shorts but there’s no word on whether he and the other spiders of the spider-verse will return for the sequel. In the meantime, Mulaney has stayed busy as a writer, comedian, and actor. He worked on “Saturday Night Live” from 2008 to 2014 and is a producer and voice actor on the show “Big Mouth.”

Jake Johnson plays a version of Spider-Man who, after 22 years, is now down on his luck. His relationship with Mary Jane has fallen apart and now he’s living as a depressed and penniless middle-aged man. Besides the webslinger, Johnson has starred in the TV comedy “New Girl” alongside Zoey Deschanel. He’s also acted in a range of other movies including “Jurassic World” and the 2017 edition of “The Mummy.”

Shameik Moore voices Miles Morales in “Into the Spider-Verse.” Morales is a normal NYC kid until one day he’s bitten by a radioactive spider. However, Spider-Man already exists in his world and things start to get a bit strange when experimental science weakens the fabric between parallel universes. Moore is a musician, dancer, and actor whose first big role was in the Netflix movie “Dope.” He’s once again taking on the lead role as Miles Morales in the Spider-Verse sequel.

The man who started it all. Tobey Maguire was the first Spider-Man on the Hollywood big screen. After three Spider-Man films, Maguire hung up the tights. He hasn’t been as active in recent years but also starred in “Seabiscuit” during the height of his fame. He’s slated to appear in the upcoming film “Babylon,” which will star Brad Pitt and Margot Robbie.

The current face of the franchise, Tom Holland first appeared as Spider-Man in “Captain America: Civil War” in 2016. From there he got to take on the lead role of the hero in “Spider-Man: Homecoming.” He then appeared as Spidey in two more Avengers movies and another self-titled one. His next film, “Spider-Man: No Way Home” was released in December 2021. Holland got his start in movies voice acting for the British English dub of the Japanese animated film “The Secret World of Arrietty.”
