#James Gunn Ranks His Top 3 Favorite Spider-Man Movies
“#James Gunn Ranks His Top 3 Favorite Spider-Man Movies”
The opinion was posted in response to a Spider-Man movie ranking list on Twitter. We are obviously not counting Spider-Man: No Way Home at this time, as the movie hasn’t been released (and presumably not yet seen by Gunn), so perhaps that top three might change come December. As it stands now, however, James Gunn says the very best Spidey movie is the animated hit Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse, followed by Tobey Maguire’s Spider-Man 2 in second place and Tom Holland’s Spider-Man: Homecoming in the number three spot.
All three are very popular movies with Marvel fans, so this top three ranking seems solid enough. Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse broke boundaries when it was released in theaters in 2018, drawing immense praise from critics and strong box office results. It later won Best Animated Feature at the Academy Awards, making it the first non-Disney/Pixar movie to get an Oscar for Best Animated Feature since Rango. Its storyline about multiple Spider-Men teaming up also seems to have influenced the creative direction of Spider-Man: No Way Home.
The trio of Bob Persichetti, Peter Ramsey, and Rodney Rothman co-directed Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse. Rothman also penned the screenplay with Phil Lord. It puts the Miles Morales incarnation of Spidey front and center, voiced by Shameik Moore, as he opens up the multiverse and meets several other versions of Spider-Man. A sequel is in the works for an October 2022 release with planned spinoffs also in development.
Gunn’s second pick, Spider-Man 2, is the second movie to feature Tobey Maguire as Peter Parker with Alfred Molina’s Doc Ock serving as the main villain. This must also mean that Gunn is quite intrigued by Spider-Man: No Way Home, which includes Doc Ock in a rather substantial role, judging from the trailers. There is even speculation that he’ll somehow be working with Spider-Man, this after figuring out that the young man he is talking to is not the same Peter Parker he knows from his home universe. The sequel was universally praised by fans and was a tremendous hit at the box office, making the sting of Spider-Man 3‘s failures hurt all the more.
Finally, Spider-Man: Homecoming is another great movie that serves as the first solo outing for Tom Holland’s Peter Parker. Holland will be capping off his own trilogy with No Way Home following the previous release of Far From Home, and it’s hard to say what happens next with the web-slinger from here. For his part, Holland has suggested incorporating the live-action Miles Morales, a character made more famous by Into the Spider-Verse, into the MCU.
Spider-Man: No Way Home will be released in theaters on Dec. 17, 2021.
