Spider-Man has a full slate of releases in 2026, with animated and live-action series. The biggest release of the year is 'Spider-Man: Brand New Day', a major MCU event featuring the return of Spider-Man. 'Spider-Noir' on Disney+ and 'Spider-Man Noir' on Prime Video are highly anticipated too. The animated series 'Spider-Man Noir' promises a new take on the original Marvel story.
2026 is a major year for Spider-Man , with multiple TV shows and a movie on his schedule, and one of those exciting Marvel series is so good that it has already been renewed for two more seasons.
There is no doubt that the wall-crawler's biggest release this year is Spider-Man: Brand New Day, which marks the return of Tom Holland's Spider-Man franchise. The movie will be a major street-level event for the Marvel Studios shared universe, with the MCU bringing in multiple heroes and villains to help and battle Spider-Man. Aside from his big-screen adventure, Spider-Man is also the star of three TV shows that air in 2026.
Two of them are animated, while the other is an anticipated live-action Marvel series. That would be Prime Video's Spider-Noir, which will be released on the streaming service on May 27. The live-action show focuses on Nicolas Cage's Ben Reilly, presenting a new take on Marvel Comics' Spider-Man Noir. That said, it is not the hit Spider-Man series that has already been renewed for two more seasons.
That project can be watched on Disney+ instead. ScreenRant.com | Web Archives Interactive Quiz ScreenRant/ Marvel/ Spider-Man/ Trivia Friendly Neighborhood Assessment · MCU Era Tom Holland's Spider-Man Trivia 🏠Homecoming2017 ✈️Far From Home2019 🌌No Way Home2021 😈VillainsSinister… 🤖MCUAvengers THWIP! LET'S GO → QUESTION 1 / 8MCU 01 Before getting his own solo film, Tom Holland’s Peter Parker made his Marvel Cinematic Universe debut by being recruited by Tony Stark to help in a massive superhero conflict.
In which MCU film did Holland first appear as Spider-Man? AAvengers: Age of Ultron BCaptain America: Civil War CSpider-Man: Homecoming DAvengers: Infinity War ✓ Correct! Tom Holland first appeared as Spider-Man in Captain America: Civil War , where Tony Stark visits Peter in Queens and recruits him for the airport battle against Team Cap. His quippy, starstruck portrayal instantly won over audiences.
✗ Web miss! The answer is Captain America: Civil War. Holland debuted in the 2016 film before Homecoming . He was recruited by Tony Stark for the iconic airport fight scene, stealing Captain America’s shield with his webs in one of the film’s most memorable moments.
NEXT → QUESTION 2 / 8HOMECOMING 02 In Spider-Man: Homecoming, Peter faces a blue-collar salvage contractor who turned to arms dealing after being shut out of the Chitauri cleanup by Damage Control. Using an alien-tech wingsuit, he becomes one of Spider-Man’s most grounded villains. Who is he? AThe Vulture BThe Shocker CThe Scorpion DThe Tinkerer ✓ Correct!
Adrian Toomes, played brilliantly by Michael Keaton, is the Vulture — a working-class father who builds a criminal empire selling alien-derived weapons. The twist that he’s the father of Peter’s date Liz is one of the MCU’s best surprises. ✗ Web miss! The answer is The Vulture .
The Shocker and Tinkerer are his henchmen in the film, and Scorpion only briefly appears. Toomes is the main antagonist who personally confronts Peter in the unforgettable car ride scene.
NEXT → QUESTION 3 / 8HOMECOMING 03 Tony Stark built Peter a high-tech suit loaded with features Peter didn’t even know about, including an AI assistant that helps him in combat, provides tactical analysis, and even gives dating advice. What name does Peter give this AI? AFriday BEdith CKaren DJocasta ✓ Correct! Peter names his suit’s AI “Karen,” voiced by Jennifer Connelly.
She assists him with web shooter modes, reconnaissance, and even his love life. Friday is Tony Stark’s AI, and E.D. I.T. H. is the Stark satellite system that appears in Far From Home.
✗ Web miss! The answer is Karen. Friday is Tony Stark’s personal AI, E.D. I.T.
H. is the Stark defense satellite Peter inherits in Far From Home, and Jocasta is an AI from the comics. Karen, voiced by Jennifer Connelly, is Peter’s suit assistant throughout Homecoming.
NEXT → QUESTION 4 / 8FAR FROM HOME 04 In Spider-Man: Far From Home, Peter encounters a seemingly heroic figure who claims to be from an alternate Earth, battling elemental creatures across Europe. In reality, he’s a disgruntled former Stark Industries employee using advanced holographic drones. What is his real name? AWilliam Ginter Riva BAldrich Killian CJustin Hammer DQuentin Beck ✓ Correct!
Quentin Beck, played by Jake Gyllenhaal, is Mysterio — a master of illusion who uses Stark Industries’ B.A.R. F. holographic technology and weaponized drones to fabricate the Elementals and pose as a hero. His final act of revenge shapes the entire third film. ✗ Web miss!
The answer is Quentin Beck. William Ginter Riva is one of Beck’s team members, Aldrich Killian is the villain of Iron Man 3, and Justin Hammer is from Iron Man 2. Beck is Mysterio, the illusionist who manipulated Peter’s trust across Europe.
NEXT → QUESTION 5 / 8FAR FROM HOME 05 In one of the MCU’s most shocking mid-credits scenes, J. Jonah Jameson broadcasts doctored footage from Mysterio’s final moments that completely upends Peter Parker’s life. What does this broadcast reveal to the entire world? AThat Spider-Man killed Mysterio in cold blood BThat Spider-Man is Peter Parker CThat Spider-Man is a Skrull impersonator DThat Spider-Man commanded the drone attack on London ✓ Correct! Mysterio’s doctored footage, broadcast by J. Jonah Jameson , exposes Spider-Man’s identity as Peter Parker to the entire world. This revelation drives the entire plot of No Way Home as Peter desperately seeks to undo the damage. ✗ Web miss! The answer is that Spider-Man is Peter Parker.
While the footage also frames Spider-Man for the London drone attack, the earth-shattering reveal is Peter’s unmasked identity being broadcast globally by The Daily Bugle’s J. Jonah Jameson. NEXT → QUESTION 6 / 8NO WAY HOME 06 With his identity exposed and his loved ones under threat, Peter seeks help from a powerful sorcerer to cast a spell that would make the world forget he is Spider-Man. Peter’s constant modifications to the spell cause it to fracture the multiverse.
Which sorcerer casts this spell? AWong BWanda Maximoff CDoctor Strange DKarl Mordo ✓ Correct! Doctor Strange casts the memory-wiping spell at Peter’s request, but Peter keeps asking for exceptions — for MJ, Ned, May, and Happy to still remember him. These constant changes corrupt the spell and tear open the multiverse, pulling in villains from other Spider-Man universes.
✗ Web miss! The answer is Doctor Strange. While Wong is the Sorcerer Supreme and actually warns Strange against it, it is Stephen Strange who agrees to cast the spell. Wanda’s multiverse interference occurs in Multiverse of Madness, not here.
NEXT → QUESTION 7 / 8MCU 07 Throughout all three films, Peter’s loyal best friend serves as his “guy in the chair,” helping with tech support and keeping his secret. In No Way Home, this character even discovers he can open magical portals using a Sling Ring. Who is Peter’s best friend? ANed Leeds BFlash Thompson CHarry Osborn DMiles Morales ✓ Correct!
Ned Leeds, played by Jacob Batalon, is Peter’s best friend and self-proclaimed “guy in the chair. ” He discovers Peter’s secret identity in Homecoming, supports him across all three films, and in No Way Home he accidentally uses Doctor Strange’s Sling Ring to open portals to other Spider-Men. ✗ Web miss! The answer is Ned Leeds.
Flash Thompson is Peter’s rival and bully who ironically idolizes Spider-Man. Harry Osborn is Peter’s friend in the Raimi and Webb films but doesn’t appear in Holland’s trilogy. Miles Morales is only hinted at. Ned is the irreplaceable “guy in the chair.
” NEXT → QUESTION 8 / 8NO WAY HOME 08 At the emotional climax of No Way Home, Peter makes an enormous personal sacrifice to save the multiverse. Doctor Strange completes the spell, and when it takes effect, Peter is left completely alone. What does the final spell do?
AIt sends Peter to an alternate universe where no one knows him BIt erases Spider-Man from existence entirely CIt removes Peter’s spider powers permanently DIt makes everyone in every universe forget who Peter Parker is ✓ Correct! The final spell makes every person in every universe forget that Peter Parker exists. MJ, Ned, Happy, the Avengers — everyone. Peter visits MJ at the coffee shop afterward but decides not to re-introduce himself, choosing to protect them.
He starts over completely alone, sewing his own suit in a small apartment. ✗ Web miss! The answer is that everyone forgets who Peter Parker is. The spell doesn’t erase Spider-Man — people still know the hero exists — but nobody remembers Peter Parker the person.
This devastating sacrifice means MJ, Ned, and even Happy Hogan have no memory of him at all. REVEAL MY SCORE → Assessment Complete Your Spider-Sense Rating / 8 Are you an Avenger — or just a friendly neighborhood bystander? ↻ SWING AGAIN Two animated Spider-Man series air in 2026, with one of them being Your Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man season 2.
The show, which follows an alternate universe version of Holland's Spider-Man, will introduce exciting characters like Venom and Gwen Stacy in its sophomore season. However, it is Spidey and his Amazing Friends, which is geared to younger viewers, that will return for two more seasons. Spidey And His Amazing Friends Is Already Renewed For Two More Seasons Spidey and his Amazing Friends presents a vibrant take on the wider Marvel universe for kids.
The show pulls characters from all over the franchise, with Peter Parker as Spider-Man, Miles Morales as Spin, and Gwen Stacy as Ghost-Spider leading the animated series. Spidey and his Amazing Friends season 4 is rolling out in 2026, with 19 episodes released so far.
Before season 4 even aired, the show was renewed for season 5 on February 25 by Disney, with Spidey and his Amazing Friends' season 6 renewal being revealed through a Variety report around a week before season 5 debuted. The animated Spider-Man series has something on its belt that not even the MCU's popular shows have managed to achieve. Spidey and his Amazing Friends was the only Marvel series on 2025's Billion Hours Club at Disney+.
Surprisingly, no other Marvel movie or TV show made the cut, showing just how strong a performer the preschool superhero series truly is. Based on that level of success, it makes sense that Spidey and his Amazing Friends would be renewed for seasons 5 and 6 before the fourth even started airing. The future is bright for this charming Spider-Man series.
The Spider-Man Animated Series Should Not End Anytime Soon Spidey and his Amazing Friends can keep going on for a long time, surpassing even its two-season renewal status. After all, there is still so much that the show could explore with the rich collection of Marvel heroes and villains at its disposal. The Spider-Man series is a gateway project for young viewers, serving as the first exposure to Marvel lore for many.
Captain America, The Thing, Green Goblin, Doc Ock, and several other characters have already appeared on the show, but the door remains wide open for Spidey and his Amazing Friends to come up with creative Marvel additions.

Additionally, the wider universe based on the Marvel series has only just begun. Iron Man and His Awesome Friends, the first Spider-Man animated series spinoff, debuted on August 11, 2025, so the franchise is starting to grow. That has also led to the crossover project Spidey and Iron Man: Avengers Team-Up! — featuring heroes like the Hulk, Black Panther, Ms. Marvel, and Captain America .
As such, the Spider-Man series success is likely to present itself as way more than just the two more seasons it is already renewed for. 20 7.4/10 Spidey and His Amazing Friends 10 stars 9 stars 8 stars 7 stars 6 stars 5 stars 4 stars 3 stars 2 stars 1 star Like Follow Followed TV-Y Kids Animation Comedy Action Adventure Release Date August 6, 2021 Network Disney Channel, Disney Junior Directors Chris Moreno Cast See All Powered by Expand Collapse
