Spider-Man is a fictional character who has been adapted in various media including television shows, films, toys, stage shows, books, and video games.

Television

Spider-Man has been adapted to television many times, as a short-lived live-action television series, a Japanese tokusatsu series, and several animated cartoon series. There were also the "Spidey Super Stories" segments on the PBS educational series The Electric Company,^[1] which featured a Spider-Man (played by Danny Seagren) who did not speak out loud but instead used only word balloons.^[2]

Animated series

• Spider-Man's first cartoon series ran from 1967-1970.^[2]
• Two Spider-Man cartoons aired on television in 1981: the syndicated series Spider-Man which ran for one twenty-six episode season, and the more popular Spider-Man and His Amazing Friends, which aired on the NBC network for three seasons (ultimately totaling twenty-four episodes).^[3]

• In Spider-Woman, Spider-Man appeared in "Pyramids of Terror" and "the Kongo Spider", voiced by Paul Soles.
• As a bit of foreshadowing, Spider-Man's hand appears shooting a web to save a citizen in the third season X-Men episode "Phoenix Saga (Part 5): Child of Light". This episode aired just months before the web-slinger's next series, Spider-Man, which ran for five seasons from 1994–1998, totaling 65 episodes, on Fox Broadcasting's afternoon programming block, "Fox Kids". In this series, Spider-Man was voiced by Christopher Daniel Barnes. That series continued as Spider-Man Unlimited the following year. Spider-Man Unlimited ended, after only one season, on a cliffhanger that was never resolved.
• Loosely based on the 2002 film continuity, Marvel editorial publisher Brian Michael Bendis developed a CGI spinoff for Mainframe Entertainment, with actor Neil Patrick Harris providing Peter Parker's voice. MTV picked up the show from July 11 to September 9, 2003. David and Greenberger p. 173: "It was notable...for being the first and thus far [as of 2010] the only Spidey animated series to be done as CGI."
• The next series, The Spectacular Spider-Man, premiered on March 8, 2008 and ran two seasons. Spider-Man/Peter Parker was voiced by Josh Keaton.
• Ultimate Spider-Man began airing on Disney XD in 2012. Peter Parker/Spider-Man is voiced by Drake Bell. This version has him team up with Iron Fist, Nova, Luke Cage and White Tiger while undergoing training with S.H.I.E.L.D.
• Spider-Man appears in some episodes of Avengers Assemble voiced again by Drake Bell in season one and two and by Robbie Daymond in season five.
• Spider-Man appears in some episodes of Hulk and the Agents of S.M.A.S.H. voiced again by Drake Bell.
• Spider-Man, a new Spider-Man animated series was announced in October 2016 to replace Ultimate Spider-Man. Peter Parker/Spider-Man is voiced by Robbie Daymond.^[4]
• Spider-Man appears in the Guardians of the Galaxy episodes "Back in the New York Groove" and "Drive Me Carnage," voiced again by Robbie Daymond.

Live-action series

• From 1978 to 1979, Nicholas Hammond starred as Peter Parker/Spider-Man in the live-action television series The Amazing Spider-Man. The short-lived series, which had started out as a TV film in 1977, was created before the popular The Incredible Hulk television series of the same decade, and ran for two abbreviated seasons consisting of 13 episodes during the 1977/1978 and 1978/1979 seasons. The series concluded with a two-hour episode on July 6, 1979.^[5]

Film

Live-action

Hammond series

Nicholas Hammond portrayed Peter Parker / Spider-Man on-screen in the 1970s The Amazing Spider-Man TV series, and in three films which were released theatrically in Europe.

• Spider-Man
• Spider-Man Strikes Back
• The Dragon's Challenge

Toei's Spider-Man

• A film based on the Toei Spider-Man TV series named Spider-Man was shown at the Toei Manga Matsuri film festival on July 22, 1979. It was later screened theatrically in Japan. It was released on VHS in the 1980s and on DVD in 2004. This version appears in the Spider-Verse event, along with Leopardon.

Raimi series

• Spider-Man: On May 3, 2002, the feature film Spider-Man was released. It was directed by Sam Raimi and stars actor Tobey Maguire as Peter Parker. The film uses computer-generated imagery whenever Spider-Man does any action that can be troubling for Maguire and stuntmen (e.g. web slinging). Although the film adaptation took liberties with the character's history and powers—notably, he was bitten by a genetically modified rather than a radioactive spider (an idea originating with Ultimate Spider-Man), had organic web-shooters rather than mechanical ones, and had a long-standing crush on Mary Jane Watson—it generally held true to the character and was widely embraced by the viewing public. It opened at a record US$114.8 million and earned more than US$403 million in the U.S. and Canada, the highest North American gross of any film released that year, though surpassed internationally (see 2002 in film). The villain of this film was the Green Goblin portrayed by Willem Dafoe.
• Spider-Man 2 was 2004's second-most financially successful film in North America and third internationally (see 2004 in film). It premiered in more North American movie theaters (4,152) than any previous film. Its original opening day was July 2, 2004, but was moved to June 30, 2004. Its first-day gross (US$40.5 million) surpassed its predecessor's US$39.4 million record. Spider-Man 2 was also the first motion picture released in the Sony Universal Media Disc format for the PlayStation Portable, included free with the first one million PSP systems released in the United States. The villain of the film was Doctor Octopus, portrayed by Alfred Molina.
• Spider-Man 3 began production in 2005/2006 under director Raimi. The studio released the film on May 4, 2007, on a budget reported to be more than US$250 million. The film features three villains: the Sandman / Flint Marko (portrayed by Thomas Haden Church), the New Goblin / Harry Osborn (portrayed by James Franco), and Venom / Eddie Brock (portrayed by Topher Grace). Bryce Dallas Howard plays Gwen Stacy. The plot centers on Peter and MJ's relationship problems, which are exacerbated by the arrival of an alien symbiote that takes over Spider-Man's costume and, despite enhancing his powers, also amplifies his anger, arrogance and other negative personality traits. Despite mixed reviews by critics, Spider-Man 3 opened to record-breaking sales with $59 million on its first day.
• Spider-Man 4 began production in 2008 with Raimi attached to direct and the core cast of the previous films to return. A fourth, fifth and sixth film were all planned. Come 2009, however, Raimi dismissed the rumors that all three films were being made, instead confirming that only the fourth film was under development at the time. Sony hired James Vanderbilt in October 2007 to pen the screenplay, after contacting David Koepp, the screenwriter of the first film. The script underwent further revision by playwright David Lindsay-Abaire in November 2008 and twice more by Gary Ross in October 2009 and by Alvin Sargent. Sony had also hired Vanderbilt to pen scripts for Spider-Man 5 and Spider-Man 6. On the subject of villains, Raimi considered showcasing the transformation of Dr. Curt Connors into the Lizard, with Dylan Baker reprising his role. He also had plans to upgrade Bruce Campbell to a more significant role than his prior cameos, presumably as the villain, Mysterio. In December 2009, it was reported that John Malkovich was in talks to play the Vulture, with Anne Hathaway playing Felicia Hardy. Reports stated that Hardy would be taking a departure from her prior portrayals in this film, becoming "Vulturess" instead of the familiar Black Cat. In 2013, Raimi later denied the rumors and said that Hathaway would've been Black Cat if the film was ever made. Disagreements between Raimi and Sony threatened to push the release date back. Raimi reportedly doubted that he could adhere to the film's May 6, 2011 release date without sacrificing quality. Further complicating things, Raimi reportedly went through four revisions of the script, with different writers, and still "hated it". With so many issues, Sony cancelled the film in January 2010.

Webb series

• The Amazing Spider-Man began production in December 2010 and was directed by Marc Webb from a screenplay by James Vanderbilt, Alvin Sargent, and Steve Kloves. Avi Arad and Laura Ziskin produced the 3D film released on July 3, 2012.^[6] Andrew Garfield assumed the role of Peter Parker.^[7] The film featured the villain Dr. Curt Connors / The Lizard (portrayed by Rhys Ifans), the love interest Gwen Stacy (portrayed by Emma Stone), and Peter's aunt May Parker (portrayed by Sally Field).

The film was released on May 2, 2014.
• Sony Pictures announced that they had set release dates for the next two Spider-Man films. A third film was set for release on June 10, 2016, and a fourth for May 4, 2018.^[8][9] Sony also announced two spin-offs of the film series that will focus on Spider-Man villains, Venom and the Sinister Six.^[10][11] Sony had pushed back the third and fourth Spider-Man films, with their intended release dates respectively taken by an adaptation of the video game Uncharted and Avengers: Infinity War - Part I.^[12][13][14] After Sony and Marvel Studios reached a deal to reintroduce Spider-Man into the Marvel Cinematic Universe, the sequels of The Amazing Spider-Man series, including the proposed spin-off were officially cancelled.^[15] In March 2016, The Hollywood Reporter reported that Sony are moving forward with the standalone Venom movie with Dante Harper penning the script while Avi Arad and Matt Tolmach will be producing and overseeing the project.^[16]

In November 2016, Holland announced that he's signed for 6 films in the MCU.^[17]

A number of Spider-Man children's books have also been published, from early readers and picture books to novels. Guide books include DK Publishing's Spider-Man: The Ultimate Guide, by Tom DeFalco^[30] and Spider-Man: Inside the World of Your Friendly Neighborhood Hero by Matthew K. Manning.^[31]
