Collider has published a ranking of the three "Home trilogy" Spider-Man films starring Tom Holland, timed to the huge box-office success of the newer film Spider-Man: Brand New Day, which opened with $360 million domestically and has since grossed around $2.31 billion worldwide, making it 2026's highest-grossing release by a wide margin. The piece frames the earlier trilogy as the story that built up Peter Parker's world and steadily stripped away his safety nets, setting the stage for Brand New Day's premise of a Peter Parker nobody remembers.

Of the films discussed, Spider-Man: Homecoming is praised for keeping the stakes small and personal, with Michael Keaton's Vulture drawn from Avengers wreckage and a memorable reveal during the school dance, while Peter's loss of his high-tech Stark suit is highlighted as the moment he becomes truly himself. Spider-Man: Far From Home is described as messier but entertaining, noting Jake Gyllenhaal's Mysterio as a highlight for its illusion sequences and the twist ending revealing Peter's secret identity to the world.
