Spider-Man is a superhero character created by Marvel, centred on Peter Parker, a young man who gains spider-like abilities and tries to balance ordinary life with protecting others. The film series has become one of the most prominent parts of modern superhero cinema.
Sony controls the film rights to Spider-Man, while Marvel Studios has worked with it on recent films featuring Tom Holland as Peter Parker. These films also connect with the wider Marvel screen universe, which includes characters and storylines across many releases.
Box-office figures measure money earned from cinema ticket sales, with North America usually referring to the United States and Canada. Strong results matter to studios and cinema operators because they affect future film plans, marketing decisions and the value of major franchises.
