Certain Marvel properties fall under the Sony banner, which can make things a bit confusing with Spider-Man, especially as there are three iterations of the web-slinger, and only one who regularly appears in the Marvel Cinematic Universe (for now).
Tom Holland’s Peter Parker has separate feature installments when he doesn’t overlap with the Avengers, and Spider-Man: Far From Home (2021) marked the most overlap of Holland’s Parker with not only the Marvel Cinematic Universe, but also the multiverse.
Several other characters who appear in side plots in the comics have received their own center-stage films like the parasite Venom who encounters Tobey Maguire’s Spider-Man in Sam Raimi’s third film, Madame Web, Morbius and more.
