While the Tobey Maguire and Andrew Garfield iterations of Spider-Man adhered closely to different eras of the comic source material, Tom Holland’s version, by necessity, had to be different. Rather than embodying another era of the Spider-Man comics, Holland’s version of Peter Parker is a largely original take on the character, with some loose inspiration from several comic eras and much of his characterization being intertwined with Iron Man’s MCU story. While some viewers have taken issue with this, Holland’s Spider-Man moving out of Iron Man’s shadow is a recurring element in his solo movies.
Although Avengers: Endgame satisfyingly concluded the Marvel Cinematic Universe Infinity Saga, it also created a big problem for Spider-Man in the next Avengers movie. Spider-Man joined the MCU in Captain America: Civil War before his solo film series began with Spider-Man: Homecoming, but the MCU’s iteration of Peter Parker has, since his debut, been closely tied to the MCU’s other superheroes, with Spider-Man playing a prominent role in Endgame’s finale. The battle brought Spider-Man even closer to his Avengers teammates, but this will prove troublesome for the young hero, given the tragic Spider-Man: No Way Home ending.
