Spider Man Cast: Every Actor and Director Across the Films

The Spider-Man cast is led by Tobey Maguire (2002 to 2007), Andrew Garfield (2012 and 2014) and Tom Holland (2017 to 2026) as Peter Parker, with Shameik Moore voicing Miles Morales in Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse (2018) and Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse (2023). The cast is easiest to follow in four groups: the Raimi films, the Webb films, the Marvel Cinematic Universe films and the animated Spider-Verse films. The table lists the lead and the main supporting names with their characters for every released film, in release order.

Tobey Maguire plays Peter Parker in Sam Raimi's Spider-Man (2002), Spider-Man 2 (2004) and Spider-Man 3 (2007). In the first film Willem Dafoe plays Norman Osborn and the Green Goblin, and Kirsten Dunst plays Mary Jane Watson.

Andrew Garfield plays Peter Parker in The Amazing Spider-Man (2012) and The Amazing Spider-Man 2 (2014), both directed by Marc Webb, opposite Emma Stone as Gwen Stacy.

Tom Holland plays Peter Parker in Spider-Man: Homecoming (2017), directed by Jon Watts, and in Far From Home, No Way Home and Brand New Day. In Brand New Day, Sadie Sink is billed second as Jean Grey and Jon Bernthal plays Frank Castle.

Shameik Moore voices Miles Morales in both animated films, and the voice cast plays a whole multiverse rather than one hero. Hailee Steinfeld voices Gwen Stacy and Jake Johnson voices Peter B. Parker, Chris Pine voices another Peter Parker in Into the Spider-Verse, and Oscar Isaac joins as Miguel O'Hara in Across the Spider-Verse. For a shorter, name by name answer, see Spider-Man actors. For the roles themselves, head to Spider-Man characters.

Sam Raimi, Marc Webb, Jon Watts and Destin Daniel Cretton directed the live action Spider-Man films, and six directors share credit on the two animated Spider-Verse films. Sam Raimi directed the first three films (2002, 2004 and 2007), Marc Webb directed both Amazing Spider-Man films (2012 and 2014), Jon Watts directed Homecoming, Far From Home and No Way Home, and Destin Daniel Cretton directed Spider-Man: Brand New Day (2026).

The animated films are team efforts. Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse (2018) lists Bob Persichetti, Peter Ramsey and Rodney Rothman as directors, while Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse (2023) lists Kemp Powers, Justin K. Thompson and Joaquim Dos Santos.

Spider-Man: Beyond the Spider-Verse lists Bob Persichetti and Justin K. Thompson as directors, Phil Lord, Christopher Miller and David Callaham as writers and Daniel Pemberton as composer, and all of those credits are TMDB-listed and unconfirmed.

Danny Elfman, Christopher Young, James Horner, Tom Holkenborg, Michael Giacchino and Daniel Pemberton have scored the Spider-Man films. Danny Elfman scored the first two Raimi films and Christopher Young scored Spider-Man 3. James Horner scored The Amazing Spider-Man and Tom Holkenborg scored the sequel. Michael Giacchino scored Homecoming, Far From Home, No Way Home and Brand New Day, and Daniel Pemberton scored both Spider-Verse films.

Tobey Maguire, Andrew Garfield, Willem Dafoe, Alfred Molina and Jamie Foxx returned in Spider-Man: No Way Home (2021), while Gwen Stacy, Aunt May, Harry Osborn and Flash Thompson were recast with each new film series. Maguire and Garfield are both billed there as Peter Parker alongside Tom Holland. Dafoe, Molina and Foxx keep the roles they played in Spider-Man (2002), Spider-Man 2 (2004) and The Amazing Spider-Man 2 (2014), as Norman Osborn, Otto Octavius and Max Dillon (Electro).

The recast list is long, so here are the clearest examples. Gwen Stacy has been played by Bryce Dallas Howard in Spider-Man 3, Emma Stone in both Amazing films and Hailee Steinfeld in the animated films. Aunt May has had four faces: Rosemary Harris, Sally Field, Marisa Tomei and, in voice, Lily Tomlin. Harry Osborn moved from James Franco to Dane DeHaan, and Flash Thompson passed from Joe Manganiello to Chris Zylka to Tony Revolori.

Several actors stayed put. J.K. Simmons played J. Jonah Jameson and Kirsten Dunst played Mary Jane in all three Raimi films. Zendaya, Jacob Batalon and Marisa Tomei appear in Spider-Man: Homecoming, Spider-Man: Far From Home, Spider-Man: No Way Home and Spider-Man: Brand New Day. Shameik Moore, Hailee Steinfeld, Jake Johnson and Mahershala Ali appear in both Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse and Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse.

Zendaya is credited as MJ in Far From Home, No Way Home and Brand New Day. In my opinion, the smartest piece of casting continuity is the return of Dafoe, Molina and Foxx, because it let three earlier villains keep their own actors rather than being replaced by lookalikes.

Looking ahead, TheWrap reported on April 13, 2026 that Moore, Steinfeld, Johnson, Jason Schwartzman, Daniel Kaluuya, Karan Soni and Mahershala Ali are attached to Spider-Man: Beyond the Spider-Verse. That is a reported list, not a studio cast announcement. The film is in production with a US date of June 18, 2027, and its status lives on the Spider-Man: Beyond the Spider-Verse page.
