Spider-Man is officially back in the MCU after Sony and Marvel Studios battled out a contract for the upcoming films, and I couldn’t be happier. I am unashamed to admit that Tom Holland is my favorite Spider-Man so hearing this was the best thing that could’ve happened. I’ve been a Spider-Man stan my whole life, so it is my duty to do what no one has asked of me: I’m going to rank the Spider-Man films from best to worst.
