For years, Tobey Maguire’s Spider-Man 2 has been treated as the untouchable gold standard of live-action superhero cinema. Entire generations grew up believing no Spider-Man film could ever swing past Sam Raimi’s beloved masterpiece. But Spider-Man: Brand New Day has now achieved what once seemed almost impossible, quietly rewriting the Spider-Man pecking order.

With millions of film lovers weighing in, the Spider-Man legacy has quietly been reshuffled in a way few fans saw coming.

According to the Letterboxd community rankings, Spider-Man: Brand New Day has officially become the highest-rated live-action Spider-Man film on the platform with an impressive 4.14 average rating. That score places Tom Holland’s latest adventure ahead of Sam Raimi’s iconic Spider-Man 2, which holds a 3.94 rating and has long been regarded as the benchmark for live-action Spider-Man storytelling. While the animated Spider-Verse films continue to occupy the top two overall spots, Brand New Day has firmly established itself as the new king among the franchise’s live-action entries.

The latest ranking adds yet another milestone to Brand New Day's extraordinary run. Directed by Destin Daniel Cretton, the film has already shattered box-office records, tied the fastest climb to one million watches on Letterboxd, and earned widespread praise for returning Peter Parker to a more grounded, emotionally driven story. The complete community ranking now places Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse (4.40) first, Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse (4.39) second, Brand New Day (4.14) third overall, followed by Spider-Man 2 (3.94), proving that Tom Holland’s latest outing has successfully rewritten the live-action Spider-Man pecking order.

While Spider-Man continues to rewrite its own legacy, the man beneath the mask has quietly been building one of the most untouchable records in Hollywood history.

With Spider-Man: Brand New Day opening to a staggering $927 million worldwide, Tom Holland has officially become the first actor ever to appear in all four of the biggest global opening weekends in cinema history.

Directed by Destin Daniel Cretton, Spider-Man: Brand New Day has played a pivotal role in that historic milestone. Starring Tom Holland alongside Zendaya, Jacob Batalon, Jon Bernthal, Mark Ruffalo, Sadie Sink, Michael Mando, and Florence Pugh, the film has won over both audiences and critics with its grounded, emotionally driven approach. Alongside its record-breaking commercial run, the blockbuster currently holds a 90% Rotten Tomatoes score and an A CinemaScore, further cementing Holland’s latest Spider-Man outing as one of the franchise’s biggest triumphs.

Whether measured by fan rankings, critical acclaim, or record-breaking box office numbers, Spider-Man: Brand New Day continues to redefine what a Spider-Man movie can achieve.
