The Ultimate Spider-Man Marathon Lands on Movie Room

Your Friday nights just got a superhero sized upgrade. As excitement builds for the release of Spider-Man: Brand New Day, fans can revisit every web slinging adventure that made Spider-Man one of the world’s most beloved superheroes all from the comfort of home.

Ahead of the film’s South African cinema release on 29 July 2026, Movie Room (DStv Channel 113), in partnership with Sony Pictures Entertainment, is celebrating Spider-Man Month with all eight live action Spider-Man films airing throughout July.

The highly anticipated Spider-Man: Brand New Day reunites recently married Hollywood stars Tom Holland and Zendaya as Peter Parker and MJ Jones, promising another thrilling chapter in the ever-evolving Spider-Man story. While audiences count down the days until the new film lands in cinemas, there’s no better time to revisit the stories, unforgettable characters and iconic villains that have defined Spider-Man’s cinematic journey over the past two decades.

Whether you grew up watching Tobey Maguire’s heartfelt portrayal of the friendly neighbourhood Spider-Man, became a fan of Andrew Garfield’s fresh take on the web-slinger or embraced Tom Holland’s youthful and energetic version within the Marvel Cinematic Universe, Spider-Man Month offers the ultimate movie marathon for every generation of fan.

Every Friday in July, Movie Room transforms into Spider-Man central, featuring the complete live-action collection:

Spider-Man
Spider-Man 2
Spider-Man 3
The Amazing Spider-Man
The Amazing Spider-Man 2
Spider-Man: Homecoming
Spider-Man: Far from Home
Spider-Man: No Way Home

But the action doesn’t end when the credits roll.

After watching the films, viewers can vote for their favourite Spider-Man movie via WhatsApp for the chance to win tickets to the South African premiere of Spider-Man: Brand New Day. It’s the perfect opportunity for fans to celebrate their favourite web-slinger while standing a chance to attend one of the year’s biggest movie events.

The campaign is also expected to reignite one of pop culture’s most hotly debated questions: Who is the ultimate Spider-Man?

Is it Tobey Maguire, whose original trilogy introduced a generation to Peter Parker? Andrew Garfield, whose emotional performance won over loyal fans? Or Tom Holland, whose portrayal has become synonymous with the Marvel Cinematic Universe? The debate doesn’t stop there. Which Spider-Man film stands above the rest? Which villain delivered the greatest challenge? From Green Goblin and Doctor Octopus to Electro, Mysterio and the multiverse’s greatest foes, comic-book enthusiasts and movie lovers alike are sure to take to social media to defend their favourites.

One thing, however is certain: with great power comes great responsibility and with Spider-Man Month on Movie Room comes an unforgettable month of blockbuster entertainment.

Don’t miss this celebration of one of cinema’s greatest superheroes. Tune in to Movie Room on DStv Channel 113 every Friday throughout July and experience every web-slinging adventure before Spider-Man: Brand New Day swings into South African cinemas.
