Spider-Man has swung onto Apple TV's streaming charts to huge success, and the wall-crawler continues a massive 2026 Marvel trend. Tom Holland's Spider-Man is the most successful take on the character. While fans may still argue over who has the best Spider-Man movie of all time, there is no denying that Holland takes the cake when it comes to the box office.

After all, 2026's Spider-Man: Brand New Day has broken nearly every record it had a chance of breaking. Even in Marvel and Sony's wildest dreams, this movie was not expected to perform the way that it has. At the time of writing, Spider-Man: Brand New Day stands at a box office total of $2.5 billion, the 3rd highest-grossing movie of all time.

Only James Cameron's Avatar and Marvel Studios' Avengers: Endgame, who just recovered the box office top spot through Avengers: Endgame Encore, stand above Holland's latest Spider-Man movie. That continues the success of the actor's other three solo films as Peter Parker in the MCU's slate of releases. All of Holland's Spider-Man movies have been hits, making the MCU's Spider-Man 5 a matter of time.

Before that happens, there will be two Avengers movies, December's Avengers: Doomsday, and 2027's Avengers: Secret Wars. Spider-Man: Brand New Day's performance surely has helped boost interest in the films, and if Holland appears, that will be a plus. That said, before that happens, Spider-Man just had to continue a 2026 Marvel streaming trend in the perfect way.

Spider-Man Has Taken Over Apple TV's Global Chart

Spider-Man movies have become linked to Disney+ in the last few years when it comes to streaming. That said, it is on Apple TV that Holland's version of Peter Parker is currently dominating the medium. According to data from FlixPatrol, 2019's Spider-Man: Far From Home is the 4th most-watched movie on Apple TV worldwide at the time of writing. Holland's second Spider-Man movie has left behind films like Steven Spielberg's Ready Player One, Ryan Reynolds' The Proposal, the Punisher star Jon Bernthal's The Accountant with Ben Affleck, Robert Downey Jr.'s Sherlock Holmes, and more on the Apple TV global chart.

The only three movies with a better ranking than Spider-Man: Far From Home worldwide are Brad Pitt's F1, Reynolds' recent hit Mayday, and the documentary The Last First: Winter K2, at #1. According to FlixPatrol, Spider-Man: Far From Home is trending on Apple TV in 65 countries, being the streaming service's most-watched movie in 28 of them. The United States is not included, as Spider-Man: Far From Home is streaming on Disney+ and a couple of others nationwide. Holland's Spider-Man: Brand New Day also arrived on VOD this Tuesday, October 6, and it is currently the most popular film on the Apple TV Store in the US (via FlixPatrol).

Spider-Man's Successful 2026 Streak Continues With Yet Another Streaming Win

Spider-Man: Far From Home's success on Apple TV is the latest such event for the wall-crawler this year, as 2026 has been perfect for different versions of Spider-Man on streaming. When it comes to Holland's Peter Parker, multiple of his Spider-Man movies have trended on Disney+ both worldwide and in the US. Now, an animated version of Spider-Man is also doing well on that streaming service, as the special Spidey and the Avengers: Halloween Team-Up! is currently the 6th most popular release on Disney+'s Top 10 Movies chart in the US, as per FlixPatrol.

On other streaming services, while it was canceled after a single season, Nicolas Cage's live-action Spider-Noir series was a huge hit for Prime Video. The new Spider-Man series trended on Prime Video's global and nationwide charts for a long time, making its cancellation a baffling decision, even if a new Spider-Man show based on Marvel's Clone Saga will reportedly replace it. With Spider-Man: Brand New Day set to repeat its theatrical success when it comes to streaming and Far From Home currently high on Apple TV, Marvel's and Spider-Man's streaming trend is stronger than ever.
