Fans can get tickets starting Friday, July 25. The existence of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, the DCEU, and the DCU would all be doubtful if it weren't for the original "Spider-Man" trilogy. Starring Maguire as Peter Parker/Spider-Man, all three films were directed by cult horror icon Sam Raimi. The features were all major box office successes. Even "Spider-Man 3", which remains the most critically panned of the trilogy, made $892 million at the global box office. Ray Nutt, chief executive officer of Fathom Entertainment said, "The success of 'Spider-Man' in 2002 helped launch the modern era of superhero films. To this day, Tobey Maguire's take on Spider-Man resonates across generations." "At Fathom Entertainment, we celebrate fandom and I am delighted that 'Spider-Man 2.1' in 4K will make its theatrical debut, a true gift for longtime fans and a thrilling discovery for new ones." The films boasted a cast that included Kirsten Dunst as Parker's love interest Mary Jane Watson, James Franco as his friend and future foe Harry Osborne, J.K. Simmons as over-the-top newspaper editor and curmudgeon J. Jonah Jameson, and Rosemary Harris as Parker's loving Aunt May. The trilogy remains beloved among fans; enough so that Maguire was asked back to reprise his role in 2021's "Spider-Man: No Way Home", along with Andrew Garfield and Tom Holland. Three villains from the original trilogy - Willem Dafoe as the Green Goblin, Alfred Molina as Doc Ock, and Thomas Haden Church as Sandman - likewise joined Maguire and the rest in "No Way Home".
