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."

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".
