Peter Benjamin Parker

Peter Benjamin Parker, also known by his alter ego Spider-Man, is a fictional superhero portrayed by Tobey Maguire. He is the protagonist of Sam Raimi's Spider-Man film in 2002, its two sequels, video games, and an animated series designed to be set within that continuity. Maguire reprised his role as a supporting character in the Marvel Studios film Spider-Man: No Way Home (2021), appearing as an older version of himself alongside his two successors' versions of the character. The narrative of Raimi's trilogy focuses on Peter Parker's growth from high school to college, and his troubled relationship with his childhood best friend Harry Osborn, as well as his relationship with Mary Jane Watson, Parker's childhood crush and girlfriend. Parker's secret life leads to many encounters with various super-human criminals who threaten the peace and lives of civilians in New York City.
