Peter Parker

Peter Benjamin Parker is a fictional character primarily portrayed by Tom Holland in the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) media franchise—based on the Marvel Comics character of the same name. Parker is initially depicted as a high school student at Midtown School of Science and Technology who received spider-like and superhuman abilities after being bitten by a radioactive spider and operates as a vigilante in New York City known as Spider-Man. Parker is recruited by Tony Stark, who goes on to mentor him and inducts him into the Avengers during the battle against Thanos. Following the Blip, Parker briefly becomes Stark's chosen successor until his secret identity becomes public, and the events that transpire after he enlists Stephen Strange's help to reverse this causes the multiverse to open. Strange and Parker eventually resolve the crisis by casting a new spell that permanently erases the world's shared knowledge of his civilian persona, including the bonds he once shared with his loved ones, friends, and other superhero allies. Holland's version of the character is the successor to the Peter Parker played by Tobey Maguire in the Sam Raimi trilogy (2002–2015) and the Peter Parker of The Amazing Spider-Man duology (2012–2018) played by Andrew Garfield, both of whom reprise their roles, join the MCU multiverse, and appear alongside Holland in Spider-Man: No Way Home (2021). To distinguish himself from the other versions, he is nicknamed "Peter-One".
