When the multiverse collapsed, it didn’t vanish.
It rewrote everything — and everyone.
Spider-Man: Legacy of the Web swings into a bold new era, where fractured timelines converge in one teenager caught between worlds. With powers drawn from countless Spider-Men — and the memories to match — Kian Parker must forge his own identity in a reality that’s barely holding together.
Plot Summary: A New Web is Woven
After the multiverse rift closed, most assumed the chaos had ended. But remnants remain — and they’ve begun to reshape reality itself.
In the heart of New York, teen Kian Parker wakes up with powers he never asked for — some he can’t even control. Agility from one timeline, bio-electric venom blasts from another, and a sixth sense haunted by memories that aren’t his.
Worse still, a villain known only as Rift emerges — a fusion of past enemies, stitched together by broken memories and twisted timelines. With realities bleeding into each other, Kian isn’t just fighting to save the city — he’s battling for the legacy of every Spider-Man who came before him.
New Lead Cast: Threads of Power
Caleb McLaughlin steps into the web as Kian Parker, a grounded but reluctant new Spider-Man who must navigate inherited power and a fractured identity. His strength lies not just in his abilities, but in his will to choose who he becomes.
Maya Hawke plays Gwen Stacy (Earth-14), a sharp, emotionally complex variant with secrets of her own. She’s been through her share of timeline collapses — and knows what’s at stake.
Austin Butler transforms into Rift, a villain shaped by memory shards and multiversal trauma. He knows every Spider-Man’s weakness — because he remembers being them.

Why It’s Worth the Swing
Spider-Man: Legacy of the Web blends everything fans love — action, heart, high stakes — with a daring, genre-bending evolution of the Spider-Verse. With new faces, new challenges, and a deeper dive into what makes a hero, this chapter dares to ask:
What happens when one Spider must carry the entire web?
The answer?
He spins something entirely his own.
