The Amazing Spider-Man Leaps to #1 Movie on Netflix

By Charlie Ridgely

Finally, for the first time in quite a while, Marvel fans are able to watch Andrew Garfield's Spider-Man on a major streaming service. Ahead of Garfield's Marvel return in Spider-Man: No Way Home last year, The Amazing Spider-Man and The Amazing Spider-Man 2 weren't readily available to stream without renting or purchasing. That changed on Wednesday, when the first of Garfield's Spider-Man outings was added to Netflix's vast streaming roster.

It was easy to assume that The Amazing Spider-Man would quickly become a hit on Netflix, given how much love there is for both Garfield and the Marvel hero. What may not have been expected, however, was The Amazing Spider-Man becoming Netflix's most popular movie overnight.

Thursday's edition of the Netflix Top 10 Movies list shows The Amazing Spider-Man in the number one overall spot on the site, proving just how popular Garfield's Peter Parker remains with fans. It'll be interesting to see just how long the film can stick around the top few spots on Netflix.
