MCU Spider-Man’s origin story


So with all of the talk of everyone discussing every Spider-Man version that’s ever been out there, it just occurred to me that I’ve never seen Tom Holland’s origin story where he was bit by the spider. I only ever recall seeing him already as Spider-Man. Did I miss something? If so, where can I see this? There’s so many MCU films now; it’s easy to lose track.

It was never shown. We know he was bitten by a spider, and we know his Uncle Ben died, and that is everything we know. You might add that his uncle never said with great power comes with responsibility, because Aunt May says that to him and he didn't recognize it as something he heard before.

They purposely skipped over it because they felt everyone knew Spider-Man's origin already.

His origin story was never told/shown in the MCU, only alluded to. And as mentioned above, they deliberately skipped it (made sense).

With that said, the studio is producing a prequel animated series, Spider-Man: Freshman Year, that will be all about MCU’s Spidey’s origin story. It’s going to be stylized after the early Spider-Man comics. So animated project, but it’ll be the one MCU project that explores his early days as Spider-Man.
