  • Spider-Man's official introduction into the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU). Not required viewing necessarily for No Way Home, but helpful for character connections!

  • Watch after Civil War for a bridge into Infinity War. Honestly, this one is great for character development.

  • Avengers

    Infinity War

    Peter Parker goes to space and officially becomes an Avenger. This is also where he meets Doctor Strange, who will be an important character in No Way Home.

  • Avengers

    Endgame

    Admittedly, Spider-Man isn't much of this movie. But you'll probably want to watch it after that cliffhanger ending in Infinity War.

    Far From Home

    As Peter Parker considers whether or not he wants to be Spider-Man, the stakes get risen. You'll definitely want to watch at least this movie before watching No Way Home because the end credits scene sets up No Way Home.

  • These earlier movies definitely aren't required viewing for No Way Home. But they're great to revisit to get a feel for the classic villains that are going to make an appearance due to the multiverse. In this one: Green Goblin.
    DVD, 2002Culver City, Calif. : Columbia TriStar Home Entertainment, 2002.
  • My personal favorite Spider-Man villain gets an origin story in this one: Otto Octavius, AKA Doctor Octopus.
    DVD, 2004Culver City, Calif. : Columbia TriStar Home Entertainment, 2004.
  • Admittedly, this movie goes off the rails a bit, but Sandman is said to make an appearance in No Way Home. We also get a first look at Venom.

  • Another reboot. It's unclear whether the villain in this one (Dr. Curt Connors/The Lizard) will make an appearance in No Way Home. But no one has ruled out that Andrew Garfield, yet!

  • This installment gives us Electro's origin story, who will definitely be making an appearance in No Way Home. Be warned: the classic Gwen Stacy story from the comics is also included in this one.

  • Spider-Man

    Into the Spider-Verse

    Not required watching for No Way Home, since it has no impact on the movie. But this is a great introduction to the Marvel multiverse, if needed!
