what do i need to watch first before the new spiderman movie
For the new Spider-Man movie, the safest essentials are the Tom Holland trilogy: Spider-Man: Homecoming , Far From Home , and especially No Way Home. The current fan guidance also points to Captain America: Civil War as the best starting point, with Daredevil: Born Again and some Punisher- related viewing as optional extra context.
Watch first
- Captain America: Civil War — this is where Tom Holland’s Spider-Man enters the MCU.
- Spider-Man: Homecoming.
- Spider-Man: Far From Home.
- Spider-Man: No Way Home — this is the most important one to have fresh before the new film.
Optional extras
- She-Hulk if you want the Hulk-related setup some viewers are discussing.
- Daredevil: Born Again if you want extra New York street-level context.
- The older live-action Spider-Man films are more “nice to have” than required.
Fastest path
If you only have time for a few things, watch:
- Civil War
- Homecoming
- Far From Home
- No Way Home
TL;DR: watch the Holland trilogy first, and make No Way Home the priority.
