For a complete experience: start with the Raimi trilogy (2002–2007), then the Amazing Spider-Man films (2012–2014), then the MCU films beginning with Civil War (2016) through No Way Home (2021). Watch Into the Spider-Verse (2018) and Across the Spider-Verse (2023) separately as they form their own animated trilogy.
To fully appreciate Spider-Man: No Way Home, it's strongly recommended to watch at least the original Raimi trilogy, The Amazing Spider-Man 1–2, and the MCU Spider-Man films (Homecoming, Far From Home). The film is full of callbacks and multiverse cameos that reward fans who know all three eras.
Loosely. The SSU (Venom, Morbius, etc.) exists in a separate universe from the MCU, though No Way Home briefly connects them via the multiverse. You don't need to watch the SSU films to follow the MCU Spider-Man storyline.
Not directly. The Spider-Verse animated trilogy features its own characters and multiverse rules. However, it shares thematic connections with No Way Home and is essential viewing for any Spider-Man fan.
