50 free Spider-Man: Homecoming trivia questions with answers — entertainment quiz, new questions added Aug 2026.
This Spider-Man: Homecoming trivia quiz covers the 2017 film that brought Peter Parker into the Marvel Cinematic Universe for a solo adventure. The plot questions run from Adrian Toomes's salvage crew losing the Chitauri clean-up job to the Washington Monument rescue, the Staten Island Ferry, the moment Peter opens the door and finds the Vulture is Liz's dad, the plane crash on Coney Island and Aunt May walking in at the wrong moment. The harder half covers how the film was made: the Sony-Marvel deal that made it possible, the actors who screen-tested against Robert Downey Jr., the villain who nearly went to John Leguizamo, the working title, the school Tom Holland attended undercover, why the Daily Bugle and Uncle Ben are missing, the composer who slipped in the 1960s cartoon theme, and the box office that made it the biggest Spider-Man opening overseas. Easy questions suit anyone who has seen it once; the expert ones will test even committed MCU fans. Every answer was checked against the film's Wikipedia article and its cited sources before publishing. For more, try our Spider-Man movies, Far From Home and No Way Home quizzes.

A Captain America PSA about patience
It was a last-minute addition and a joke at the expense of anyone who had just waited through the entire credits.
