60 free Spider-Man: No Way Home trivia questions with answers — entertainment quiz, new questions added Aug 2026.
This Spider-Man: No Way Home trivia quiz covers the 2021 film that brought three generations of Spider-Man together and closed Tom Holland's first trilogy. The plot questions run from the Damage Control interrogation and Matt Murdock's cameo through the corrupted spell at the Sanctum, the bridge fight with Doctor Octopus, the villains' realisation about their deaths, May's death, Ned's sling ring, the Statue of Liberty finale and the spell that wipes Peter from everyone's memory. The harder half covers how it happened: the 2019 Sony-Marvel split and the phone calls that fixed it, the villain Sony would not let them use, the It's a Wonderful Life idea behind the story, the working titles, the cloaks used to sneak returning actors onto set, Andrew Garfield's year of denials, the record-breaking trailer, the extended More Fun Stuff cut and the box office that made it the biggest film of 2021. Easy questions suit anyone who has seen it once; the expert ones will test even committed fans of all three franchises. Every answer was checked against the film's Wikipedia article and its cited sources before publishing. For the rest of the trilogy, try our Homecoming and Far From Home quizzes.

A military research facility
Strange orders the trio to round up everyone the spell pulled through.

Iger later said both companies had forgotten 'there are other people who actually matter' during the talks.
