Spider-Man: No Way Home

Movie · 2021

This PG-13 Marvel adventure pits a teenage Spider-Man against five multiverse villains in a story full of big action, genuine heart, and one genuinely sad loss that lands hard. It is a rewarding watch for older kids and tweens, but the sustained peril, scary villain designs, and an emotionally heavy death scene make it a lot for younger children.

Best for kids 11 and up; younger fans of Spider-Man who already know the character may handle it around 9 or 10 with a grown-up alongside.
