No Way Home finds Peter Parker (Tom Holland) attempting to fix the chaos caused by illusionist Mysterio after he outed Peter to the world as Spider-Man in Far From Home, then framed him for his death.
Personally reviled and the future of loved ones MJ (Zendaya), Ned (Jacob Batalon), and aunt May at stake, Parker beseeches Doctor Strange to make the world forget that he’s the web-slinging Spidey. Yet multiple distractions during Strange’s spell lead to a hole being torn in the multiverse, out of which pours half a dozen of Peter’s former nemeses.
It's thrilling stuff as Peter comes face to face with supervillains throughout the franchise, from Sam Raimi’s 2002 original to the Andrew Garfield-led Amazing Spider-Man movies. Full of meta-humour, mind-blowing action scenes, and electric MCU cameos, here's how to watch Spider-Man: No Way Home online from wherever you are.

Can you stream Spider-Man: No Way Home from the rest of the world?
Right now, it’s tricky to stream Spider-Man: No Way Home on a streaming platform anywhere outside India or the US without a VPN. In the UK, Australia and Canada, you can currently only buy or rent the film through VOD services like Amazon Prime Video and Apple TV (iTunes), but at a cost equal to if not triple the monthly amount of a streaming subscription.
However, it’s good news in South America as HBO Max Brazil will be home to the crowd-pleasing movie from July 22, just a week after the anticipated US release.
Elsewhere, Sony licensing deals mean Netflix will probably host the movie internationally. Yet even then, the streaming giant won't release it at the same time in all territories, as per the UK release of 2019's Far From Home which took two years to appear on that platform (and has now been removed).
As we’ve explained, if you are away from home and trying to connect to your regional service, it’s as simple as downloading a VPN to let you to access the full film library of the service you’re paying for back in your home country.
