A few thoughts on Spider-Man: Homecoming
The teen-hero-in-school register lands closest to My Hero Academia, where a nervous kid trains to earn powers he barely controls. For the same friendly-neighborhood Spider-Man in a form built for it, Insomniac's game Marvel's Spider-Man gives you the web-swinging and the Aunt May scenes. Brian Michael Bendis wrote Ultimate Spider-Man as a modern high-school origin worth reading after this.
MCU stories that tie back to the wider Avengers
Homecoming keeps Peter Parker's world small while name-dropping the bigger fight happening around him, and these films are that bigger picture. Iron Man introduces the man mentoring him, Avengers: Infinity War shows the stakes he'll eventually join, and Black Panther and Guardians of the Galaxy fill in other corners of the same connected universe with their own street-level and cosmic stories.
Other big-screen takes on Spider-Man across the multiverse
Tom Holland's Peter Parker is one version of a character that keeps getting reinvented. No Way Home brings three different Spider-Men into the same story, Into the Spider-Verse and Across the Spider-Verse animate an entire multiverse of spider-people, and The Amazing Spider-Man offers a completely separate live-action origin with its own tone and cast.
DC's own shared universe of screen heroes
Homecoming plays inside Marvel's connected universe, and DC has built its own parallel version across these films. The Flash and Black Adam bend and expand its rules, Justice League brings its core team together, Superman anchors the mythology at its center, and Green Lantern: First Flight extends the same shared world into animation.
