Spider-Man: No Way Home
The first trailer forSpider - Man : No fashion Homehas finally arrived , with the explosive - but not unexpected - twist reveal ofAlfred Molina ’s counter as Doctor Octopus . The self - style " worst go on secret in Hollywood " is the depressed - chip reveal at the end of an already action - packed trailer , but how can he return , given that he ’s from an entirely different Spider - Man universe ? The answer , most potential , come thanks to Marvel ’s multiverse as the trailer hints .
WhenSpider - Man : Far From Hometrolled the MCU ’s fans with a Multiversal false start , thanks to Jake Gyllenhaal ’s Mysterio , the opening of a dream reunification of Tobey Maguire , Andre Garfield , and Tom Holland ’s MCU Spider - Man look to be slip away . ButWandaVisionteased dimensional shenanigans beforeLoki ’s Kang endingopened the Multiverse of Madness well beforeDoctor Strange ’s sequel explores it further .

Crowning an otherwise mischievous selling campaign that sought to actively weaponize trolling - especially aroundNo Way Home ’s title - Sony stole back the reins with the release of the first trailer out of CinemaCon . And that final moment , which reckon Alfred Molina recognize Holland ’s Peter Parker like an former acquaintance is one of the MCU ’s handsome digest - out trailer bit ever . The question now is how the franchise will justifyMolina ’s regaining as Doctor Octopusafter his case was killed off inSpider - Man 2 . The response seemingly lies in the multiverse and the proffer that while he looks like the same character , he ’s presumably a variant from a timeline in which he did n’t break .
There have already been hints thatSpider - Man : No elbow room Homewill include form , since Jamie Foxx confirm months ahead of the trailer ’s release that his Electro would count different toThe Amazing Spider - Man 2 . The solution to that finicky conundrum was always bad , but thenLokiestablished the logic of variants who did n’t just look different , but who had live entirely different lives . IfThrog can exist in the MCU , so too can a non - gamey Electro and a Doctor Octopus who did n’t drown and take down his villainous " greatest " invention . There ’s also already ground engineering science in the MCU that can allow lineament to leap through dimensions - by navigating the Quantum Realm . The specific of that engineering in conjunction with the multiverse is unclear , but if the Green Goblin mite from the trailer means Norman Osborn is call for , there is money behind it , motivation ( Spider - Man hatred ) , and technical genius .
The more probable source is that the multiversal Sinister Six that presumptively terminate up stalking Holland ’s Peter Parker are the outcome of Doctor Strange ’s attempt to aid Spider - Man ’s secret individuality be forgotten . There looks like a warning of develop what you wish well for , which may hint at unusual drawing on the Dream Dimension ( and thus Nightmare - who was speculated to beDoctor Strange 2 ’s villain ) to pull off the dangerous magic necessitate . That might tie into the mirthful book arcSpider - humanity : One More Day , which followedCivil War ’s reveal of Peter Parker ’s identicalness and saw Spidey make a deal with the devil that come with a heartbreaking price . Nightmare could be the stall - in for Mephisto here , and the cost for Peter ’s namelessness may be having his greatest foe on his tail . add in Doctor Octopus as the first sign of that in the trailer - given that he could well still be the enceinte Spider - Man movie villain - would be the perfect teaser ofSpider - Man : No Way Home ’s explosive plot . After all , Peter has antecedently wished he could front big menace than his " favorable neighborhood " could provide , and the admonition in the trailer looks like the dangers of want fulfillment .
