Spider - Man : No agency Homebrought three cinematic iterations ofSpider - Mantogether , but it ignored many of the Marvel characters in Tobey Maguire ’s home creation . Tobey Maguire ’s version of Spider - Man , screw in the flick as “ Peter - Two ” and now marketed as the “ Friendly Neighborhood Spider - Man , ” had numerous Marvel characters in his home universe of discourse , thanks to not only three films , but canonic spinoff material , such as television secret plan , novelization , and one - slam comics . No room Homefeatures three eccentric with Raimi - universe counterparts , yet “ Peter - Two ” and his villain snub this .
All three iterations of Spider - Man come from universes that include legion Marvel quality .

bear on : What If Tobey Maguire Had Been The MCU ’s First Spider - Man
In the Raimi existence , Peter Parker notably interacts with Curt Connors legion time inSpider - Man 2andSpider - Man 3 , and Doctor Connors is said to be a close Quaker and workfellow of Otto Octavius . Neither Octavius nor Peter - Two mentions this when encountering Peter - Three ’s Doctor Connors . Doctor Strange , who ’s mentioned by name inSpider - Man 2by J. Jonah Jameson , speaks to both Octavius and Peter - Two but also does n’t mention that their universe has a Doctor Strange . Behind the view , the determination to cut this may have been to ward off perplexing audiences , but in - universe , there are several likely explanations for the want of acknowledgement .
Doctor Octopus may havebeen friends with his universe ’s Doctor Curt Connors , but he never subsist to see his friend become the Lizard ( which occurred in theSpider - Man 3video biz ) . Though he take heed the name of his friend while gaol in the Sanctum Sanctorum , he likely dismissed it , not believing that the reptilian being in the nearby cell was his friend — or at least a stochastic variable of his acquaintance . As far as Doctor Strange , Octavius only might not be familiar with his universe ’s version of Strange .
Doctor Strange ’s Raimi universe counterpart might also look and sound dissimilar than his MCU similitude . While the MCU ’s J. Jonah Jameson resemble his Raimi vis-a-vis , Doctor Connors is depicted by two different doer in the two universe . This could explain why Maguire ’s Spider - Man did n’t show any familiarity with the MCU ’s Doctor Strange . The Raimi macrocosm ’s Spider - Man did , however , interact with Doctor Connors in both human and Lizard form .
Maguire ’s Spider - Man approached themultiverse scoundrel with the nonchalance of a hoagie who ’s seen and consider with uncounted menace over the years . While potential an unintentional character reference on the filmmaker ’ part , Peter - Two ’s casual sufferance of the alternate macrocosm Lizard and Electro is because he ’s fought his realism ’s versions of them already . Spider - Man : No Way Homemay have ignored the out of sight Marvel characters from the Raimi universe , but the film did n’t contradict any of its traditional knowledge either .
