SPIDER-MAN: NO WAY HOME's Spell May Have Had Consequences For Peter #2 And #3 As Well - Possible SPOILERS

Spider-Man: No Way Home ended with Doctor Strange making the world forget Peter Parker existed, but a new rumour suggests that had wider Multiversal consequences. Find more details after the jump...

In Spider-Man: No Way Home, Peter Parker turned to Doctor Strange for help after Mysterio revealed his secret identity to the world. The former Sorcerer Supreme was more than willing to lend a helping hand, only for his spell to quickly go wrong.

That was because Peter tried making a series of changes to the incantation, ensuring his friends and family would remember the fact they'd learned his identities (if MJ hadn't found out, would fate have still brought them together?).

With a host of villainous Variants subsequently pulled into Earth-616, Spidey was outmatched until he got a helping hand from his Friendly Neighbourhood and Amazing counterparts. 

Despite managing to "cure" those supervillains, reality started tearing apart and Peter had to get Strange to finish the spell...with everyone forgetting the fact he, not Spider-Man, exists. 

Now, a new rumour suggests Strange's spell had far-reaching consequences. 

According to leaker @MyTimeToShineH, everyone on Peter #2 (Tobey Maguire) and Peter #3's (Andrew Garfield) worlds also forget them. This likely had dire consequences for them both, but particularly the former if he and Mary Jane Watson eventually got married and had children. 

It's unclear when or where this plot thread will be addressed, though it could explain what brings the three Spider-Men together again. They probably won't be overly happy with the MCU's web-slinger, and we'd imagine Spider-Man 4 and Avengers: Secret Wars are the likeliest projects to pick up on the consequences of Peter #1's actions.

Marvel Studios and Sony Pictures reportedly have very different hopes for Spider-Man 4, with the former wanting to tell a grounded street-level story and the latter eager to bring the Spider-Men together again on screen. After all, Spider-Man: No Way Home became the studio's biggest movie ever in 2021 when it grossed over $1.9 billion. 

"The story never ends," Garfield previously said of potentially reprising the role. "Whether we film it or not, there's a story happening in a universe somewhere, there's endless potential with this character and other iterations. So yeah, he's definitely out there doing something."

He'd later say that his Peter likely returned home "re-inspired to follow his destiny" and "incredibly reinvigorated" after learning there were others just like him out there. 

As for Maguire, he's said, "I love these films and I love all of the different series. If these guys called me and said, 'Would you show up tonight to hang out and goof around?' or 'Would you show up to do this movie or read a scene or do a Spider-Man thing?', it would be a 'Yes!' Because why wouldn't I want to do that?"

But I thought the whole point of that final spell was to make it simple and not involve the multiverse thereby making everyone go back to their home dimension and tying everything up with a bow.

That was the sacrifice. Tom Holland's Peter learned the lesson to sacrifice what he wanted in favor of not disrupting everyone else's lives anymore. That was the whole point.

@ObserverIO - Exactly, it cheapens his 'sacrifice' cause he basically [frick]ed up other SM's lives anyway. He didn't really fix anything in the end agreeing with DS's spell.

@ObserverIO - But if every other villain was being pulled into 616 because they knew *a* Peter was Spider-Man, why would they only forget about Holland?
Matador
Matador - 5/20/2024, 9:22 AM
@ObserverIO - Anyone with a Peter Parker name during the multiverse window was open made everyone forget who they were, which caused a domino effect muck up.

@ObserverIO - And if true, it honestly should make people more pissed at Dr Strange. Definitely frustrates me.

Did the stupid kid make stupid mistakes; sure. But Strange, you’re supposed to be the dang Sorcerer Supreme! You’re telling me he could think of no other solutions. Couldn’t even give it a night to think it over; maybe make the world forget Mysterio’s video? Maybe see if there’s some colleges he has pull with and could write a letter and never even pick up his shiny magic wand?

@OmegaBlack13 - Because the first spell was messed up bu Holland. Originally it was only gonna make everyone in the Sacred Timeline forget that Peter was Spider-Man, but he kept changing it mid-spell, it was chaotic and it ended up having multiversal consequences.
But the final spell to make everyone forget Peter Parker was a simple one. It wasn't chaotic with a million stipulations, so it did only what it was meant to do and that's why everyone returned to their multiverse, because the spell was simplified instead of being confusing.

So it should only affect MCU Pete.
ObserverIO
ObserverIO - 5/20/2024, 2:24 PM
@SonOfAGif - That's true, but I think they just meant that there were people who got stuck in the wrong dimension, like DaVinci Vulture on Earth 65 and MCU Vulture in the Sonyverse.

TheVisionary25 - 5/20/2024, 6:59 AM
Maybe but aren’t the Spiderverse characters in the same Multiverse aswell?

If so then I feel it should have affected someone like Peter B Parker too but maybe I’m misreading the whole thing.

Anyway , I hope this is not true and only affected MCU Peter’s world mainly because I don’t want the brotherly bond the Peters formed to sour.

@TheVisionary25 - This is why I think the whole idea that literally every Marvel thing is in the same multiverse is kinda dumb. Wouldn’t this then affect Comic Peter as well? Just feels like it unnecessarily complicates things.

Nice, and my time to shine hello based that on the very trusted source "voices from her head" since it hasn't been addressed by anyone and doesn't even matter since we're never gonna see those worlds again, but of course a trust source she has have this answer. Jesus [frick]ing christ.

This is stupid af, so no. Dr Strange would not involve the other Peter's, because that's not who he was talking to. This site needs to stop reporting MyTimeToShine garbage.

I mean, isn't that obvious? The entire point of the spell was to counter the previous spell that was bringing in anyone from the multiverse who knows peter Parker is spiderman. So the only way it would logically fix things is if it effected the multiverse.
bkmeijer1
bkmeijer1 - 5/20/2024, 7:25 AM
I kinda assumed it was just the people on the MCU-616 Earth who forgot about Peter Parker, since the spell was that everyone in the world forgot Peter Parker. I kinda even think off-worlders like Peter Quill and Thor actually remember Peter Parker
TheVisionary25
TheVisionary25 - 5/20/2024, 7:32 AM
@bkmeijer1 - yeah , I don’t think it makes narrative sense for it to affect other Peter’s because the only reason it messed up in the first place was because Peter wanted to have it all but by the end he accepts his fate thus showing how much he has matured

To have it still mess up to some degree nullifys that a bit and makes it a bit less satisfying.

Some internet grifter bum gets a dumb idea, says it is from a "source". Occasionally they get lucky and they figured out what writers are going to do. Doubtful in this case.

But did curing the villains alter those timelines? Did the villains return and die or return & live?

Whatever, the MCU recreated the same cluster[frick] mess that Marvel Comics' made with 'One More Day' and 'Brand New Day'. But under Feige's incompetent direction, the MCU actually made it a much bigger cluster[frick] mess!

It is ironic that Feige will use Secret Wars to try to fix the cluster[frick] when it was Secret Wars mini-series competition from DC's Crisis On Infinite Earths that was made to fix continuity cluster[frick]s.

Years after the film was released now they drop this technicality? Really? Anyway I’m not excited for Spider-Man 4 but I’m not against it. As long as the film is good that’s all that matters. They need to decide on what direction they want to go in.

No. According to Kevin (or one of the producers/directors), the reason Strange's spell didn't work was because the alternative universes were too close together because Sylvie killed He Who Remains. Stephen just was not aware of it, so he blamed Peter.

Please stop trying to convince us your assumptions are facts.

Show me…Spider-man, wait…Spider-man is Peter Parker.

Peter is not to blame for the spell going wrong - it is 100% the fault of Dr Strange. Peter was a desperate, panicked teenager asking a professional for help. Dr Strange was the adult in the room. Dr Strange was the professional in the room. As an MD, Strange certainly is aware of the need for informed consent, and yet obviously didn't explain anything to Peter before actually starting to cast the spell. The changing of the spell on the fly would have been unnecessary if Strange had simply had a discussion with Peter before starting to cast it. To make matters worse was Strange trying to put the blame on Peter, and hypocritically criticizing Peter after the fact for asking him to mind rape the world. Peter was a desperate teenager asking for help, Dr Strange was the adult professional who said ok no problem.

I wondered if this would be addressed, because tbh it’s the only thing that makes sense. If villains from different worlds were pulled in because they knew, why would everyone only forget 616 Peter?
TheVisionary25
TheVisionary25 - 5/20/2024, 9:03 AM
@OmegaBlack13 - they only got pulled in because of the mess up

The end to me always felt like it was just MCU Peter’s world because the spell went off as originally intended.

It makes sense, but it also would be an entirely unnecessary plot line that would take too long to resolve for all three of them. Let it be Holland’s problem so he can work through it. This gives us another movie (or three) with Black cat, symbiote suit, venom, Madame Web, a real sinister 6, and more.

This sounds like a transcript from a TikTok video trying to get clicks and engagement.

Also would be pretty stupid and an unnecessary call back.
