After a long wait for news about the development of the Marvel Cinematic Universe’s Spider-Man: No Way Home was packed with surprises and its events had major consequences in the MCU, leaving the audience wondering what will happen to Tom Holland’s Peter Parker and how much his multiversal chaos will continue to affect the MCU, all of which can be answered in the highly-anticipated Spider-Man 4.
Spider-Man: No Way Home saw Peter and Doctor Strange (Benedict Cumberbatch) accidentally opening the gates to the multiverse and unleashing multiversal chaos after villains from past Spider-Man movies crossed over as well as two of Peter’s variants. At the end of No Way Home, the only solution to stop this chaos was casting a spell that would make the world forget Peter Parker, and so Peter was left all alone and starting over from scratch. This makes way for a variety of possibilities for Spider-Man’s future in the MCU, making Spider-Man 4 more exciting, and thanks to Feige’s update, there’s an idea of when a new Spider-Man movie could arrive.
