    AND ITS LIVE.

    Holy shit that laugh at the end is unmistakeable.
    Holy shit, I need Tobey Maguire in this the same way I needed 42 year old Peter B. Parker in Into the Spiderverse. Not even joking. I will riot if we don't have at least a high five between these two. At worst, I'll accept a grinning Bruce Campbell stopping him from entering a building.

    I'll be honest, I didn't really believe the leaks until that trailer.

    Holy shit, they're actually doing this.

    I wonder if they’re going to “fix”
    Goblin and Electro. Well, based on all that yellow lightning, Electro won’t be a smurf. But is Goblin still gonna be a plastic suit of armor?

    That looks fun. I do hope Toby shows up in a Peter B Parker-esk role.

    Maybe he’ll put sand in someone’s eye.

    Also, why would Strange do that? Is it some kind of guilt over knowing Stark would die in Endgame? Seems rather campy, not that I’m complaining, I like camp, I’m just curious as to his motivation.

    That's my thinking. Even when he became a hero, he still has always been arrogant.

    I'm guessing he's doing it to teach Peter to always leave a note.

    Well, as he said,
    they fought Thanos together and saved the universe via their shared sacrifices, one of which killed Peter's mentor-father-figure. I could see Strange feeling some similar mentorly/companion type of feelings and wanting to help Peter.

    Someone said six weeks? I'm seeing maybe the minimum is 45 days.

    I agree that Strange is about as arrogant as Stark, but even then, Strange had a rather pragmatic view and wouldn’t normally risk literal reality for just one kid. He even says as much in Infinity War.

    My guess is it’s in part because Strange feels some guilt/responsibility for Parker because of how he save-scummed defeating Thanos and knew that Tony would die as a consequence. I cannot think of anything else aside from Strange doing it just for the shits and giggles.

    A rumor is that
    That's Matt Murdock in the trailer, when it looks like Peter is with an attorney

    Re: Motivation:
    There's also the fact that Strange thinks that doing it isn't hard, and wouldn't be hard, until Peter screws it all up. Like, clearly it's something that both he and Wong know about off the top of their heads, possible how they cover up magical disturbances to keep them under wraps. Wong just doesn't agree it should be used on Peter since it's outside their wheelhouse.

    RE: General NWH plot from the trailer;
    I love how big of a reset button No Way Home could be, potentially. Just letting them pick and choose from things that were and weren’t MCU canon and drop them in or out as they like once the multiverse of madness gets resolved.

    Also, RE: Strange:
    I hope it’s not just him being arrogant, but actually Mephistopheles somehow.

    I kinda feel like a Doctor would
    Have talked through the procedure before starting it, so that the patient/subject would know what to expect and therefore, you know, be less likely to fuck it up.

    I also think a Doctor would have a sterile environment, so you don't have a teenager who could potentially interfere with a procedure hanging around

    It's possible he needed Peter for whatever *hands wave* reason.

    Also I’m wondering
    Is the end going to be Peter just going with it, going “I Am Spider-Man a la Stark with Iron Man? Strange’s line about Peter leading a double life feels like it’s going to be the key theme so either MCU Peter decides to embrace being a public hero or he Spider-Man No More’s to live a quiet life, so Sony can keep making new non-MCU spidey’s or something.

    Also this definitely feels like Sony
    Finally getting their Sinister Six movie; Goblin, Electro and Ock are on the table we know

    Also
    MCU black suit?

    I can't help but think about how absolutely wild it must be to be
    Andrew Garfield.
    Assuming this means all the other leaks are true.

    Imagine getting the role of Spider-Man.
    Doing well critically but ultimately bombing.

    Losing the franchise.

    Moving on with life.

    Seeing the character you were essentially fired from (unlike Tobey) get recast.

    See it become part of the biggest franchise in Earth.

    ...then your phone rings.

    Recent Marvel TV stuff might be to blame here (WandaVision & Loki)
    I bet this is supposed to be a relatively straightforward, risky but easy spell. But then as they're kicking it off, Sylvie kills He Who Remains and let's the multiverse branch, and Wanda absorbs all that juice and becomes the Scarlet Witch.

    A memory wipe suddenly gets a chaos magic infusion and is applied to the multiverse, and when Peter cancels it, the other movie continuities get pulled over?

    Or it really is a time and space fucking spell, and Strange just wanted to flex, act like he still had access to the Time Stone?

    Oh brilliant

    I'm hyped for this.

    I would've liked to have kept Spider-Man as a lower stakes, street level kinda guy but I guess that horse bolted a few movies ago.

    Here's my guess for how this movie will ultimately end. It involves a big spoiler from the end of the Loki TV show, so don't click if you haven't seen that.
    Spidey and Strange fix the situation and return back to their home dimension. Everything seems normal at first, but then it's revealed, possibly in a post-credits scene, that there's all these big statues of this one dude all over the place, and everyone but Spidey and Strange think it's perfectly normal because they're the statues of the supreme ruler of the universe, no big deal.

    The same thing is going to happen in a handful of other movies, like Ant-Man and the Wasp 2. The heroes travel to another timeline/multiverse, and when they get back they come back to a world that isn't quite how they remember it. And that's what's eventually going to lead to Avengers 5 or whatever the next group-up movie will be, a handful of heroes who still remember the world as it is supposed to be, not one with a galactic dictator.

    Also I can't help but think now that the Morbius trailer was up to something...
    it has Tom Holland Spidey graffiti on a building and ends with Michael Keaton.

    I have a weird feeling this is less about the MCU and more about opening up the Sony toybox...
