Spider-Man: No Way Home Summary
Ephraim Belnap
ACT ONE
The first twenty minutes show what happens to PETER right after his identity is revealed - he and MJ have to run. With Mysterio’s doctored video making it look like Peter tried to kill everyone with Stark battle drones (which Peter did have access to), Spider-Man is looking very bad, Peter Parker is now a public figure, and the public is very split on him. Not to mention the fact that he’s being accused of murder and terrorism. The mantra “Mysterio was right” is popular with the haters.
Over the course of a few weeks, Peter gets a lawyer (Daredevil! He’s in the movies now! Surprise, audience!), who is able to get all the charges against him dropped. Unsurprising, since the video was doctored, the accusations were shaky, and there’s plenty of evidence to exonerate him. But he notes that can’t do anything about public opinion. Peter is now up the river.
Pete and May move out of their apartment into Happy Hogan’s. Happy and May aren’t dating anymore, but Happy is willing to let them stay with him for a while. Peter sleep on the couch, Happy gives up his room for May, and Happy sleeps in the armchair with a sleep apnea machine.
Happy has a very nice and large apartment, and he even has a Stark Case - a mobile Stark workshop and fabricator. Peter tries to keep living his life and preparing for college in his senior year, but media attention is intense, the haters are having a real effect, and the clincher finally happens a few months later when he, Ned, and MJ apply to MIT and find out all three of them have been rejected due to “recent happenings in your (Peter’s) life.”
This is the final straw. Peter goes to DR. STRANGE and asks him to change time. Strange doesn’t have the Time Stone anymore, so he can’t (and wouldn’t anyway), but he has the next best thing - casting a spell to remove people’s knowledge of his identity. It’s apparently not a big deal. He and the apprentices did it to Wong to remove his memory of a New Year’s Eve party. Wong is also the new Sorcerer Supreme, by the way. Strange being snapped for five years left the spot vacant. Maybe Strange will get it back, though.
Strange gets to casting the spell in the Sanctum’s basement, but Peter, realizing EVERYONE will forget, including MJ, asks him to not include her. Strange is mid-spell and says it’s dangerous to be asked during this, but manages to work it in. Peter then remembers Ned should be left out as well, since he’s his confidant, and Strange reluctantly manages that too. And THEN Peter remembers he has to include his aunt too, since she’s so vital in his life. And at this point, Strange is pushed to his limit and the spell goes BERSERK for a second - before Strange contains it, condensing it into A TINY ORANGE SPHERE. He is upset. Peter shouldn’t have messed with the spell. Now it can’t work right now. But hey, he knows Peter has pled his case before MIT, so at least he can know he tried everything.
Peter … didn’t actually do this. He says so. Strange is ticked. You didn’t even try to appeal to the board?! Academic SMASH! Peter tries to rush over to a mixer MIT acceptees were invited to, but THE LADY to talk to is already on the way to the airport. He swings over to the highway bridge and starts making his argument … but they are interrupted. This was in the trailer.
A set of giant robot arms start tearing up the highway. People leave their cars and flee. A man appears attached to them. It’s DOCTOR OCTOPUS, the one and only. “Hello, Peter,” he smirks. And then he attacks.
Ock and Peter fight. It’s touch and go for a minute, but Peter manages to remove a patch of his Stark nano suit and “infect” Ock’s arms with it, linking them to his own suit’s network and ordering them to shut off. During the struggle, he also saves the life of the MIT admissions lady, and witnessing his selfless nature, the lady agrees to rethink the trio’s MIT admissions. Peter is elated, but then sees a second figure … and hears him cackling in the distance, as an orange glowing bomb lands on the bridge. We see the GREEN GOBLIN, flying on his glider nearby.
And then there’s a flash of orange light and suddenly Pete and Octavius are back in Strange’s basement, with Octavius in a cell. There’s also another person imprisoned - the LIZARD(!), pacing restlessly.
Strange is there; he magicked the nearest people back to the Sanctum to parse this out. He’s ticked, and explained what happened. When Peter screwed up the spell, he messed up the multiverse (that’s real by the way, Peter is staggered). Now, people in the multiverse who know Spider-Man’s identity are starting to leak into their reality. He sensed the Lizard right after Pete left and grabbed him, then rushed over to Pete and Ock right after.
Pete has to round them up fast. There’s no telling what kind of damage these people could do, and there’s no telling what kind of effect it could have on Peter’s life. More simplistically, in the vast, vast multiverse, there might be INFINITE people who know who Peter Parker is, which means the Earth might be destroyed by sheer, massive overpopulation if the spell keeps going.
He gives Peter a ZAPPY GAUNTLET - he shoots multiverse intruders, and they’ll be teleported to the cells in the Sanctum basement. Once they have everybody, Strange will undo the spell - the orange sphere, now contained in A CUBE-SHAPED FRAME - and everyone will return to their respective times.
END ACT ONE
START ACT TWO
Meanwhile, in a New York alley, a man discards his gloves and GIANT GOBLIN MASK. It’s NORMAN OSBORN, in the flesh.
The Green Goblin is a split personality that switches unpredictably - Norman Osborn is jerkish, but no murderer. The Green Goblin is a giggling, unsettling, sociopath who happily tried to kill a cartload of children in his first film. Goblin’s mask, representing his dark half, tries to tempt Norman, but Norman smashes it in fear and gets some coats and a hoodie out of a dumpster.
Peter gets to work, but enlists Ned and MJ to be his mission control, working out of the basement. Octavius listens restlessly, but has come to terms with what’s happening. He also recognizes their description of the Green Goblin, which piques his interest, since he remembers the Goblin from the news of his timeline. The group search for unusual activity and find a report upstate. Peter web-swings up there and find out it’s … ELECTRO, feeding on some massive power lines. But that’s not all - SANDMAN is there too, confused about what’s going on. Peter zaps them back successfully and even builds some friendship with SANDMAN, who has no real animosity towards him. And then he gets a phone call from Aunt May. One of the people he’s looking for is at her work.
Peter rushes to the homeless shelter May works at desperate to save her, but it turns out she’s tending to a lucid and scared Norman Osborn, who’s aware that he has another personality, and scared of what it’ll do. Peter is suspicious, but May reminds him that this is obviously a man in pain, and they need to have compassion for him. Peter agrees and takes Norman back to the Sanctum, but Strange zaps him into a cell before he can explain, and here is where things get complicated.
The villains have been talking. Otto specifically has insight, because he REMEMBERS from the news at the time that the Green Goblin died from being impaled on his glider while fighting Spider-Man. The five compare notes, remembering where they were when they suddenly came here. Doc Ock was fighting Spider-Man in his warehouse. Electro was in a power station about to become pure energy. Lizard was fighting Spider-Man over his giant lizardizing machine. The five reach a sobering conclusion. All of them - bar Sandman - were about to die.
Norman Osborn has been looking a little creepy all of a sudden, and this does not bode well. But Peter has been too busy listening to notice. So has Strange. And Pete remembers what May just told him. If they send these men back to their universes as is, they’ll all be killed.
Pete grabs the Spell Cube. Strange gives him a warning - “Don’t do this.” But Peter makes a break for it. They can’t send these men back like this to be killed. He tries to run, and Strange pursues him. He even zaps back Pete’s zappy gauntlet. But Peter is persistent, so Strange has to throw him into the kaleidoscope-like Mirror Dimension. This backfires! Peter recognizes the shifting geometrical patterns erupting around him, and manages to fire webs in directions that’ll surprise Strange, eventually enough to tie him up like a fly and retain the cube, even stealing Strange’s SLING RING (teleportal ring) before he goes.
Having formed a rapport with them all, and confident he can contain them, Peter takes them to Happy’s apartment. He still hasn’t noticed anything off about Osborn. Instead, he fires up the Stark Case from earlier, and sets about inventing cures for each of the villain’s issues. No powers or psychosis, no reason to keep fighting and get killed. May is there, too.
First up is Doc Ock. Peter invents a new neurochip to prevent the robot arms’ AI from controlling Otto (this is direct from Spider-Man 2 of course), and … it works perfectly, rendering Otto a sane and compassionate man. Peter re-absorbs the nano-bonds from him and gets a neat little logo added to his Far From Home suit.
He next works on cures for Electro and Norman. He invents a chest-piece device for Electro, designed to permanently siphon the excess electricity that creates his powers. It begins “loading” up to its working point, during which Sandman and Electro chat. While they do this, Peter and Norman make a chemical solution to cure Norman’s Green Goblinism, stored in a large medical needle they’ll have to stab into him. Norman has offered to help him, since he’s something of a scientist himself. But suddenly, Peter suddenly feels a strong spider-sense tingle, moves around the apartment, and - identifying the threat - webs Norman’s hand to a wall.
…
The Goblin drops the pretense that Norman was still in control. He laughs hysterically, mocking Peter as weak and deriding the whole endeavor. And Electro, rebellious and self-admittedly not hot about losing his powers, decides to switch sides, removing his chest-piece, STEALING the arc reactor from the Stark Case - power he’s never had before - and going AWOL. Lizard makes a break for it too, not really giving a fig about all of this. Doc Ock and Sandman try to pursue them but are unsuccessful.
But this is all second priority, because Goblin breaks out of the webbing and comes for Peter.
Peter tells May to run and engages him, but Goblin still has the super-strength he’s always had, and now, he’s bigger than Peter Parker. The two struggle and fight, but Goblin tanks his blows and laughs in his face. They eventually fight down to the building’s lobby, where May has just arrived after taking the stairs, holding the Goblin cure Peter devised. Goblin has Peter on the ropes, but May manages to stab him with the cure … only for it to not work, “Norman” having sabotaged it.
He laughs once more, and summons his glider to take him away. It bursts through the doors and hits May in the side, and as Goblin departs … he throws a pumpkin bomb in May’s direction. Peter half swats it away, and half covers it with his own body. There’s a big boom.
Peter survives, but is bruised and bloody, saying some bones feel broken. May is apparently okay too, and comforts an emotional Peter, telling him he tried to do the right thing and that he shouldn’t feel bad. Peter, teary-eyed, says that maybe this wasn’t his responsibility, but May responds that he has great power, so there must also come great responsibility.
And then she falls down. Some policemen are outside, but they aren’t coming in yet. Peter holds her close, telling her they’ll get an ambulance for her soon … and then he discovers a wound in her side.
It’s pretty bloody.
May tries to console him, and he tries to console her, but suddenly, all too quickly, she’s losing consciousness. This can’t be happening, but it seems to be. She tells him she loves him one last time, faints … and passes away.
END ACT TWO
START ACT THREE
Peter … doesn’t feel good. His aunt is dead, he failed to cure the villains, and J. Jonah Jameson, who by the way, has been present from the beginning of the movie and been talking crap the entire time, is now on a billboard in Times Square blaming him for the civilian death the police have reported. This is his lowest point.
Meanwhile, Ned and MJ are at Ned’s house with the Spell Cube. Ned has Strange’s Sling Ring, and successfully summoned sparks with it earlier! Peter told them to activate the cube (“press the button”) if he didn’t contact them in x amount of time as a failsafe, but now they don’t want to. MJ suggests using the Sling Ring to try and find Peter, and Ned, seeing no other option, gives it a try … and discovers it works! He creates a portal! And he asks for the ring to show him Spider-Man. And it shows him Spider-Man.
He and MJ see Spider-Man through the portal and usher him through from the dark alleyway he’s standing in. He steps out of the shadows and into Ned’s living room … and we see it isn’t MCU Spider-Man. It’s another, taller, Spider-Man. Could it be, could it, he takes off his mask, yes! It’s Andrew Garfield!! Holy crap!!!
“Hey guys, “ he says. “What’s up?”
MJ and Ned are nonplussed. How do we know you’re a Peter? Do you have ID? No, I don’t carry ID, it kind of defeats the concept of a secret identity. Okay, do something Spider-powered. Does this count? He hangs from one hand from the ceiling. No, it doesn’t count. Wall-crawl and clean out that cobweb in the corner. He does so reluctantly. I guess it’s Spider-Man. But where’s he from? He explains that he showed up here earlier in the day and has been trying to figure it out too, but maybe they can help him. Regardless, they all realize they still don’t have the Spider-Man they need, so Ned turns around and tries portal’ing for Spider-Man again. Maybe they’ll find their Peter, or maybe there’s more Spider-Men out there?
A second man, this time in normal clothing, steps through .. and it’s Tobey Maguire!?! By gosh! Ba-bada-baaa! Ba-bada-baaa! (This is the John Cena music)
He looks older, about the actor’s forty-six years. His ears are bigger. There’s some white in his hair. He’s got major pleasant old man energy. Spends a lot of time thinking about what you said before answering. But he’s still the man. And he’s got the eyes of a particularly nice puppy.
“I don’t know how I got here, but I’m sure we can figure something out.”
He and Andrew Garfield have some friction for a second, but they work it out. After some catch-up, Tobey Peter says they’ll probably find MCU Peter at a place that’s important to him. Ned and MJ realize he’s on the roof of their high school where they talked about getting into MIT at the start.
On the roof, M!Peter is brooding, but Ned, MJ and the two Peters show up, and they talk through what Peter’s feeling. He feels bad, but Andrew Garfield knows what it’s like to lose a girl you love. And Tobey Peter knows what it feels like to be directly responsible for your relative’s death. It’s not insurmountable right now. He isn’t alone. M!Peter gathers himself, gets some hugs, and the three Peters get to work.
They decide to use the high school science lab to finish making the cures. Tobey Peter can handle Goblin’s and a Sandman countermeasure, Andrew knows enough to handle Lizard’s, and M!Peter manages to recreate the Electro chest-piece. During this, the three talk, and we find out that Andrew!Peter has been getting a little tougher on crime since the events of his sequel, and Tobey Peter implies that things have been complicated, but basically okay with his own MJ, although this is all he says. Presumably, this is because they’re not sure how they wanna use Kirsten Dunst in the future so they’re leaving it open to either way.
Andrew is pretty chaotic. One second he’s tough guy snarker, next second he’s almost crying remembering Gwen Stacy, next second he’s overwhelmed with friendliness and happiness at having two more Spider-Men. But he’s still good.
The three decide to have the final battle away from where people can interrupt and decide on the Statue of Liberty, which they Sling Ring to. Before this, Andrew and M!Peter are freaked out that Tobey Pete doesn’t need web-shooters, and wonder if he can shoot it out of anywhere, or if he ever runs out. Lolz.
While they set up, they chat about their various villains, and M!Peter gets some envy for having fought an alien on Earth AND in space. Tobey Peter is generally very encouraging. “Don’t say you’re not amazing, man.” They set-up the devices for each person somewhere around the Statue. The Statue is being renovated and is absolutely surrounded by scaffolding. Said renovation is a giant Captain America shield being added in front of the right hand, so now the statue is holding the shield aloft instead of the torch.
Eventually Sandman, Electro and Lizard arrive. Sandman makes it clear that he just wants to push the button on the box and end this (which Ned and MJ have), but he’s still fighting them now. The trio attack, but falter temporarily and have to regroup, most of them used to fighting solo. M!Peter manages to assert dominance by saying he’s most qualified, having worked with the Avengers. The Peters are pleased but also … have no idea what that is. Is that a band? He explains what is, and also assigns numbering (“I’m Peter 1! You’re Peter 2 and Peter 3!”) so they can signal each other right.
The three swing back into action and are a bit more effective. Cool music plays. Tobey Peter manages to cure Sandman. Doc Ock shows up again and apparently seems to betray Andrew Garfield to Electro, but then uses it as a cover to get close to Electro and rip the arc reactor out of his chest. Electro fizzles out for a second, and Garfield uses it to re-apply the cure chest-piece, which now activates instantly. Electro successfully blasts one of Ock’s tentacles off, so he takes a knee.
Andrew takes off his mask now that Electro is harmless and the two have a follow-up talk about their character dynamics from Amazing Spider-Man 2. Electro expresses surprise, saying that since Spider-Man is from Queens, isn’t liked by the cops, and helps a lot of poor people … he kind of assumed he was black. Garfield can’t really say anything to this, but Electro says that he’s not too bothered, since if this multiverse stuff is real, there’s probably a black Spider-Man out there. References!
Meanwhile, M!Peter has run into a problem. Ned Sling Ringed them to the Statue of Liberty from the lab, but he wasn’t able to close it at the start of the fight. We saw him open several, but never actually closed them. Lizard came after him and MJ for a second and he and she ended up running onto the scaffolding, putting them in the danger zone. A less than ideal scenario. M!Peter and Garfield intercept Lizard, though, and Garfield manages to tranq Lizard with the lizard-curing formula, rendering him a mortal man again. The main three villains have been neutralized. And who shows up, but Dr. Strange, having finally gotten free from the Mirror Dimension. He’s ticked, but when M!Peter explains they’ve successfully rehabilitated the villains, he softens for a second.
This is all too bad, though. A storm of pumpkin bombs fly through the air and decimate the scaffolding! The giant Captain America shield is dislodged and falls down by the edge of the island.
Green Goblin - wearing a patchwork of his coats and armor - swoops out of the sky and snatches the Spell Cube from Ned. Tobey Peter webs out and grabs it back, but he looks down at it and realizes - Goblin left a live bomb inside its casing.
The bomb explodes - thankfully Peter throws it enough to avoid injury - but the resultant explosion knocks MJ off the side, sending her falling down to her death!?!
M!Peter leaps … and is too slow. She falls too fast. But who comes out of nowhere, but Andrew Garfield! Who leaps from a lower level, catches her expertly, then slows their descent perfectly so she lands safe. MJ sees Garfield gets emotional for a second, and it’s clear that Garfield is glad he successfully caught the falling girl this time (he didn’t in Amazing Spider-Man 2).
But meanwhile, now the spell is uncontained! Shoot!
Strange leaps on it and restrains it with magic, but warns that they have minutes before the full brunt of the spell is unleashed - everyone who knows who Peter Parker is, which is potentially an INFINITE number - are going to come through, and it’s going to devastate the world. He casts a spell to buy them some time, but it’s not much. And the Green Goblin is still out there. Peter jumps out to meet him. The two crash and fall by the edge of the island, landing on the Captain America shield.
When this all started, it was night. But now the sun is rising, and the two face off in the dawn. Peter is PISSED. Goblin nearly just killed MJ. More importantly, he killed Aunt May.
“Are you going to CURE me, too?” Goblin taunts.
“No,” Peter spits. “I just wanted to kill you myself.”
The two fight. Goblin is laughing like a freak. A blade extends from his gauntlet that he slashes with. Peter dodges and evades. He’s not as strong as Tobey, but he’s determined. He gradually wears him down. Goblin doesn’t seem to mind, though. Peter beats him down brutally, getting him on his knees. Meanwhile, Andrew finds a banged-up Tobey in the wreckage. Andrew has also grabbed the new Goblin cure they made. The two get up and start making their way to M!Peter.
Peter has got Goblin beat. He’s won. And then he spots Goblin’s glider nearby. He walks over. Picks it up. Brings it to Goblin. Raises it up. He’s about to bring its spiked front down through the Goblin’s still-laughing form. Screw this guy. He’s gonna do it.
And then Tobey Peter steps in front of him and holds it in place. Doesn’t say anything. Doesn’t judge. Just looks him in the eye. Let’s him know what he’s thinking. Maybe this isn’t what they need to do today.
And then Goblin stabs Tobey through the back with his blade. What a dick!
Tobey falls down in pain. And then Andrew, who was right behind Tobey, throws Peter the Goblin cure, and Peter stabs Goblin in the neck with it. This time, it’s gonna work. And it does. Goblin falls down, his laughter fading, puny Norman now coming back, scared and worried again.
M!Peter and Andrew cluster around Tobey. Tobey explains that it hurts, but that Peter did the right thing. Then the sky thunders again and Peter remembers he has to wrap this up. Octopus, Electro, Sandman, Goblin, Lizard - everyone’s cured. Andrew raises a smiling Tobey up, holding him on his shoulder. He’s definitely hurt, maybe disablingly so. But not fatally. No big worry. The three say their goodbyes and have a group hug. Perhaps they’ll see each other again. It was great to know they have each other. Andrew and Tobey proudly watch M!Peter run to tell Strange.
“You’re in a lot of pain right now, aren’t you?” Andrew says.
“Oh, yeah.” Tobey responds immediately.
Peter reaches Strange. Says they’re a go. Strange sighs in relief. But explains they have the same problem. People still know Peter’s Spider-Man. And it might only get worse. But Peter has a solution he thinks he ought to take.
“You could cast a spell to make people forget who Spider-Man was. Can you cast a spell to make people forget who Peter Parker is?”
“Peter,” Strange says. “That’s … a very serious request. It won’t just be regular people. Everyone who knows you, including your friends, and even me …… are going to forget.”
“I know,” Peter says, “…But it’s the right thing to do.”
Strange prods him a little, but Peter stands firm. But he asks for a few more minutes to say goodbye to his friends. Strange assents, and gives him a heartfelt goodbye. It was nice knowing him. Peter swings down to find Ned and MJ.
He finds them. In the early light, the three embrace, so glad that they all made it. Peter thanks them sincerely. And then reveals the plan. The two are initially reluctant, but immediately switch tacks. Peter will find them again. He can just tell them what happened, and they’ll figure it out. Their friendship is too strong to be beaten by this. They’re not giving up. But they’re sad. Ned gives him a long hug. MJ looks him in the eye and promises him she’s not giving up on him. And then she and Peter - who have only had time for hasty pecks and first-time attempts in this film - have a full-blown, wind-in-their-hair, sun-is-shining kiss for the ages. It’s also the last time they might have one, they’re worried. They break away. And then Strange releases the spell.
The villains fade - Octopus, Lizard, Sandman, Electro. Even Goblin disappears, with Norman back in control and sad-looking. Tobey and then Andrew disappear. And the sun rises on a new day.
On the TV, J. Jonah Jameson blares his dislike for Spider-Man and his actions. But now demands that Spider-Man come forward and reveal his true identity! The spell worked.
We cut to Peter an indeterminate amount of time later, snow now coming down in the city. His face injuries are healed. It’s probably been a couple weeks. He looks at some cue cards he has, practicing introducing himself to MJ again. It’s a weird scenario, but it’s possible. He walks into her place of work; the donut shop where she, he, and Ned all first opened their MIT letter together. It’s a special place. He walks in, sees MJ, locks eyes with her … and Ned walks in right behind him, and waves hi to MJ with a brilliant smile.
Ned walks up to her.
And nothing else.
Thought they were gonna kiss for a moment. But no. Phew. That would’ve hurt. But Ned does pull out his MIT letter. The two chat, and it’s revealed they both got in! It’s all good! Ned has to go after a while, and MJ comes around to the front to attend to Peter. What would he like?
Peter tries to start saying something. The two have a few exchanges, talking about their lives. He says something she said to him at the start of the film. But he looks her in the eye for a moment … and realizes maybe this isn’t right. Maybe not right now. Maybe not here. Maybe not ever. It’s not clear. But he gives her a heartfelt thank you and walks out of the store. Personally, I think he realized pitching it to her while she was at work was never gonna work, and that he’s gotta work his way up to revealing this. There’s gotta be tons of ways he can prove all this. She’s wearing the Black Dahlia necklace he got for her in the last movie, for heck’s sake! “Where did you get that?” “Well, gee, I don’t know.” There’s evidence everywhere. He can work his way into this bit-by-bit. She knows what kind of world they live in! This is far from implausible.
But regardless, he walks out. He walks into a small apartment. This is where he’s living now. Rent is due on the first. It’s a new day. Peter jumps out of his window to go patrolling, and we see a sewing machine on his desk with strips of red and blue material. We cut to Peter swinging and we see he has a new suit. Simpler, home-made. Echoing the suits he saw on Andrew and Tobey. And as he swings out into the snow, the screen cuts to black.

POST-CREDITS SCENE ONE:
There is then a post-credits scene. To clarify:
(In the post-credits scene of Venom: There Will Be Carnage, Eddie Brock was lying on his bed and got beamed into another universe, where a TV was showing at that exact moment the Mysterio broadcast about Spider-Man being Peter. This scene is presumably a continuation of that)
Eddie Brock is sitting at a bar, trying to understand that apparently a purple alien disappeared half the universe with a bunch of sparkly rocks in this world, to the exasperation of a bartender who had half his family disappear. The Venom symbiote is a little skeptical too, but more understanding. But unfortunately, at this very moment, Strange’s return-to-sender spell activates, and Eddie disappears from this world, presumably back to his own universe along with the rest of the villains and Spideys. He totally missed the action. The bartender continues with his work. But we see on the table that a tiny smudge of Venom’s goo-essence has remained in this world. It twitches. Shoot.
—
POST-CREDITS SCENE TWO:
Then there is a second post-credits scene. It’s basically a trailer for the next Doctor Strange - Doctor Strange: Multiverse of Madness.
Some mysterious scary voice explains that Strange will pay for his interference with the universe. Apparently he’s transgressed the cosmic order in some way.
It seems like they’re talking about Strange seeing the future and making the call that led to Endgame in Infinity War (giving Thanos the Time Stone, which led to the Snap but then the Blip and then all that stuff). That would definitely count as universe, space-time interfering shenanigans. But it could also very easily be about Strange messing with the multiverse just now in No Way Home. Or it could be both. Maybe one strike was overlookable but two strikes isn’t. Or maybe letting the Time Stone get destroyed was a no-no. But regardless, Strange has something to do - find Wanda Maximoff.
He does, discovering her in some cabin in the country surrounded by white-leafed trees. Apparently she’s been studying up on the multiverse, and they have a problem. We see Mordo (Chiwetel Ejiofor’s character) from the first Dr Strange, and he’s grown some wicked-looking long dreads, down past his shoulders. There’s some other footage, vague portendings. And then Mordo says,
“The greatest threat in the multiverse …”
-And we cut to an evil-looking, purple-eyed, tatted-up, white-robed version of Doctor Strange-
… is you.”
