Spider-Verse 2 reportedly includes a major reference to one of the MCU’s biggest movies from Phase 4, according to scooper Daniel Richtman. Richtman’s report states that the multiverse-impacting events of Spider-Man: No Way Home may be referenced in June’s Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse, the sequel to 2018’s beloved Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse.
While Tom Holland himself will not appear as Peter Parker in the animated film, the mess he got into with Doctor Strange will be mentioned. The animated film will reference “a certain event” that was bad for the multiverse, and “the mess that Doctor Strange & that nerdy kid caused”, with Peter Parker referred to as “the nerdy kid” due to him being forgotten by the world at the end of No Way Home.
This manner of referencing the events of No Way Home may seem familiar to fans, as it resembles a conversation with Doctor Strange, Wong, and America Chavez in Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness. As they sit in a cafe, the three discuss “an incident with Spider-Man,” but seem to have no apparent recollection or knowledge of the man behind the mask.
The concept of a Multiverse lends itself well to big-screen Marvel, as it can explain why there have been so many different versions of characters like Spider-Man over the years in different franchises and from different companies. As such, it will be interesting to see what other implications the potential combination of two cinematic Multiverses would have. A Multiverse implies infinite possibilities, meaning technically the MCU’s version of the Multiverse would have a universe where Into the Spider-Verse took place, and vice versa.
The possibility of an established connection between the MCU and Sony’s Spider-Man Universe brings into the realm of possibility appearances from fan-favorite Spider-Verse characters in the MCU’s future projects. Fans may have the chance to see that fact explored in more depth if this crossover – even just through a simple mention – were to take place.
Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse hits theaters on June 2, and fans can’t wait to see what other references to the MCU will be included in the film. This connection to Phase 4 of the MCU is exciting news for fans of both franchises and could pave the way for even more crossovers in the future.
