To this theory’s credit, making Wong’s request at the start of No Way Home the inadvertent reason why he still remembers Peter Parker is the kind of tongue-in-cheek twist that fits with Marvel’s brand of storytelling. The Marvel Cinematic Wongverse - One of the few things that everyone seems to agree on when it comes to Spider-Man: No Way Home is that Marvel and Sony are going to find some way in one of its sequels to make certain characters remember Peter Parker. Wong (Benedict Wong) was right: Strange should not have cast that spell. That would make Wong the only person in the MCU who, as far as we know, still knows who Peter Parker is.įortunately, Wong is the Sorcerer Supreme, which means he’s about as powerful a friend as Peter Parker could hope to have. Specifically, this theory argues that Strange may have left Wong out of not only his and Peter’s plans, but also the spell that he casts at the end of No Way Home.

The user notes that Wong very pointedly tells Strange early in the film to “leave out” of whatever he and Peter are planning to do, which is a moment that could come back around in an unexpected way. The Theory - In a recent Reddit post, u/jrfoster01 theorized that Wong (Benedict Wong) may have been excluded from Doctor Strange’s spell. Well, one clever new fan theory argues that there may still be one person in the MCU who does remember Holland’s Peter Parker. What’s the point in any of the film’s biggest supporting characters returning if they don’t know who Peter Parker is? It’s a bittersweet final note, and it leaves Parker’s future in the Marvel Cinematic Universe in an odd place. Consequently, the film’s final moments see Holland’s Peter Parker swinging through New York City, his anonymity restored in exchange for the erasure of all his personal relationships. At the end of Spider-Man: No Way Home, Peter Parker (Tom Holland) is forced to fix his universe’s crumbling reality by letting Doctor Strange (Benedict Cumberbatch) cast a spell that results in everyone forgetting who he is.
