Released last December, Spider-Man: No Way Home, Spider-Man’s third adventure in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, is not lacking in surprises and plot twists.
Indeed, at the start of this new feature film worn by Tom Holland, Peter Parker suddenly finds himself unmasked. His secret identity having been revealed to the general public, he is suddenly accused of having caused the death of Quentin Beck, alias Mysterio. What seriously tarnish his reputation and ruin his social life (as well as that of his relatives).
In order to fix everything, he decides to contact one of his ex-teammates in the Avengers: the powerful Doctor Strange. Thanks to a special spell, the latter is thus supposed to allow him to modify reality, and to make everyone forget who Spider-Man really is. But following the young man’s successive hesitations during the operation, things go wrong, and the multiverse is altered.
A particularly important event which will have the effect of bringing in characters from other realities, such as Dr. Octopus, the Green Goblin, Electro… and even two other Peter Parkers, played by Tobey Maguire and Andrew Garfield.

This massive upheaval, however, was not caused solely by the clumsiness of Spider-Man. Indeed, as the big boss of the MCU Kevin Feige recently declared, it is due to another accident, which occurred at the end of the Loki series, that this new disturbance could take place.
“There is always logic in the madness, even in that of the multiverse”thus declared the boss of the MCU during the preview of Doctor Strange 2, at the microphone of marvel.com.
“Loki and Sylvie did something at the end of their series that made it all possible. “He Who Remains” [ndlr : alias Kang le Conquérant, incarné par Jonathan Majors] not here anymore. And it caused a spell to malfunction in Spider-Man: No Way Home, which led to the entire multiverse going insane in Doctor Strange 2.”

According to the words of Kevin Feige, the anomaly that occurred during Strange’s spell is therefore directly linked to the disappearance of Kang at the end of Loki. This twist, followed by the division of the temporal flow into multiple nexus, is therefore indeed at the origin of this great upheaval within the multiverse.
As we could already suspect, this event is very likely the high point of the new Marvel phase, and will therefore be decisive for the adventures to come.
