The Multiverse of Madness starts in the next Spider-Man film! Doctor Strange joins the next Spidey movie
- Thread starter Wingfan19
- Start date
I guess Spiderverse was so popular they figured why not do it for real? That way you can have Tom Hardy and Jared Leto hanging with Michael Keaton without too much drama and it even opens the door for Tobey Maguire to show up. Jamie Foxx might even imply Andrew Garfield will show up.
It's the last Spider-Man film in the current deal but the revised deal accounted for one more Spider-Man crossover appearance in a non-Spider-Man film, which is not currently accounted for.
IIRC, including other MCU characters in these solo Spider-Man films is a contractual stipulation. Like, Sony wants to leverage Marvel's characters in their Spider-Man movies, otherwise the partnership is less valuable to them. They can produce their own Avenger-free Spider-Man films otherwise.
I get people wanting Pete to be his own man and not lean on father figures, but Tony and Fury were not huge parts of the previous two films anyway, and I like the dynamics of Pete playing off Tony or playing off Fury. Pete and Strange bouncing off each other? Sounds interesting! (It's also possible that characterizing the relationship as a "mentor" role is just speculation on THR's part.)
I also wonder if Strange's inclusion here is less about introducing the multiverse and more about cleaning up the ending of FFH?

Strange and Peter were great together in Infinity War and clearly made an impact on him since Aunt May knew him in FFH.
I do not trust Sony Pictures with creative decisions since frankly they have done terribly since 2007 with the exception of Spider-Verse which, and I know I'm in the vast minority, I wish didn't have 3 gimmick characters on top of the three actual characters. They can't help themselves from overloading every possible thing into a movie so they can green light a million spin offs and sell a bunch of toys.
Marvel Studios is being smart here. They're ingraining spider-man in another Marvel character so he's harder to detach from the MCU, thus playing into future negotiations to keep the deal going between Sony and Disney. Furthermore, if they are setting up a multiverse, Sony can have Spider-Man in shitty Sony movies without screwing up any lore from the marvel movies

yeah, I imagine Dr Strange role is probably something like in Thor Ragnarok, just a small 1 or 2 scene to move the plot along.
I assumed Doctor Strange 2 would be out well before Spider-Man 3. But I love both of these characters, so whatever. I'm looking forward to it!
What if Tobey's Spiderman is the one that dies in Miles Morales' world? And it's Andrew Garfield's Spidey that becomes his mentor? Then somehow it ends with Miles Morales showing up in Tom Holland's world, either by accident or to recruit him.
🤔
The first live action spider-person portrayed by an actor of asian descent? That would be big
Following the Captain America: Civil War model
Right, a lot of folks jumping to conclusions with that one. Look at how Dr. Strange has interacted with other characters in the MCU. He's...not really the mentor type.
I don't think of Fury in FFH as a mentor either.
Yeah he's way too much of an asshole for that and that's kind of what he is in the comics as well. I don't think him and Scarlet Witch are going to get along either.
edit: goddamn y'all editorialized the fuck out of this article with the title here.
I don't think they would have Strange act as mentor to Parker, any more than Fury was acting as a mentor. But if they were going to do that, I feel like the point would be for Strange's character arc more than Parker's. Strange would have more to learn from the relationship and have more interesting places to move the character, though that would retread a lot of how they used Stark + Parker so I think they'll forgo that altogether.
I know some people really hate Tony and Peter's relationship in these movies, but I genuinely do think it was well done and led to a lot of great moments in IW/Endgame.
The perfect time to kill off Tom and bring back Tobey to achieve his true destiny.
Funny timing since they're about to team up in the comics.

The multiverse is such a good idea, why not just let mcguire, garfield, and holland all be cannon? I love it
This is really the best of both worlds as far as I'm concerned. Fully trust Feige to introduce the concept of the multiverse in the MCU without things getting too messy, then expanding on the consequences in future films. Then Sony can riff off that with their own schlocky movie with all three Spidey actors, Tom Hardy's Venom and quite possibly the Sinister Six. Conceptually exciting, will definitely have its faults but it's the sort of event film that they're unlikely to pass on and I'm interested in seeing it.
Yes please. They should do a Roger Rabbit and get some animated Spideys in there as well.
Jamie Foxx already said he's not going to be blue in part 3, so probably not.
