Previously on… Spider-Man: Far From Home, Spider-Man faced off against Quentin Beck / Mysterio, who claimed to be from another dimension but was actually a disgruntled former Stark Industries employee attempting to fake his way into being a hero through use of holograms, drones and theatrics. Though Spider-Man defeated him, Mysterio had one last card up his sleeve: a mid-credits scene, via which he not only framed Spider-Man for his own death and being the one responsible for using the drones for harm, but also revealed the superhero's secret identity of Peter Parker, with this information being relayed by none other than J. Jonah Jameson, played by J. K. Simmons, of TheDailyBugle.net... except he's not playing the same Jameson from Sam Raimi's Spider-Man trilogy, he's playing a new Jameson native to Earth-199999 — look, it's confusing. Spider-Man: No Way Home picks up exactly where this left off: With Spider-Man shouting "What the fu[car horn]?!" Show Spider-Man, who is out in public in Times Square with his new girlfriend MJ, is immediately recognized, and the two retreat to Aunt May's apartment. There, Peter locks all the doors and closes all the windows; he'd much rather discuss the fact that May and Happy Hogan just broke up, but helicopters and news footage interrupt them. The four, plus Ned Leeds, are interrogated by the Department of Damage Control. Some crack legal work from one Matt Murdock gets the charges dismissed, but Murdock points out that Spider-Man will still need to face the court of public opinion — a fact underlined when someone throws a brick, labeled "WE BELEIVE [sic] MYSTERIO," through the apartment window. (Peter tries to catch it, but Murdock beats him to it, claiming, "I'm a really good lawyer.") In general, the public is split down the middle on the subject of Peter's character. Hogan offers the Parkers refuge at his own high-end, high-security condominium. Peter, MJ and Ned begin their final year of high school. They agree to apply to several colleges, including MIT, together, but (in a Time Passes Montage that elides several months) are rejected by all of them on grounds of the controversy surrounding Peter. Flash Thompson did make it in, rubbing salt in the wound; he heads to an incoming-freshman mixer while MJ and Ned get back to work. Peter, remorseful over costing his friends their future, goes to visit Doctor Strange at the New York Sanctum Sanctorum. He is greeted by Wong, who is revealed to have become the Sorcerer Supreme on a technicality, due to Strange having Blipped for five years before Strange himself comes down. The sorcerer greets him warmly, glad to be re-united with someone who helped save half the universe. Strange: I think we're beyond [you] calling me "sir".
Peter begs Strange to use the Time Stone to undo The Reveal forced on him by Mysterio, but Strange reminds him he doesn't have the Time Stone anymore after it was atomized in Avengers: Endgame. However, he does have a Laser-Guided Amnesia spell which will fix everything. The two retire to the Sanctorum’s basement: the Undercroft, where Peter oversees the spell which will cause everyone to forget that Spider-Man is Peter Parker. —except MJ, of course. —And Ned, the first person who ever found out. And Aunt May should really be allowed to remember— And while, as we learned in Doctor Strange, the Sanctum Sanctorum does have wifi, it does not have a content management system (like you'd find on this very wiki) where people can make edits on the fly. The resulting merge conflicts almost cause the spell to unravel... and take reality with it. Strange freezes the spell and castigates Parker for trying to meddle with the universe for his own convenience... especially when Peter admits he hasn't tried simply calling MIT to plead his case first. Strange: You changed my spell! You don't do that! I told you, and that is why! That spell was completely out of
control. If I hadn't shut it down, something catastrophic could've happened. Peter learns from Flash that someone in charge of MIT admissions was at the mixer and is heading to the airport. Peter manages to find her car, which is stopped in traffic on the Alexander Hamilton bridge, and begs her to re-consider. However, they're interrupted by a supervillain: It's Doctor Octopus, played by Alfred Molina, as seen in Sam Raimi's Spider-Man 2, demanding to know what happened to his machine.note The two spar inconclusively until Doc Ock manages to rip part of Peter's nanotech costume off; this allows Peter to hack the manipulator arms, incapacitating his assailant and winning the fight. The MIT admissions lady thanks Peter for saving her, promises to re-evaluate his case, and then hustles off-screen to (apparently) walk to the airport. Before Peter is able to interrogate Doc Ock on just who the hell he is and what he’s doing here, they are interrupted by a pumpkin shaped bomb which destroys part of the bridge, wielded by (what Peter later describes as) "a flying green elf," who lets out a distinctive cackle: "Osborn?" Octavius blurts out. The elf swoops down on his glider, ready to attack Peter until a Sling Ring portal takes Peter and Octavius away from the fight. Unexpectedly, Spider-Man finds himself back in the Sanctum Sanctorum, with Octavius in a magical prison cell alongside a humanoid reptilian beast. Strange shows up and explains that the half-frozen, half-rewritten spell still had time to backfire: it started grabbing anyone from Alternate Timelines who knows that Spider-Man is Peter Parker and dumping them here, including Octavius, the flying green elf, and the lizard guy. He tasks Spider-Man with hunting them down, giving him a magical attachment to his webshooter that will Portal Door anything he shoots it at straight to a cell. Peter asks for, and gets, help from MJ and Ned, who set up a command center in the Undercroft. Ned tracks down another disturbance. Spider-Man assumes it's the flying green elf, whom Octavius knew at one point: Norman Osborn, a brilliant military researcher. However, Octavius claims it can't be him, as he (Osborn) died several years prior. Whatever the case, Spider-Man sorties out to investigate. He finds a blue bioluminescent man wielding electricity. The man’s strength is too much for Spider-Man to handle and he is nearly fried before he is shielded by a sentient cloud of sand: Flint Marko / Sandman, played by Thomas Haden Church, as seen in Sam Raimi's Spider-Man 3, offering assistance.note The two work together and take down the electric guy: Max Dillon / Electro, played by Jamie Foxx, as seen in Marc Webb's The Amazing Spider-Man 2.note Peter apologizes to them both and explains that they are imports from other universes. He teleports them to their cells in the Undercroft, where Max recognizes the lizard: Dr. Curt Connors, played Serkis Folk style by Rhys Ifans, as seen in Marc Webb's The Amazing Spider-Man.note The next morning, after cleaning up the damage from the fight with Electro, Peter gets a phone call from Aunt May: "One of the guys you're looking for just walked in." Spider-Man rushes over to the F.E.A.S.T. shelter where she works, expecting trouble... only to encounter Norman Osborn, played by Willem Dafoe, as seen in Sam Raimi's Spider-Man.note She points out that Osborn is not well, clearly afflicted with a Jekyll & Hyde situation that makes him lose control, and asks Peter if there is any way he can help the imported supervillains. Peter, who has finally gotten his life together (MIT, etc), has other things on his mind. Peter escorts Norman back to the Undercroft, where Octavius and Osborn recognize each other. The fact that Osborn is dead is contradicted by testimony from Flint: both of them are dead, killed fighting Spider-Man. The imported supervillains sans Osborn discuss what they last remember before being imported, and realize that all of them were brought to this universe at the exact moment they were about to be defeated in theirs... And, for Osborn, Octavius and Dillon, this includes a terminal case of "Superhero Movie Villains Die." Doctor Strange bustles in, sees that all five multiversal interlopers have been detained, and prepares to send them back to their worlds and/or deaths. Peter, remembering May's words, protests. He requests a chance to heal the villains of their trauma, believing Rousseau Was Right and that they can all be redeemed, and squeamish over the thought of condemning them to death. Strange refuses, citing The Needs of the Many... and so Spider-Man steals the magic box Strange was going to use to send them home. After a long and spectacular fight, during which Strange briefly knocks Peter’s astral form out of his body, Spider-Man wins: he traps Strange in the Mirror Dimension and steals his Sling Ring as well as the magic box, and goes to save his enemies. With May's help, he escorts the five villains to Happy's condominium. Ned and MJ have been entrusted with custody of the Sling Ring and the magic box, respectively; MJ will use it if they don't hear back from Peter. But Happy's condo includes a "Fabricator," an arc-reactor-powered bit of Stark tech which can be used to create anything. With Norman's help, Peter creates a new control chip and implants it in Octavius's original fried neural link, causing him to Heel–Face Turn on the spot. (Doc Ock was portrayed as an Anti-Villain in his film, so this isn't as big a stretch as it sounds.) Peter works on a de-lightning-er for Max and an antiserum for Norman, while the other villains shoot the breeze: Max and Flint discuss how both of them got their superpowers by simply falling into the wrong thing at the wrong time, and Flint admits that he mostly just wants to go home to see his daughter. However, not all is right with the world: Spidey's Peter-tingle acts up, and after a tense moment where he realizes that most of the people in the condo are potential threats, he trusts his tingle, closes his eyes and shoots out a web. When he opens them, he sees Norman’s hand webbed to the wall, who sneers and gives a backhanded compliment on Peter’s senses: The Green Goblin has awoken. The Goblin has no interest in being depowered, prepared instead to engage in a bit of Might Makes Right; after a chilling speech, his appeal works, and Electro takes off his Power Limiter and uses his lightning to steal the arc reactor and juice up his powers. The Lizard, who stayed in the car, also attacks, sensing danger because the press has showed up, led by J. Jonah Jameson. Let's just say that the Lizard was waiting for something like this to happen. Sandman and Dr. Octopus pull a Screw This, I'm Out of Here!, while the Goblin, the Lizard and Electro make their escapes and Peter tells May, who has gathered up the cures while the Goblin was talking, to run. The Goblin and Peter engage in an intense brawl that spans across the condo and through several floors, with it being clear that the Goblin is the strongest opponent Peter has ever faced, as shown when he shrugs off Peter punching him in the face multiple times and cackles maniacally in response. By the time they reach the ground floor, where May has made it as well, Peter is severely battered while the Goblin is barely injured. The Goblin tells Peter that he’s going to “fix” him by getting rid of his morality that he believes is holding him back. Peter begs May to flee, but she rips off a piece of rebar and stands her ground, prepared to do anything to save her nephew. Before she can do anything, the Goblin Glider crashes through the front door, striking her in the back while the Goblin makes his exit, carpet bombing the lobby with his pumpkin bombs all the while. Peter apologizes for putting her in danger, but she assures him that he is doing the right thing by using his gifts to do good things. "You have power... And with great power, there must also come great responsibility." The two attempt to hobble away... but May isn't feeling so good, and lies down to rest. She dies. Damage Control arrive and arrest Happy, who arrived at the condo just in time to see Peter cradling May and, heedless, open fire on Spider-Man, hitting him in the shoulder and forcing him to abandon the corpse of his mother figure. Ned and MJ, holed up at the Leeds house and watching the news report of the condo battle, fret over their inability to reach Peter. Ned, waving his hands, wishes he could find Peter... and, because he's wearing the Sling Ring, produces the signature orange sparks of a Portal Door. It turns out that Ned can use magic. He opens a portal, and the two see someone wearing a Spider-Man outfit through it, someone who responds to the name Peter Parker. Only, it's not the MCU Peter Parker, played by Tom Holland: It's the Peter Parker of Marc Webb's The Amazing Spider-Man films, played by Andrew Garfield. He explains that he is Spider-Man in his world and he got parallel-universe'd to Earth-199999, same as everyone else. After the new Peter proves to Ned and MJ that he is indeed Spider-Man by crawling around, Ned tries again and gets someone else: the Peter Parker of Sam Raimi's Spider-Man trilogy, played by Tobey Maguire.note Peter-2 admits he's been looking for Peter-1, having a weird sense that he (Peter-1) needs help, and asks MJ if there's anywhere he (Peter-1) would hide. MJ and Ned find him on the roof of Midtown High, awash in Manly Tears after watching a video of Jameson blaming Peter-1 for the condo battle and, unknowingly, the death of Aunt May. Peters 2 and 3 make their approach, and Peter-1 thanks them for coming, but reaches for the magic box — intending to send everyone home. The other Peters confess that they know exactly what he's going through: Peter-2 lost Uncle Ben (whose existence in Earth-199999 has only been alluded to), and Peter-3 still carries guilt that He Let Gwen Stacy Die... but, in all cases, the dead party would've wanted Peter to carry on, and they're certain May would've felt the same. Peter-1, his Heroic Resolve renewed, leads them to the science lab of Midtown High, where they begin creating cures for everyone. After a Hard-Work Montage including an allusion to the Three Spider-Men Pointing meme, the discovery that Peter-2 has biological web-shooters, a discussion of the love lives of superheroes (Peter-2 has made it work with Mary Jane Watson, but Peter-3 gave up after Gwen's death, focusing instead on being Spider-Man completely), and a talk between Peter-2, Peter-3 and Ned about their best friends (Ned feels unsettled after finding out that both of the Peter’s best friends became supervillains and tried to kill him, with Ned promising Peter-1 that will never happen), Peter-1 puts in a call to J. Jonah Jameson's stream, where he apologizes to the world for inadvertently causing a Massive Multiplayer Crossover, and "accidentally" lets slip that he has the magic box at the Statue of Liberty, which is currently under renovations to install a Captain America shield instead of the torch. He knows the supervillains will come: the box is the thing they all want, after all. While they wait, the three Spider-Men pass the time with shop talk: Peter-2 complains about his back and gets it cracked by Peter-3. Peter-1 asks his counterparts about the craziest villains they’ve fought. Peter-2 talks about the time he fought a space alien made out of black goo, with Peter-1 bringing up the time he also fought a purple alien on Earth and in space, while Peter-3 admits he feels lame in comparison, since the craziest thing he fought was "a Russian guy in a rhinoceros machine." Peter-2 reminds him that he is indeed amazing. But the time for small talk ends with the sound of thunder and flashes of yellow: the villains are here. Electro arrives, now wearing a new harness for the Arc Reactor and tries to bargain with Peter-1 to give him the box in exchange for his life. Peter-1 refuses and the battle begins. Electro and The Lizard attack, with Sandman joining in to make it a Mêlée à Trois. After a bit of fumbling (during which time the Peters finally get their numbers assigned for ease of communication), they agree to divide and conquer, and the three work together to cure Flint, who is reverted to human form; Peter-2 greets him warmly. Meanwhile, Peter-1 tosses the box through an open portal, with MJ and Ned, back in Midtown High, keeping it safe. However, Ned discovers that his Randomly Gifted ability to open portals does not extend to closing them. The Lizard makes a run for them, and the two emerge out onto the scaffolding around the Statue of Liberty while Peter-1 defends them and, ultimately, cures Dr. Connors. Electro, powered by the arc reactor, is a bit harder to handle, and the battle seems hopeless when Dr. Octopus crashes the party... but he's a Sixth Ranger, and helps attach the Power Limiter to Max, relieving him of his powers. Otto and Peter-2 renew their friendship, with Peter-2 telling Otto he’s trying to do better while Peter-3 greets Max with warmth. Max admits that, given he is a friendly neighborhood helper from Queens, he always assumed Peter-3 was black. Peter-3 awkwardly apologizes but Max says, "Don't worry about it, there's gotta be a black Spider-Man somewhere out there." All of this is overseen by Doctor Strange, who has finally managed to free himself from the Mirror Dimension after “dangling over the Grand Canyon for twelve hours”. Before he takes action, though, Ned points out that Peter's plan is working: four of the five supervillains are now cured. Despite this, Strange insists on activating the magic box. His plans are disrupted by the one remaining supervillain, the last and greatest. Green Goblin makes a play for the box, and while the efforts of the three Spider-Men, a wizard and Doc Ock are successful at fending him off, he still manages to lodge a pumpkin bomb in the box. Peter’s 1, 2 and 3 all have their Spider-Sense go off and try to warn Strange but it’s too late. The bomb explodes, destroying the box and allowing the original Mass Amnesia spell, now mutated beyond recognition by all the merge conflicts, to burst out and begin to break down the barriers between universes. The explosion has also damaged the scaffolding around the Statue of Liberty. The Captain America shield snaps off and slides towards the ground, ending up face-down on the shore. Ned is tossed off, but is saved by the Cloak of Levitation. MJ's clothing isn't as magical. Peter-1 hurls himself after her, but Goblin swoops in and snatches him away, cackling like a fiend. Peter-3 also lunges after her... and catches her. The man who let Gwen Stacy die has atoned for his greatest failure, with MJ having to ask if he’s okay after he cries Manly Tears of relief. Peter-1, still aboard the Goblin Glider, rummages around in its cargo compartment until he finds a Pumpkin Bomb. With a Death Glare, he activates it and jams it into the Glider's engines. He and Goblin tumble to the ground, coming to rest on the upturned shield. The two engage in a brutal fight, with Peter-1 gaining the upper hand. He starts beating the absolute shit out of the Goblin, his eyes filled with rage, with it clear that he’s not holding back anymore. The Curb-Stomp Battle ends with what would be a Karmic Death: Peter-1 grabs the Goblin Glider — the glider that killed May; the glider that killed Norman himself in another universe, now about to do it again — and prepares to deliver the killing blow. He raises it, lets out a yell and slams down the glider but stopping him is... Peter-2, communicating only with a steely glare that Spider-Man doesn’t kill people. But the other main theme of the film, and indeed of the Spider-Man character as a whole — "No Good Deed Goes Unpunished" — is also underlined when Goblin takes the opportunity to stab Peter-2 from behind with his new Blade Below the Shoulder. The Goblin tells Peter-1 that Aunt May died because of him, and lets out a haunting laugh. Seeing the confusion, Peter-3 tosses the cure over to Peter-1... and the Green Goblin is finally vanquished, leaving only a guilty Norman Osborn to regret the chaos he has caused. The supervillains are cured... and just in time, for the sky above Liberty Island is now filled with cracks. Residents from other universes are starting to come through the cracks, with the implications of such a population boost being horrifying. Peter-1 confers with Strange, and realizes that there's only one way to stop a massive flood of people from entering Earth-199999: to cast an even stronger Laser-Guided Amnesia spell. It's not enough to stop people from remembering that Spider-Man is Peter Parker: they need everyone to forget the boy called Peter Parker — period. Peter asks Strange if such a spell would work. Strange: Yeah, it would work. But you got to understand, that would mean everyone... who knows and loves you... We'd... We'd have no memory of you. It'll be as if you never existed. Descending to the ground, Peter-1 thanks the other two Peters and assures them they will be going home, giving them a grateful group hug and thanking them for all of their help and advice. Then he visits Ned and MJ, his True Companions. They protest that they don't want to forget him, and he promises he will find them. Peter begins to tell MJ he loves her, but she silences him: "Just wait. Wait and tell me when you see me again." The two share their Last Kiss, Ned and Peter share a tearful final hug and Peter swings away as the spell starts to take effect, with all of the multiversal visitors going back to their own universes and the world forgetting that Peter Parker ever existed, Strange included. Later, Jameson continues to report: "It's been a few weeks since the fiasco on the Statue of Liberty, and Spider-Man's cultists continue to contend that the vile vigilante is a hero. But if he were a hero, he'd unmask himself and tell us who he really is. Because only a coward conceals his identity. Only a coward hides his true intentions. Rest assured, ladies and gentlemen, that this reporter will uncover those..." Peter walks to the donut shop where he, MJ and Ned used to hang out, rehearsing his speech to re-introduce himself. The two of them are hanging out as usual, happy to be going to MIT; and MJ, normally The Eeyore, is even cautiously optimistic about going to college. Peter sees a cut MJ received from her fall off the Statue of Liberty and realizes that he can't introduce himself: it would jeopardize the future he gave up everything for. He thanks MJ for the coffee... and leaves. At May's graveside, he lays a single white rose, and then stands in silence with another mourner. Happy: How do you know her? Peter moves into an apartment in Queens; whether by coincidence or not, it looks similar to the one Peter-2 lived in during his trilogy. He sets out a GED  In The Stinger, Eddie Brock, played by Tom Hardy, last seen in the Sony Pictures film Venom: Let There Be Carnage being brought into the MCU as a result of Strange’s first spell, is in a bar in Mexico, completely plastered and unable to make any sense of the tangled continuity of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, having to go over it with a bartender multiple times. Just as Eddie and Venom decide that they’re going to go to New York to try and meet Spider-Man, Doctor Strange's spell sends them both back to their own universe. The bartender, having most likely gotten used to all the craziness that's happened over the years, grumbles about his customer disappearing without paying for his drinks, failing to notice that a piece of the Venom symbiote has been left behind on the counter, it starts to move and-Smash to Black What did Ned's Lola say in no way home?This is when Ned's lola enters the scene and reacts to the two Spider-Men. “Salamangka,” she says, alluding to the magic unfolding before their very eyes. Later on, she makes the scene even more familiar and funny when she asks Andrew's Spider-Man if he can crawl on walls, and asks him to clean up the ceiling.
Which SpiderWho dies in Spider-Man: No Way Home? Tragically, Spider-Man: No Way Home sees the death of Peter's beloved legal guardian Aunt May Parker (Marisa Tomei), who is mortally wounded during an attack by the evil Green Goblin.
Did Peter Parker go to MIT?Ultimately, while his friends get into MIT in the end, Doctor Strange's memory-altering spell means the world no longer remembers Peter Parker. Not only is he not admitted to MIT, he no longer attends Midtown High and is seen preparing to take the GED test at the end of the film.
Why did Peter Parker get rejected from MIT?Spider-Man's Identity Reveal
In 2024, following the controversy surrounding Peter Parker's identity as Spider-Man being revealed, he, Michelle Jones and Ned Leeds were all rejected from the university. In order to reverse this, Parker enlisted the help of Doctor Strange to make his identity a secret again.
