WARNING: The following contains major spoilers for Spider-Man: No Way Home, now playing in theaters.

Spider-Man: No Way Home left its title hero in a precarious situation, erasing his history and relationships throughout the Marvel Cinematic Universe. This paves the way for a new beginning for the hero, even if it strips him down to ground zero. Funny enough, this also reflects the current status quo of another blue and red cinematic superhero.

The DCEU Superman/Clark Kent is primed for a new beginning following his resurrection, making him very similar to the MCU Peter Parker. This reflects further similarities between the two, such as their multi-film development in contrast to past iterations. The multiverse also opens up some interesting possibilities for both properties. Here's how two of the most iconic superheroes of all time are in the exact same place in their respective movies.

How the MCU Spider-Man and DCEU Superman's Status Quos Align

Spider-Man Superman

Henry Cavill's incarnation of Superman died at the end of Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice, though he was brought back to life in both versions of the Justice League movie. Though the duds he wears in them are different, both 2017's Justice League and Zack Snyder's Justice League see him walking among the civilian populace as the bespectacled Clark Kent again. Beyond that, however, there's no real indication of where "Cav-El" will go, especially concerning his relationships with Lois Lane and Martha Kent. Better yet, how will his job at the Daily Planet be touched upon since he was legally dead?

The same goes for Tom Holland's version of the web-slinger in the MCU. At the end of No Way Home, Spidey put a permanent end to the multiverse shenanigans by having Doctor Strange finish his memory spell. This erased knowledge of Peter Parker from everyone's memory, including fellow heroes like Strange, as well as Peter's friends Ned and MJ. Without so much as a legal presence or even much money to his name, Peter literally starts over from scratch, having to study for a GED to make up for his lack of high school records. No longer having a history with the hero, this sees him finally move out of Iron Man's shadow and start to become his own man.

How the DCEU Superman and MCU Spider-Man Will Move Forward

Cavill's Superman would logically have much lighter and more traditional movies following Justice League, giving him his own reset. This means that for as "dark" as Man of SteelDawn of Justice and, arguably, even Justice League were, the DCEU Last Son of Krypton would have -- after this trilogy -- finally become the hero fans wanted from the get-go. Similarly, the MCU Spider-Man is set to do the same thing without an Aunt May to rely on, "original" supporting cast members or an overreliance on Iron Man and the Avengers. Ironically, fans were much more lenient with this character than the DCEU Superman in terms of his development, giving him six movies worth of leeway until he became his destined self.

The multiverse also offers a chance to expand both properties beyond their current status, allowing multiple versions of the title heroes to show up on screens big and small. With Spider-Man, there's Sony's Universe of Spider-Man characters, including Venom and Morbius. Though this exact universe is still undefined, many now believe it to possibly be the same one as The Amazing Spider-Man. This would allow Andrew Garfield's Spider-Man to come back in a big way while the MCU Spidey briefly takes a break. There's also the animated Into the Spider-Verse films, which show Miles Morales alongside several other Spider-heroes.

In the case of Superman, there's still a huge demand for Henry Cavill to come back as the character in future DCEU projects. Likewise, the show Superman & Lois, starring the Arrowverse Man of Steel, has been a huge hit and is easily the most successful adaptation of Superman in years. Brandon Routh's version of the hero, which theoretically is also the Christopher Reeve version, made a triumphant return on the Arrowverse two years ago. There are also talks of a Val-Zod series on HBO Max. Thus, the potential for both Superman and Spider-Man is limitless, allowing viewers to enjoy several different takes on the historic heroes.

To see where the MCU left Spider-Man, No Way Home is now in theaters.
