Spider-Man: No Way Home takes place immediately after the events of 2019's Spider-Man: Far From Home and follows Holland's Peter Parker as he enlists the help of Doctor Strange (Benedict Cumberbatch) to rehide his identity, which was revealed to the world by Mysterio (Jake Gyllenhaal) at the end of Far From Home. However, the spell Strange used went awry, resulting in characters from across the multiverse entering the Marvel Cinematic Universe, including villains from previous Spider-Man film series such as Alfred Molina's Doc Ock, Willem Dafoe's Green Goblin and Jamie Foxx's Electro. Maguire and Garfield's Spider-Men also entered the MCU and helped Holland's version of the character defeat their classic on-screen foes before returning to their respective universes.
