Now, Peter is known throughout New York City as Spider-Man. Authorities question him over Mysterio's death, as the villain framed Spider-Man.
Spider-Man and M.J. (Zendaya) enjoy a quiet, private moment on a rooftop before their entire school follows Peter with their cell phone cameras. Meanwhile, J. Jonah Jameson (J.K. Simmons, returning from the 2002 - 2007 Spider-Man trilogy) continues to promote misinformation about Peter on his internet show.
Peter seeks help from Doctor Strange (Benedict Cumberbatch). Strange can cast a spell to make people forget Peter's secret, but Peter has second thoughts and interrupts Strange.
The end of the trailer hints at some of the chaos caused by Strange's spell. Strange cautions that they've opened the multiverse.
Alfred Molina appears in the end as Doctor Octopus, the villain he played in the Tobey Maguire starring Spider-Man 2. Doc Ock still recognizes Peter Parker.
Holland's Spider-Man debuted in Captain America: Civil War. His first solo film was Spider-Man: Homecoming. All three of Holland's Spidey films have "Home" in the title.
Holland also appeared in Avengers: Infinity War and Avengers: Endgame. Cumberbatch debuted in the first Doctor Strange film, then appeared in Thor: Ragnarok, Infinity War and Endgame.
Cumberbatch's own sequel, Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness, is due in theaters March 25, 2022.
