The Story Without Spoilers (Mostly)
The film picks up right where Far From Home ended: Peter Parker’s identity has been revealed, and his life is turned upside down. Desperate to fix everything, Peter turns to Doctor Strange for help. But when a spell goes wrong, the multiverse cracks open—leading to visitors from other Spider-Man universes.
From here, fans got everything they had dreamed of: emotional reunions, old enemies returning, and a team-up that felt impossible just a few years ago.
