The Multiverse Saga: A Marvel Cinematic Universe Phenomenon
Spider-Man: No Way Home brought together Andrew Garfield and Tobey Maguire, setting the stage for a potential crossover in Avengers: Secret Wars. The Multiverse Saga, the three MCU phases after Avengers: Endgame, have introduced a multitude of alternate universe variants of classic Marvel characters, including iterations from older franchises.

The inclusion of the two previous Spider-Man iterations in No Way Home was a satisfying moment for fans, but the excitement doesn't end there. The beloved interaction between all three Spider-Man variants in No Way Home could have a significant payoff in Avengers 6.

In a notable moment from No Way Home, the trio of Spider-Man variants discuss their respective rogues galleries, with Tobey Maguire and Tom Holland's Spider-Man noting that they've both fought aliens. Andrew Garfield's Spider-Man expresses his desire to fight an alien, as his villains have primarily consisted of cross-species monstrosities and ordinary humans with superpowers or advanced technology.
While the return of Tobey Maguire and Andrew Garfield to the big screen is not confirmed, both actors have expressed interest in reprising their roles. Fans are hopeful that these Spider-Man variants will team up with Tom Holland's Spider-Man once again in Avengers: Secret Wars, providing a perfect opportunity for Garfield's Spider-Man to fight aliens alongside his alternate universe counterparts.
Other Exciting Payoffs in Secret Wars
Apart from Andrew Garfield's Spider-Man finally getting the chance to fight aliens, there are other potential callbacks to Spider-Man: No Way Home that could unfold in Avengers 6. Depending on the exposition given to the Peter Parker variants, Garfield's Spider-Man could reveal significant character developments, and the re-canonization of Shailene Woodley's Mary Jane Watson could confirm his growth and evolution.
Additionally, the introduction of Mayday Parker - Spider-Girl - in Maguire's universe and a possible team-up with the other Spider-Man iterations could add further depth and excitement to the storyline of Avengers: Secret Wars.
