Spider-Man: No Way Home - 8 Best Fan Theories After The Trailer

8. The Villains Haven't Switched Universes - Peter Has

Why is Spider-Man: No Way Home actually called Spider-Man: No Way Home? It's a somewhat obvious question that few people seem to be asking, even though - depending on your answer - the multiverse element of the story could be completely flipped on its head.

The general consensus seems to be that Doc Ock, Electro, and the rest of the old Spider-Man movie villains have crossed over from their universes, directly into Peter Parker's. But what if that's not the case?

The titles of the previous MCU Spidey movies (Homecoming and Far From Home) both referenced Spidey himself. Homecoming was a nod to the homecoming dance at Peter's school (as well as the character "coming home" to Marvel Studios), while Far From Home described Peter's situation in the film: after embarking on a school trip in Europe, he's literally "far away" from his American home.

Following this logic, it's reasonable to assume that No Way Home is also a reference to Peter, and that it's him - not the villains - who finds himself journeying into parallel universes, struggling to find a way back home.

There's even this shot in the trailer, where Spidey is falling into what might be a multiverse portal. If that's what we're looking at here, then Peter's circumstances will definitely be worthy of that "No Way Home" title.
