Spider-Man: No Way Home
DespiteSpider - Man : No direction Homefeaturing several elements from a major Marvel Comics story involving Mephisto , the raw trailer for the upcoming flick crap Marvel ’s devil redundant . Taking cues from one of Spider - Man ’s big ( and most controversial ) story know asOne More Day , Peter Parker end up making a deal with Mephisto that resulted in his revealed identity being delete from public memory along with many other retcons to his personal history . However , it seems as though Mephisto ’s part will most likely be circumvented bySpider - Man go to Doctor Strange for help , lead in the multiversal chaos sport in the trailer .
In Marvel Comics’One More Dayfrom J. Michael Straczynski and Joe Quesada , Aunt May was shot in a hit meant to take out Spider - Man due to his personal identity being discover to the earth in the comics’Civil War .

Now , much like inOne MoreDay , theSpider - Man : No Way Hometrailershows an attempt to erase the world ’s collective memory of Spider - Man ’s secret identity , which was unveil by Mysterio . However , it seems as though Mephisto ’s role wo n’t be featured . Interestingly enough , Peter and MJ had no retentivity of their deal with the devil in the comic ( by Mephisto ’s design ) , resulting in Spider - Man ’s thinking that the retentiveness wipe came from the combined travail of Doctor Strange , Iron Man , and Mr. Fantastic . Likewise , it looks likeNo Way Homewill see Doctor Strangeactuallyhelping Peter for material by seek to cast a dangerous spell ( rather than Mephisto being the dependable cause ) .
While there ’s still a slight possibility that Mephisto could be involved inNo Way Home , it seems unlikely due to the film ’s overall focussing which is the dangers of multiversal topsy-turvydom beforeDoctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness(the MCU ’s subsequent pic ) . to boot , Doctor Strange inNo Way Homecertainly seems to be a lot more palatable and recognizable for audiences , rather than a wheeling and dealing devil whose actions amount from the thinly - veiled desire by Marvel ’s editorial team who wanted to work Spider - Man back to basic in the funnies ' continuity .
In any case , Doctor Strange using a charm to stir up the mind wipe ( regardless of whether or not it cultivate ) is a great homage toOne More Day , a major narration that is just as prevailing in the comics now ( like in Spider - Man ’s currentSinister Warevent ) as it was back when it was published back in 2007 . That being said , with so manyvillains cod inSpider - Man : No Way Home , it ’s doubtful Mephisto and his now redundant role will be featured when the film relinquish on December 17th .
