First off, while it has been long rumored that Rachel McAdams would not be returning to the MCU, this has turned out to be false asshe is now confirmed to be back for the sequel. The next major intel came in the confirmation of long speculated character,America Chavez! America Chavez is another Young Avenger coming into the MCU fold, and her abilities revolve around teleporting through the multiverse. She will be played by Xochitl Gomez. The biggest piece of information came, though, in this movie’s direct tie-in to the upcomingSpider-Man 3! And while that is amazing news enough, if you read between the lines, this all but confirms the live action Spider-Verse that has been teased and rumored for months now.

With all the casting additions to the third Spidey flick, andDoctor Strange 2 flat out telling you it’s a multiverse adventure in its very title, we can now safely assume that the Sorcerer Supreme will be more than amentor to young Peter Parker, but rather a guide through the multiverse. The possible plot could see the newly framed Spidey joining Strange as they hop through multiple worlds, seeking the advice and help of other Spider-Men whilst also dealing with new incarnations of previously seen villains like Doctor Octopus and Electro.

Lord know there is a lot to take in after this week, and ScreenGeek will do its best to break everything down for you all and explain it as best as we can with official confirmations and proper context clues!
