Doctor Strange 2 ad drops massive Tobey Maguire Spider-Man Easter Egg – WATCH

Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness: Marvel releases new teaser
Tobey Maguire’s Peter Parker entered the MCU in Spider-Man: No Way Home, a Marvel movie that co-starred Benedict Cumberbatch’s sorcerer. Now Sam Raimi, who directed the original Spider-Man trilogy, is helming Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness and fans have been wondering if the original Web-Slinger will cameo in this film too. A new ad for Doctor Strange 2 has dropped with what some fans are interpreting as a big hint.
This new Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness ad turns out to be a commercial for Tide and stars Wong.
In the minute-long adventure, the Sorcerer Supreme is determined to get Stephen’s Cloak of Levitation washed with Tide pods before he returns.
However, the robe has a mind of its own and flies off through New York City as Wong tries to capture it in a portal.
In one scene there’s a truck for Joe’s Pizza Parlor, which is the delivery service Maguire’s Parker worked for in Raimi’s Spider-Man 2.

Of course, this could just have been the version of Joe’s in the MCU, but it’s nonetheless a big nod to Raimi’s own movie.
It’s also worth noting that Spider-Man 2 made a reference to the Doctor Strange of that Sony universe.
So we wouldn’t be surprised if the Multiverse of Madness movie travels there for a cameo from Maguire.
The star himself even admitted that Spider-Man No Way Home wasn’t the end of his return as his Peter Parker.
In a video chat for Deadline with Tom Holland and Andrew Garfield, Maguire said: “It was really about getting together with these people and revisiting what was part of my history and getting a chance to come together. There are personal things too which are kind of resolutions, or a way to revisit and…I’m not quite sure how to put it…”
What he said next certainly caught the attention of MCU fans hoping for more of his Peter Parker.
