Continuity mistake: Doc Ock is supposedly from Spider-Man 2 yet here he's gained a sweatshirt or turtleneck whereas in that movie he didn't have one. It's made clear he was pulled from his timeline just before his death, so he should be wearing the same thing.

Spider-Man: No Way Home is an odd movie that's set just after the events of Spider-Man: Far From Home where the Webhead ends up messing with one of Dr. Strange's spells and causing a mess...in this case, having the enemies from the various Spider-Man movies to come through to his world. It then takes all three cinematic Spider-Men to swing in and "cure" The Lizard, Electro, Sandman, Doc Ock and the Green Goblin while NYC wants to tear the Wall-crawler to pieces as well. CGI plus some practical effects make it tolerable, while MJ and the others help. Marisa Tomei's Aunt May fate is...sad.
1/10. Who thought this was a good idea? Nothing more than corporate greed. I'm sick of the MCU and its need to connect all the movies together. Tom Holland does the wussiest take on Spider-Man I've ever seen. Both Tobey MacGuire and Andrew Garfield seem embarrassed to be seen in this schlock fest. Between Holland, Zendaya, and Jacob Batalon, this is worst trio I've ever seen. They'll soon be doing nothing but junk once this franchise is done just like the key trios of Star Wars, Scream, and Harry Potter for the most part. The villains are wasted with the ludicrous idea of "curing"them.

Suggested correction: I mean how much time took place between the spell casting and his arrival at the bridge? I'm sure there was some confusion.
Green Goblin: Poor Peter... too weak to send me home to die.
Peter Parker: No. I just wanna kill you myself.
Green Goblin: Attaboy!
Trivia: Spider-Man asking Doctor Strange to cast a spell in order to make people forget that he is Peter Parker is similar to the comics storyline "One More Day." After the events of "Civil War" where Spider-Man revealed his secret identity to the world, he made a deal with Mephisto to save Aunt May's life in exchange for Mephisto nullifying Peter's marriage to Mary Jane Watson. As part of the deal, Mephisto erased everyone's memory of Spider-Man being Peter Parker.
Question: Are the Tobey Maguire and Andrew Garfield Spider-Man movies now part of the MCU?
Answer: No, they are part of the multiverse. The MCU is just one of those universes within the multiverse.
Answer: I almost think the best way to refer to them would be to call them "MCU-Adjacent." Both answers nail it - they're not part of the MCU universe itself, but are canonical to it and co-exist alongside it thanks to the establishment of the multiverse. And considering the "Doctor Strange and the Multiverse of Madness" trailer teases Patrick Stewart as (presumably) Professor X, I think we could probably also apply this to pretty much any other Marvel adaptation ever made that was not made by Marvel Studios itself. It all co-exists and is all canonical to each other through the use of multiverses/alternate timelines/alternate dimensions.
Answer: No. It's explained that they are from another universe, and were sent back to their universes at the end of the film.
